Founded in Barnsley in 2014, LUNG is a campaign led arts charity, working UK wide to make hidden voices heard.

Based in Yorkshire, we are Creative Associates with the National Theatre and partners with The Lowry in Salford.

Our work takes multiple forms:

  • We develop high quality verbatim productions that tour from theatres to school halls to The Houses of Parliament

  • We create educational and training resources for teachers, social workers and people in power

  • We spearhead award winning campaigns to spark change

Our plays are published by Faber & Faber and studied on the AQA GCSE Drama Syllabus.

Our productions have reached audiences of 81,000 people,
our education programme has engaged 17,000 young people, and 3.8 million people have tuned into BBC Radio 4 broadcasts of our work.

We believe in the value of art to amplify untold stories and the power they have to transform the world around us
