This week a film is released about the poet John Keats, who wrote hauntingly of his struggle with tuberculosis: "Where youth grows pale and spectre thin and dies."

On 19 November the charity is hosting a reception at Keats’s House, Hampstead, London, where the poet lived for two years, followed by a screening of the film at the Everyman Cinema in Hampstead.

The coalition says that it is working "with coordinated actions and one voice so that other ‘bright stars’ do not die prematurely from this disease."
