Asbestos Support

Asbestos Support Central England is a registered charity serving people and families in its region affected by asbestos-related diseases or silicosis. The organization provides free support, information and practical guidance to those facing the effects of exposure, including people diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestosis, diffuse pleural thickening and asbestos-related lung cancer. Recognizing that a diagnosis can be deeply distressing, its team aims to offer assistance with care, patience and professionalism.

Its services include explaining conditions and available support, advising on compensation and benefits, and helping clients complete the paperwork involved in claims. The charity can also guide people towards other relevant resources and services, with support that may include home visits. Alongside its direct work with individuals and families, Asbestos Support Central England campaigns for the strictest possible enforcement of regulations and legislation intended to protect workers and communities. It shares news and resources, and invites supporters to contribute through donations and fundraising initiatives. Based in Birmingham, the charity is a member of the Asbestos Victims Support Groups’ Forum UK.
