#LLLDAM
Reach’s community amplified once again! Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month is growing each year and now, with new alliances, Reach can stand proudly alongside six other leading limb loss and limb difference organisations: Amputation Foundation, Blesma, Finding You Feet, LimbPower, Reach and Steel Bones, to share the voices and stories of individuals across the UK and beyond.
Reach’s recent successful bid secured vital social media campaigning support from the National Lottery Community Fund, which over the next 3 years will give Reach dedicated communications expertise to help spread awareness and break down barriers for people with upper limb differences.
For April 2025 Limb Loss & Limb Difference Awareness Month saw Reach share a video daily for the “How Do I Do It?” campaign. These videos highlighted the limb difference community doing what they love…
Just some of the wonderful contributions…
This year’s “How Do I Do It?” campaign for Limb Loss & Limb Difference Awareness Month #LLLDAM was kicked off by Reach ambassador @jay_howard who loves to sing karaoke! 🤩
