Living with aspergillosis can affect far more than the lungs. It can bring fatigue, anxiety, isolation, practical challenges and questions that may not always fit neatly into one support group.
The National Aspergillosis Centre community is a place to meet people who understand aspergillosis. But some people may also find it helpful to explore wider support for asthma, bronchiectasis, pulmonary fibrosis, oxygen use, breathing, gentle activity or emotional wellbeing.
Watch: finding additional respiratory support
In this short clip from the National Aspergillosis Centre’s August 2026 online meeting, Beth explains how wider respiratory-support groups can offer another source of information, encouragement and connection.
Asthma + Lung UK groups and activities
Asthma + Lung UK’s Groups + Support directory brings together local and online support for people with a wide range of lung conditions. It includes support groups, exercise and activity sessions, Singing for Lung Health, and other ways to connect with people who understand the impact of lung disease.
You may find something useful if you have an overlapping condition, such as asthma or bronchiectasis, or if you would simply like to meet people facing similar challenges. Some groups are based locally, while others are online.
There is no need to choose between support communities. The NAC community can remain your aspergillosis-focused home, while another group may offer something different that is helpful to you.
Finding the right kind of support
Different people want different things from a group. You might be looking for practical information, a social conversation, gentle activity, help with confidence after a diagnosis, or simply the reassurance of knowing you are not alone.
It is fine to try a group and decide that it is not for you. Finding the right support can take time, and your needs may change as your health changes.
