The Mesothelioma UK Supporting Our Armed Forces project provides a specialist service for armed forces personnel and veterans who have been affected by mesothelioma , the asbestos related cancer. The project has been supported by grants from  the Armed Forces Covenant Fund and aims to raise awareness of the disease and provide information and support for serving personnel and veterans.
