CO Support
CO Support was founded by Debbie Davis in 1995 after her health was destroyed by a leaking flue from a gas fire in the living room. Her aim was to set up a support group for other sufferers, and to gain as much information as possible about the long term health effects of CO. Even with limited publicity, a large number of people have sought help from the group, and the membership of CO Support has grown rapidly.
