Asbestos Victims' Groups meet and greet

On Monday 27th January, asbestos victim support groups from across Britain came to Parliament to meet with MPs and Lords. Charities which are part of the Asbestos Victims Support Groups Forum (AVSGF), as well as representatives from the two teaching unions, NASUWT and the National Education Union, told members about their work, campaign priorities, and how they can work together to support constituents.

Thank you to all the advocates who attended, and all the MPs and peers who dropped by to meet with the groups.
