Our Head of Service, Nevyn Stevenson is running the Sheffield 10k on 29th September 2024!
Nev is hoping to raise vital funds to carry on supporting those affected by asbestos related conditions. The target is to raise £2000 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 £32 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.
1. Expert Benefits Advice
In 2022/3 alone, we helped 311 Individuals with asbestos-related conditions access £4.3 million in Government benefits and compensation. Individuals accessing our service are on average £13,500 better off because of our help.
2. Emotional Support
We provide peer support in monthly social groups across the region (Sheffield, Doncaster, York, Hull, Wakefield, and Bradford). We also provide 1:1 emotional support and bereavement support.
3. Legal Signposting
We signpost to specialist asbestos solicitors who all provide a no win no fee service and importantly, do not take a success fee.
