The loss of a limb, whether through amputation or congenital limb absence, can have a huge impact on people’s day-to-day lives. But that’s exactly why Finding Your Feet are here – to advise, support and make things that little bit easier for our Troopers (amputees).
What can we do for you?
🦿 We’re here to answer any amputee related questions you might have. Whether that’s about the process of amputation, home adjustments, benefits advice or anything in between!
🦿 We can put you in contact with other amputees who can share their own advice and learnings.
🦿 We offer a programme of virtual and face to face clubs and events – all of which are free.
🦿 We can signpost you to relevant support service for information if it’s not something we can help you with directly.
🦿 We can offer you support via our in-house Counselling service.
🦿 We can keep in touch with you for a ‘check in and chat’ with our fabulous volunteers, most of whom are amputees themselves and are able to offer advice through their own valuable life experience.
🦿 We can offer support to your friends and family.
Our Clubs
We’re currently running clubs in Glasgow, Paisley, Lanarkshire, Dundee, Edinburgh, Ayrshire, Fife, Aberdeen, Inverness. and our newly added, Dumfries! We do have future plans to expand into other areas too.. watch this space! Aside from these areas we also have lots of virtual clubs which people from all over the country can access.
Peer Support Network
Our Trooper volunteers have completed their peer support training allowing us to visit local amputees who are unable or not ready to attend our clubs.  This is done via hospital or home visits.  Our volunteers also meet in-patients once a month at WestMARC, Ayr, Queen Elizabeth, Ninewells and Hairmyres Hospitals, giving patients advice and support as well as information about FYF.
If you are outwith our main club areas, or just want to engage with us online you can still benefit by joining our private Facebook groups.
No LIMBits: This is our general support group where you can ask questions, share stories and connect with others who’ve been through a similar experience. To request to join click here.
Clubs Group: We run a program of clubs and events both virtual and face to face, which are free for our Troopers to attend. If you’d like to get involved and see what’s on, click here.
