Blesma joins amputee charity group to mark #LimbLoss&LimbDifferenceAwarenessMonth

Together We Can Do More!

Blesma has joined with a consortium of UK charities working to support amputees and children, young people and adults with limb loss or difference, to mark Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness month this April.

Our objective for this month-long campaign is to empower and connect with people with limb loss and limb difference across our shared community to reduce isolation and loneliness. 

The COVID -19 pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on persons with a disability, resulting in increased isolation and loneliness, with many of our collective community members staying at home and maintaining physical distance to stay safe.  

Since April is Limb Loss and Limb difference Awareness Month (LLLDAM), we will collectively spend the month raising awareness about living with limb loss and limb difference through our various social media channels.  We believe that working together we can achieve more and reach more of our collective community members at home when they need us the most.

By creating a central online hub for Amputees and those with limb difference to access the right support, and learn more about the organisations which can help them, we can cover a greater geographical spread and community reach, bringing our community closer together.
