BADER BRAVES "YOUNG AVIATORS DAYS"

The 2012 programme of dates and locations of BADER BRAVES Young Aviators Days has now been finalised. To find out if there is one near you please contact Sue Stokes at H.O.

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.
