Beth Crawford, who lost her mother, Dr Audrey Crawford to the asbestos-related disease, mesothelioma
My mother was a great supporter of the work of this charity and chose to spend her time after she was diagnosed working with them to raise awareness of women with mesothelioma. I’m delighted that the charity will be reaching so many more people whose lives have been blighted by an industrial accident or illness.

After my father was diagnosed with his condition he was advised to contact CAA. They were very helpful, and assisted him in everything he needed to do in relation to his condition, including the claims procedure. If it wasn’t for CAA, my father would have been lost in the system.Thank you CAA.

Group fighting for important cause. My grandfather died of what was being called asbestosis after a working life in the shipyards of the Clyde. He died in1962 but I still remember his coughing fits during his last months in the hospital in Govan’s Southern General.

Dr Gourab Choudhury, Respiratory Physician at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh
I see many patients with asbestos-related conditions, however, I also see people who have developed other respiratory diseases such as COPD and asthma. A person’s occupation can undoubtedly contribute to chronic lung disease, particularly if they have been miners, or worked with any of the agents that are known to cause occupational asthma. I am therefore privileged to be working in collaboration with Action on Asbestos.
Dr Kevin Blyth, leading Consultant for Mesothelioma & Respiratory Physician at Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital
I have supported the work of this charity for many years and know that they make a tremendous difference to the lives of people with an asbestos-related disease. Having a source of information and support for patients with other work-related illnesses will be a tremendous help.

Laura Blane, Senior Partner, Thompsons Solicitors
At Thompsons Solicitors we continue to see people who have illnesses related to their working environment, and people who have had quite devastating injuries at work. Employers have a responsibility to keep their workers safe from harm, however, when something does go wrong it is difficult for the employee to know where to turn. Now there is a dedicated service that they can turn to.
