Welcome
Thank you for visiting Be Air Aware! We are a campaign for positive change in air quality in Tyne and Wear. If we all think and act smarter, we can make a massive difference to air quality in the region, which will not only improve our health but also help the environment and make Tyne and Wear an even better place to live!

We want as many people as possible, along with their families and schools, to help spread the word that improving air quality is not only easier than you think, it can be loads of fun too!
If you’re here, you must already have an interest in air quality which makes us very happy! Spend some time exploring the website to find out about what’s going on throughout the North East for the Be Air Aware campaign.
Wherever you live in the region (Newcastle, Sunderland, Gateshead, North or South Tyneside) there will be exciting activities taking place somewhere close by. Hopefully they will inspire you, your friends and family to share your great ideas or stories about what you do to stay Air Aware!
Whether you want to send a photo, a story or even a video, get in touch and we’ll post these on the Be Air Aware site in our news section. See you soon!
