Action Mesothelioma Day – 4th July 2025<\/h2>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

To mark Action Mesothelioma Day<\/strong><\/a> on the 4th of July this year. The Greater Manchester Asbestos Victim Support Group<\/strong><\/a> (GMAVSG) will be holding an event in central Manchester. The event will focus on the Freedom of Information<\/em> requests<\/a> obtained by GMAVSG on the levels of asbestos still remaining in publicly funded schools in the Greater Manchester area.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Event Details<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Date: Friday, 4th July 2025<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Time: 12 noon<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Venue: Friends Meeting House, 6 Mount St. Manchester M2 5NS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n

The GMAVSG 2025 report suggests that asbestos is present in around 80.2% (304 out of 379) of local authority maintained schools in Greater Manchester.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In 2013, figures obtained by the Manchester Evening News <\/a><\/em>found that asbestos was present in around 86.6% (903 out of 1,043) state schools in Greater Manchester.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

At this rate, many schools in Greater Manchester will still contain asbestos 100 years from now.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

As our school buildings age, and reach the end of their intended lifespans, we urgently need to learn more about the risks to pupils and staff. Read the full report here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\r\n
