The dedicated team at Asthma and Allergy Foundation took to the streets of Aberdeen starting at University of Aberdeen, Foresterhill Campus on Thursday, to engage with the local community and raise awareness about asthma, its symptoms, and triggers. The aim is to educate and equip individuals with essential knowledge on how to respond during an asthma emergency.
Asthma affects millions of people worldwide, and it is crucial to have a well-informed community that can recognise and respond effectively to asthma-related situations. The street campaign, led by Asthma and Allergy Foundation, seeks to bridge the knowledge gap by reaching out to individuals directly on the streets of Aberdeen.
The team will approach people from all walks of life, initiating conversations about asthma and providing them with on-the-spot education. They will share vital information about asthma symptoms, triggers, and the appropriate steps to take in case of an asthma emergency. By engaging with individuals face-to-face, the foundation hopes to empower the community with the necessary knowledge to support their own health and the well-being of others.
To further amplify the impact of this campaign, Asthma and Allergy Foundation will be sharing videos capturing the interactions and educational moments on their social media channels. Viewers are encouraged to like, share, and comment on these videos, fostering a broader conversation about asthma awareness and generating a sense of community engagement.
Vicki Rae, Head of Services and Health Promotion for Asthma and Allergy Foundation, expressed enthusiasm for the street campaign, stating, “We believe that awareness is the first step towards effective asthma management. By taking our message directly to the people of Aberdeen, we hope to make a lasting impact in the community. We encourage everyone to join us in spreading the word by engaging with our social media content and sharing it with their networks.”
