Amputation Foundation to host inspirational open day

This ‘Have a Go’ event promises to be an inspiring and inclusive experience, to allow amputees, their families and people with disabilities to take part in interactive sessions using specially adapted power-assisted equipment. The event welcomes individuals of all abilities to explore the life-changing benefits of movement and community support.

The two interactive sessions are free for participants to take part in:

10:30am - 12.30pm

1.30pm – 3.30pm

This unique collaboration brings together passionate organisations with a shared vision—to empower individuals, break down barriers, and support those facing challenges in their daily lives.

A Partnership That Changes Lives

The Amputation Foundation (AF) is a charity born from two remarkable individuals—a military veteran who sustained life-altering injuries in Afghanistan and a civilian who overcame the devastating effects of a road traffic accident. Their experiences fuelled a passion to support amputees and their families through immediate, empathetic, and effective assistance. AF provides vital resources, including peer mentoring, support groups, prosthetics guidance, and rehabilitation workshops, helping amputees across the UK regain independence and confidence.

Amputation Foundation are kindly supported by Rothera Bray Solicitors who provide legal support and representation for injured clients. Rothera Bray are Midlands based, and their specialist serious injury team represents a number of clients with life-changing and permanent injuries, including amputees, spinal cord injured patients and those with brain and other catastrophic injuries including those injured during birth. Meanwhile, Active In Motion (AIM) is an innovative Health & Wellbeing Centre dedicated to improving quality of life through movement. Using power-assisted equipment, functional fitness tools, and specialised programs, AIM welcomes individuals who have experienced disabilities, social exclusion, rehabilitation needs, mental health challenges, and more. By fostering a supportive and inclusive environment, AIM empowers members to improve their physical strength, mobility, and mental well-being while creating a sense of community.
