According to an early invitation, SPAID Fellowship started out as an initiative aiming to ensure that the industrially disabled were not forgotten in the International Year of Disabled People (1981).

The SPAID Fellowship was understood as the 'Supporters Club' for the organisation. People disabled by industry would meet those interested to help them and to prevent further disease. SPAID Fellowship developed around St Barnabas Church, Bethnal Green, London. Following a get-together at the home of Joan Piccolo of Rainham, Essex, in February 1981, and an inaugural occasion at St Barnabas in June, meetings were expected to take place every first Saturday of the month from 2-4 pm.

Later on SPAID Fellowship developed also at Merseyside.

Joan Piccolo, whose husband had died of an asbestos-related disease, campaigned as part of the Women Against the Dust group; see 'Morning Star', 1 April 1976.
