Lunch And Learn Events

An opportunity for engagement and support for those who are either new to limb loss, or have not had the opportunity to access support from the LA.

Meet and learn with and from other amputees. Join the Limbless Association for coffee, lunch and chat for amputees and their families. All welcome!

Tea or coffee will be available on arrival, followed by a sandwich lunch and guest speaker.

These events are completely free of charge, however, donations would be greatly welcomed.

A chance for amputees and their families to come together to hear from key sector experts, access LA services and meet other amputees as well as enjoy lunch together.

Lunch and Learn is an initiative of the Limbless Association’s Amputee Learning Hub project funded by National Lottery Awards for All.

With thanks to the generosity of the players of the National Lottery for supporting the LA’s Amputee Learning Hub which aims to educate and empower individuals and families living with limb loss.

How our Lunch and Learners felt after the session:

“It was fun, informative and great to feel accepted for myself rather than feeling defined by my limitations.”

“I wish I had found it sooner as I had three years feeling isolated with my first amputation.”

“I absolutely found it really knowledgeable and interesting and it has really helped me prepare for what is to come after my surgery.”
