Asbestos Support

As I`ve mentioned before, my oldest friend Chris died of Mesothelioma during 2009, the result of contact with asbestos whilst working as a roofer in younger days.

For that reason, I like to give fairly regular plugs to Derbyshire Asbestos Support Team and to  Action Mesothelioma Day, which falls on the first Friday of July.

DAST`s name is actually a tad misleading as they are now based in Chesterfield (Yorkshire) and provide services throughout the East Midlands.

The group can be contacted at www.asbestossupport.co.uk.

My previous articles on the subject may be of some interest. They are ;
