We use sport, exercise and activities to aid the rehabilitation of amputees

Story

The reason we want to support this charity is for children and adults who have lost their limbs to enjoy life to it's fullest and partake in physical activity, sporting events and arts. Children like Reuben, who lost both his legs below the knees following an accident and contracting sepsis. 

I work with Reuben's Mum Lou, who has raised so much awareness around sepsis and the difficulties children in particular face with prosthetic limbs fitting correctly and comfortably as they grow, so we wanted to do something to support a charity that means a lot to her. 

Who are Limb Power?

"Limb Power was launched in November 2009 to engage amputees and individuals with limb impairments in physical activity, sport and the arts to improve quality of life and to aid lifelong rehabilitation. In July 2014 LimbPower became a National Disability Sports Organisation, sitting alongside WheelPower, Cerebral Palsy Sport (CP Sport), Dwarf Sport, British Blind Sport (BBS), UK Deaf Sport, Mencap Sport and Special Olympics Great Britain (SOGB). Through this association and our work with the English Federation of Disability Sport and Sport England LimbPower help amputees and people with limb impairment reach their sporting potential. LimbPower also run arts based activities including confidence workshops and a photography club."
