LaingBuisson has chosen Cystic Fibrosis Trust as their charity partner for 2022.

Cystic Fibrosis Trust was nominated by one of LaingBuisson's colleagues who lives with cystic fibrosis (CF), and has directly benefitted from new treatments campaigned for by the charity and helped through their information and support services.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-limiting genetic condition which affects more than 10,800 people in the UK. One in 25 of us carries the faulty gene that causes it, usually without knowing.

Cystic fibrosis comes with challenges, affecting physical health, mental wellbeing and how people choose to live their lives. People with CF often have to undergo a rigorous daily regime of treatments to stay healthy and avoid hospitalisation. This can include taking inhaled and injected drugs to clear mucus and fight infections, taking dozens of pills and hours of physiotherapy morning and night. Unlike any other condition, people with CF cannot meet each other in person as if they did, they could infect each other with harmful bugs. CF can be a very isolating experience, when you cant be close to people who are going through the same thing as you.

Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the charity uniting people to stop cystic fibrosis. They improve care, speak out, provide support and fund vital research to race towards effective treatments for all. They're there to make sure everyone with cystic fibrosis can live without limits.
