On behalf of Mesothelioma UK Charitable Trust, I would like to thank all our wonderful supporters who give their time selflessly in helping to raise awareness about this disease, and the wonderful fundraising that they continue to do to help keep the vital services that Mesothelioma UK provide to anyone affected by mesothelioma.
Jill Lemon Fundraising Manager.

The Mesothelioma UK Helpline has kindly been sponsored for 1 year by a grant of £49,660 made by the Mick Knighton Mesothelioma Research Fund. The design and set up of the new Mesothelioma UK and Charitable Trust Website has been kindly funded by a grant of £6,715.13 from Macmillan Cancer Support.

For everyone concerned; the patient, family, friends and health care professionals Mesothelioma is perhaps the most challenging of all cancers.

This is why Mesothelioma UK exists.

Mesothelioma UK is a resource centre dedicated to Mesothelioma. We provide information and support for people affected by Mesothelioma. We have a national free phone helpline (0800 169 2409) that provides access to impartial, accurate and relevant advice specific to mesothelioma for patients, carers and health care professionals.  Callers to the helpline can access specialist nurse clinical advice, booklets and factsheets and can also be put in touch with local sources of information and support including, for patients and carers, contact with their local nurse specialist and local or nearest support group (where available).  For health care professional's we organise numerous training and educational events, regular news bulletins, have established a National Mesothelioma Nurse Action Team and generally support health care teams in the management of Mesothelioma patients.  We collaborate with all other interested parties to raise awareness about Mesothelioma and the dangers of asbestos and coordinate events surrounding Action Mesothelioma Day in July each year.

Initially funded by Macmillan Cancer Support, Mesothelioma UK now relies totally on voluntary donations to our own independent charity; Mesothelioma UK Charitable Trust.
