Asbestos Action is a Scottish charity that has been set up to assist sufferers of asbestos related diseases. We are a voluntary, not-for-profit organisation set up to provide practical support and advice to those who have an asbestos related disease. We want to ensure there is a local service, where ever you are in Scotland, to respond to any queries that a person diagnosed with an asbestos condition may have.

The charity was formed in 2002 by a small group of people who either have an asbestos related illness or have cared for someone with an asbestos linked condition.

In its first year, the charity dealt with around 40 referrals. Now we are contacted by well over 200 people each year who have been diagnosed with a debilitating or terminal asbestos condition covering from Buckie to the Borders and beyond. 

With a small staff of four the charity punches well above its weight in providing emotional and practical support to victims of asbestos.
