Our Mesothelioma Support Group asked us to create a Links page on our website, listing useful links to other charities and organisations which can assist patients with asbestos related diseases. You can now find this under the Help and Advice Tab in the menu at the top of the screen.
At the same time we have also created a new page About Silicosis. If you meet anyone who has silicosis, please encourage them to get in touch with us. We are able to give them advice and support in applying for welfare benefits and compensation.
The next meeting of our mesothelioma support group is on Monday the 10th of February. Patients and carers can join us in person or online. Please contact us for more information.
For patients with other asbestos related diseases there are groups meeting around the region which are sponsored by Asthma and Lung UK. You can find out details on our Links page.
