No one should be excluded. Sport and fitness is for everyone. Male, female, young and old… with or without a disability… everybody needs to exercise to get the best out of life and keep their mind and body going. What better way is there to do that than sport?
Providing up-to-date and accurate information is a main priority for the Limbless Association. We aim to offer high quality and useful information on all amputee and limb-loss related issues.
If you cannot find what you are looking for under our Information section, our friendly Enquiries Helpdesk is available on our freefone number 0800 644 0185.
The Limbless Association provides information and support to the limb-loss community. We aim to support people of all ages and backgrounds through a variety of existing services.
We offer support to individuals of any age, whether they are about to have an amputation or are already living with congenital or acquired limb-loss and we offer assistance and information to carers, family members and friends if they require it.
We have set up a short survey to identify the issues that concern members and the wider amputee community in relation to patient satisfaction with their DSC. Click here to read more
