Chairpersons report 2021

This is the chairman’s report for the Cheshire Asbestos Victim Support Group for 2021.

Due to the pandemic the challenges have been many, the office was closed for extended periods and the hours of work were changed to ensure staff were protected. All home visits were cancelled and interviews were carried out by telephone. This also meant that our Annual General Meeting has had to be cancelled again.

Last year’s plans for Action Mesothelioma Day were curtailed and only volunteers and staff from the group held a short vigil and release of dove balloons. Plans for this year’s Action Mesothelioma Day are also affected and will involve an information table outside the office and a balloon release.

We continue to provide a service and offer advice on the benefits available to those suffering from asbestos related diseases. During the past year we have continued to assist clients and the group has helped 114 people and their families with advice and support. We have successfully helped our clients to obtain approximately £773,000 in compensation and benefits over the last year. This figure may be significantly higher as we only receive notification from approximately 70% of our clients.

We continue to contribute to the Asbestos Support Group Forum who provide one voice for asbestos victims nation-wide and to bring any issues to the All-Party Parliamentary group on Occupational Health and Safety for consideration.

The group would like to thank our panel of solicitors and Halton Council for their continued and much needed financial support and assistance so that we can continue our work. We would also like to thank all of those who have provided donations in these difficult times which have helped us to maintain our work.

We have managed to maintain our respite caravan for another year despite the difficulties of travel restrictions and lockdown.

The group would like to thank the staff and volunteers because, without these people giving their time and expertise, the group could not continue to provide the outcomes that we do for our clients. We also thank the staff, volunteers and clients for their patience and flexibility during these difficult times.
