We invite our families to wear Yellow next week in support of Cystic Fibrosis week from 8th June to 14th June.

Get ready for CF Week 2026! 💛

In our latest blog, our Chief Executive, David Ramsden, introduces CF Week 2026 (8-14 June), and our theme for the week: that every diagnosis is different.

"There’s no such thing as a typical day with CF, and no two people have the same experience, but it dominates thousands of lives every day. That’s why for this year’s CF Week, we’re drawing attention to a wide range of stories.

"I’d like to take this opportunity to thank each and every person who has already got involved. Whether you’ve signed your child’s school up to a Wear Yellow Day event, shared your story or experiences, organised a bake sale, are turning your town yellow, running a 24-hour podcast or doing 5k your way – thank you. And for everyone who’d like to get involved, there is still plenty you can do."
