A CHARITY is inviting anyone affected by lung disease to attend a one-day conference.

The British Lung Foundation event will be held at the Hilton Hotel in Dartford between 10am and 4pm on September 19.

It will include speeches from a range of experts, including foundation chief executive Dame Helena Shovelton.

There will be workshops, question and answers sessions and a variety of exhibition stands featuring equipment and services.

Entrance is £5, which includes lunch and refreshments.

Foundation support and development manager Ashley Green said: "This conference is a great way for people affected by lung disease and their carers to meet other people with similar experiences in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

"It will also give them a chance to get advice about how to take control of their lung health."
