Fantastic to launch our South East London Meet Up with these fabulous people. We talked about prosthetics, holidays, phantom pains. Lots of brilliant tips and advice shared. THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING 😊

We are looking at an outing next time, just finding the right place, we do have Kelsey Park  in mind but let me know anywhere else which may be good.  We are looking for places near a train station, good parking and generally flat. PLEASE SAVE THE DATE 25TH JUNE 11AM – 1PM FOR THE NEXT MEET UP. Email Vicki@steelbone.co.uk to let us know you plan to join us.
