HASAG - Asbestos Disease Support

Here for you at this difficult time.

HASAG Asbestos Disease Support understands how important it is to continue supporting people and their families affected by asbestos-related diseases during this pandemic. For the safety of our patients, their families and our team, our coffee mornings are cancelled until further notice. However, we are running monthly Zoom coffee mornings and we have a Virtual Coffee Morning group on Facebook. Please get in touch if you are interested. We are visiting patients in their homes if they are comfortable with this. We are wearing masks and socially distancing as well as carrying sanitiser and using it regularly. As well as this, we are offering telephone or zoom appointments as an alternative. We are still in the office and available Monday-Friday 9am-5:30pm via telephone or email. Alternatively you can get in touch with us via social media Monday-Sunday and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Please know that HASAG’s support is still here for you.

Team HASAG.

Virtual Action Mesothelioma Day 2020

Jul 23rd, 2020

3rd July 2020 was Action Mesothelioma Day.

Normally we would spend the day with so many of you, with a Butterfly release, raffle, guest speakers, buffet and more. Unfortunately, this year this could not go ahead. While the Covid-19 Pandemic has completely changed our day-to-day lives, we have not lost sight of what is important to HASAG.

We decided to deliver our Action Mesothelioma Day online, with a video premiering on YouTube and Facebook. If you haven’t seen this video, click here. We were keen to mark the day as we always have. It is important to us, and so many of our supporters that this day is celebrated. For so many it is a day of remembrance, we remember people by releasing Butterflies.  For HASAG it is also a day to bring us all together. While we could not be together in real-life, so many of you supported us virtually and it was lovely seeing so many of you engaging, liking, and commenting on these videos. We felt a sense of togetherness.

We have been completely overwhelmed with the generosity our supporters have shown. This year we matched our record amount raised back in 2018 of £40,000! This will be donated to the June Hancock Mesothelioma Research Fund and Mesothelioma UK to part-fund a Mesothelioma Nurse Specialist. Even in these tough times, you have never stopped supporting us and we could not be more grateful to have such fabulous friends.

As well as AMD, we also carried out ‘The 2.6 Challenge’ during the early weeks of lockdown. This fundraiser raised over £2,000! We are now in our next fundraiser, Team HASAG and Friends are in a race to climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro (virtually). Follow our social media pages for updates on this fundraiser and donate here.

While this year has been difficult for so many, it has really shown the team here how special our supporters are. It is true when we say without people like you, we couldn’t do what we do.

Thank you.
