Mesothelioma and Education Workers Study report published

The Mesothelioma and Education Workers Study (MEWS) aimed to improve understanding of the experiences of school-based education workers diagnosed with mesothelioma, and to gain an indication of the extent of mesothelioma amongst school workers and pupils in the UK. The study report is now available and can be found here or by emailing Bethany Taylor at bt******@**********ac.uk

A mesothelioma show garden for the RHS Wentworth Woodhouse Flower Show 2025

We are applying for a mesothelioma-themed show garden at the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Flower Show at Wentworth Woodhouse in South Yorkshire in July 2025. The garden will be shaped by the ideas and experiences of people who have been touched by mesothelioma, including our Patient and Public Involvement panel.

We are looking for sponsorship to fund the £30,000 required for the show garden and would be very grateful to hear from any organisations or individuals able to make a financial contribution. You can sponsor the garden from as little as £200, up to the total amount! A list of all sponsors will be displayed in the garden.

To find out more about how your organisation can help, please contact sa**************@**********ac.uk, or use this link to make your donation, and name ‘mesothelioma garden’ as your preferred fund.
