About Us
Welcome to the Leicester Sleep Apnoea Patients’ Association — a community-driven charity dedicated to supporting people affected by sleep apnoea across Leicester, Leicestershire, and beyond.
We’ve been a registered charity since way back in 2001. But this website is a brand new development for 2026. So bear with us while we create new content.
Founded for patients, our association exists to raise awareness of sleep apnoea, share reliable information, and create a space where individuals and their families/friends can learn, and feel supported on their journey toward better sleep and improved health.
We support our members and the wider community through:
Information and education: clear and reliable information on symptoms, diagnosis pathways, treatments, and lifestyle management
Peer support: Members of our association have access to volunteers who are available to take calls to give help and encouragement with CPAP treatment.
Events and campaigns: In March each year, we hold our annual sleep apnoea information day with expert speakers, a CPAP Q&A and we invite stallholders to come along with products to make CPAP more comfortable. And you don’t have to be a member to attend.
Our members magazine: We publish our members magazine, ‘Dunsnoring’ three times a year. It is filled with practical articles on living with sleep apnoea, updates on research and treatments, and information about upcoming events and activities.
