Breathe Easy

Do you enjoy going out and socialising, but feel cautious since the COVID-19 pandemic? Are you avoiding crowded and indoor venues? You are not alone!

Many people are still conscious of the risks of attending in-person events, especially people who are clinically vulnerable to COVID-19 and other infectious diseases.

Breathe Easy Sheffield and Breathe Easy London are both small community groups hosting regular COVID-safer socials and other one-off events. We’re sharing this website to make safer events easier to find, and hopefully inspire you to create your own Breathe Easy group!

About Breathe Easy

Breathe Easy originated in 2024 with Sheffield organisers Chloe and Jade. Their events have included COVID-safer life drawing, craft socials and cinema visits, as well as the UK’s first COVID-safer gig. They are also developing a local lending library of clean air equipment. For information about their events, visit sheffield.breathe-easy.uk

Breathe Easy London is organised by Greta Mauch, Anni, Georgia, and three other London-based COVID activists. COVID-Safe Socials in London started in March 2025 and continue monthly. For more information or to see their events, visit london.breathe-easy.uk

Breathe Easy London and Breathe Easy Sheffield operate independently and have separate funding, organisers, operations, and practices. We share a belief in harm reduction in event planning. We also share this website and name to make it easier for people searching for COVID-safer events, to inspire others to create their own, and to build solidarity among COVID-conscious people in the UK.
