At the Limbless Association, Integrity is one of our core values 💪

For us, integrity means doing the right thing, not the easy thing. It means being honest, accountable, and committed to supporting our members with care, respect and transparency.

Whether we're providing advice, delivering services, or advocating for the limb loss and limb difference community, we strive to make decisions that reflect our values, even when they require more time, effort or difficult conversations.

Integrity builds trust, and trust helps us create lasting positive change for the people we support ✅

Thank you to LA Volunteers from David Rose – LA’s Chair of Trustees 🤗

As we reach the end of the Volunteers’ Week for 2026, it’s worth just reminding ourselves of how important this subject is. Our Volunteer Visitor peer mentoring programme provides vital one-to-one support for individuals both pre- and post-amputation who require practical information and emotional support through their limb loss journey🦿

For over 25 years, the LA has provided this support for thousands of people who encountered challenges with adjusting to life after limb loss. But this vital work could only be delivered because of the amazing commitment of our volunteers! So let me take this opportunity to say a big “Thank You” to all our volunteers – you make a real difference!

David Rose
