Who We Are
How it Started
Tameside Pulmonary Fibrosis Support Group was founded in April 2018 by Clive and Sue Green.
Clive had been diagnosed with PF in 2009, but showed no symptoms until 2017. On finding out that there was only one Support Group, which was at Wythenshawe Hospital, he decided we needed one in Tameside.
Clive had been a Firefighter in Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service for 30 years so where else could we launch in April 2018, but at Ashton under Lyne Community Fire Station.
Where We Are Now
With several hundred members both nationally and internationally, TPFSG is testament to the hard work and determination of Clive and Sue, and the team of Volunteers.
Sadly, Clive passed away in March 2025, but his legacy lives on in this Support Group!
