Derbyshire Asbestos Support Team are unfortunately dealing
with an increasing amount of cases. We are now carrying out around 10 home
visits each week – and when some of those cases are as far away as Northampton Grimsby
We are currently advertising for support in carrying out our
home visits. We were recently awarded a
grant from Derbyshire Community Foundation to recruit and train two new advice
volunteers to cover our home county. We
have also been advertising for volunteer drivers. If we can find someone with their own transport
who enjoys driving (with petrol expenses paid) that would be a great help. Our policies state that home visits shouldn’t
be carried out alone – plus having someone to drive Natalie to her visits means
that she can put some of the travelling time to good use.
Unfortunately, we have had very little response to our calls
for help. Do you know anyone who might be interested? We’d be very keen to talk to them!

Sarah has also recently put out a call for voluntary help in
the fundraising department. As DAST go
out and help more people…then their families and friends all want to help us in
return. Events are being organised
throughout the region and because we are such a small staff, it can be tricky
for us to give support to everyone. We
are asking if anyone out there would like to become a regional DAST community
fundraiser, who would act as our representative in their county. Again, all
reasonable expenses would be paid.
Volunteering is good for you!
Why not give it a go…?
