Our team are abseiling!

We are hoping to raise vital funds to carry on supporting those affected by asbestos related conditions. The target is to raise £1000 which would help fund our monthly peer support groups at the Burton Street Foundation in Hillsborough, Sheffield.

About SARAG:

The Yorkshire and Humberside Asbestos Support Group (commonly known as SARAG) is an independent charity supporting individuals with asbestos-related conditions across Yorkshire, Humberside, and North Nottinghamshire.
Since 1999, we have helped thousands of families affected by asbestos-related conditions access £36 million in Government benefits and compensation. We also offer emotional support and facilitate monthly support groups - they offer an important sense of community to those individuals diagnosed with asbestos related conditions. Lastly, we signpost to legal experts. Our service is free and confidential.
