Limbcare Llmifed Report of the Trustees For Tbe Year Ended 31 March 202S FINANCIAL REVIEW Review of the year Following the passing. early in 2024, ofLimbcares founder and principle trustee. Ray Edwards, the ytsr has been one of consolidation and building on Ray's legacy. For the fii'st time since Covid. Limbcare was able to visit rehab ceThlffs and nieet amputees in ihat setting. The Trustees have Iiow built a relaltonship with Ihe orthopaedic trauma service (including prosihelists, physios, and occupalional thei'api51s} at Wexham Park Hospital in Slough. and have been regularly visiting since. The Trustees offei. advice and support fi'om their own personal experience lo help those patients who have recenily suffered amputaiion and those receiving ongoinE rehabilitation. Diiring the year, the number of donations of mobility equipment h&s inc&s¢d. and this has enabled the Trustees to donate a number of good quality mobility scooters or electi1¢ wheelchairs io patients ihey n)eet * Wexham Park Hospital. Our siipport line remains very busy with Calls froin ampulee5 and limlmPaId. both from those recently impacted and people who suffer recurring issues. Whilsl every caller is unique. the Trustees and volunteers 'e able lo cite their own experiences when discussing {for example) mobility issues, socket discomfort and financial support Ihat could be available. The Limbcare leam aiE keenly aware Ihat offering reassurance and empathy is essential wh¢n talking lo ompiilees about the trauma ot losing a limb. The increasing volume of donations of unwanted equipment such as wh¢elchair5, mobility aids, Inobility scooters and electric w)wer Chairs has ¢nabled Limbcare lo continue lo supply the Ukrdine Relief charity with ite15 that will be transported to the couiitry and ulilised by services Ihat are in despcrale need. Doiiated equipii)ent of the best quality is either sold to raise funds or donated direct to UK amputees in need. DLiriiig the year, the Frimley Limb-impaired & Amputee Group (FLAG) organised monthly by Limbcare has giDwn in popularity- It is an evenin8 meeting for people io come together infomally to Sha experiences, and provide support and advict. We also owe a huge debt of gratilude lo our t¢am of volunteers, who give up their lime and have contributed lo our achievements this year. With Ihe problems of recent years hopefully behind us, l and my fellow trustees are Optimistic thgt iviih their support. Limbcare will continue to build on its 8reBt work.
