6FT INHALER

and Crumpsall, we collaborated with local set designer Tom to create a human-sized inhaler.

This isn’t just a sculpture; it’s a creative tool designed to empower the community. By blending art with education, the project makes learning about respiratory health fun, engaging, and accessible.

The installation serves as a curated time capsule and educational hub, featuring:

• The History of Breath: See real inhalers dating back to the 1900s.
• Real Stories: Meet characters based on the real-life experiences of young people living with asthma today.
• Future Visions: Explore winning designs from our “Inhalers of the Future” competition.
• Expert Advice: Insights from health professionals integrated directly into the exhibit.

“The inhaler is a truly unique resource powered by real stories. We’ve captured the voices of young people and the expertise of doctors to create something rooted in our community’s lived experience.”

The human-sized inhaler is hitting the road. Residents of Cheetham Hill and Crumpsall can catch a glimpse of this unique resource as it tours local landmarks, including:

• Local libraries
• Schools
• Community health centres

• To see the inhaler: Please email Hassan at h.amin@youngmanchester.org.
• For asthma support: If you need help managing your child’s asthma, visit the Greater Manchester Integrated Care resource page.

Together, we’re making Manchester a place where every young person can breathe a little easier.
