Reach - The Association for Children with Hand or Arm Deficiency


It's Ability, not Disability that Matters





Use promo code REACH when booking tickets and Reach will receive a donation
Welcome to our new site - please take your time to browse around and enjoy the new features and information. You will note that there are a lot of new photographs on the site that have been taken during Reach activities, camps and other outings. If you feel that any of the photographs should not be on display, then please let us know and we will replace them.

Each year, babies are born in the UK missing part of one or both arms and hands. Added to these are a small number of children who lose limbs or parts of limbs due to traumatic incidents or necessary surgery. For many of the families of these children it is the first time that they will have come across such a disability.
 
'Reach' aims to provide the affected families with the opportunity to get together, share experiences and information about what to do (or not to do) and where to go for advice regarding treatment and to help them realise that they are not alone.

Reachoffers:

  • local branches which provide support and an opportunity for children and parents to meet
  • national office providing advice and support
  • quarterly newsletter 'Within Reach'
  • Insurance cover for the child's 'good' arm (covers UK residents from age 2 as long as they are Reach members)
  • Hire scheme for one-handed Recorders
  • Bursary Grants to eligible applicants
  • Annual Activity Week for Reach children
  • Socialising and Networking with other families
