SPAID / OEDA's core funding from 1983 to December 2002 came through the administration of Greater London. Initially this was a grant from the Greater London Council (GLC), and from 1986 a grant through the London Boroughs' Grant Scheme, which was set up under Section 48 of the Local Government Act 1985 to continue support for voluntary and community sector organisations operating in more than one borough. From 2000 to 2002, when a new legislative body known as the Greater London Authority (GLA) was established, OEDA received GLA funding. OEDA's subsequent applications to GLA were unsuccessful.

Both the funding applications themselves and the organisation's interactions with the grant scheme administration offer rich insight into SPAID / OEDA's activities and how the organisation evolved over time.

Industry brochures
GB 249 OEDA/K/9/1 · Subseries · c.1980-c.1984
Part of Occupational and Environmental Diseases Association (William Ashton Tait) Archives

Set of industry brochures on construction materials, flooring, roofing, insulation, weather coating and paints, protective clothing, etc., with occasional correspondence. The majority of the material was assembled 1980-1984, both as a resource for creating SPAID's information displays and as a resource for answering inquiries about specific asbestos-containing products and asbestos-free substitutes. The displays were used as part of the SPAID stand at conferences and similar occasions.

Original housing of some of the material suggests that SPAID placement student Eleni Michael gathered a significant portion of the brochures.
