We are the fastest growing amputee community in the UK.  There were 14,000 amputations of limbs in 2023/2024 in England.

We serve over 1250 amputees and their families across England and Wales. Steel Bones began as a Facebook group in 2015 with just 60 families and has grown by 2038%.  We are just getting started and are here to ensure every single amputee knows what is available to them.
