Mesothelioma UK is a national charity dedicated to supporting people affected by mesothelioma through expert care, information, and advocacy. Our mission is to improve the lives of those living with the disease today while helping to prevent future cases by championing equitable access to care, advancing research, and ensuring patients’ voices are heard.
Founded in 2004 as a Macmillan resource centre at Glenfield Hospital, Leicester, we became an independent Charitable Trust in 2008 and a Charitable Incorporated Organisation in 2018. We lead efforts to enhance mesothelioma care across the UK through a network of Mesothelioma Clinical Nurse Specialists based in NHS hospitals, delivering specialist expertise at the point of need.
