Group Meetings 2020
Due to the Covid-19/ Coronavirus situation we have made the decision to cancel our asbestos support group meetings for the next two months in April and May, the future scheduled meetings will be reviewed dependent upon the public health situation. Our members are in the most vulnerable group with underlying health issues, so it would be unfair to place them in a risky situation.
We will continue to communicate as normal via telephone , and email and other social media channels to provide ongoing support.
Phone 01495 272 479, or email:enquiries@a-a-s-c.org.uk

Making our service felt!

We need to have hard evidence about the impact we make. If you would like to help us prove our impact, get in touch enquiries@a-a-s-c.org.uk
