We are heading to a community centre near you!

We have launched two new problem solving studies for 5-9 year olds with an upper limb difference. We have decided to do a series of pop-up days so hopefully we are heading to your area soon!

First up we are heading to NOTTINGHAM on Saturday 25th May 2024!

Drop us a text/Facebook message/email for more information or to get involved.

Calling all parents, we want to hear from you!

Final call for BOLDkids brain scanning study! 🧠

There is one last opportunity for 5-8 year old children to take part in Bold Kids brain scanning study.

Who can take part?

They are looking for 5-8 year old children with a congenital upper limb difference who have one hand which cannot perform a pincer grip – if you are unsure whether or not your child is eligible please get in touch! Please contact Laura on [email protected]

Our ultimate goal is to settle those initial fears, and reassure parents, it's okay - your child will be unstoppable!

“It has been almost 4 years since we found out about Kinsley’s “nub” & let me tell ya, I wish I had a glimpse into the future so I could see where she is at, now & tell my younger, terrified self— she is going to amaze you EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.. she is absolutely perfect— and she is going to adore her difference & show it off to the world. Honestly, I wouldn’t change a single thing if I could, because she is exactly what I described and more. We also became a part of the best family, 4 years ago.. the Lucky Fin Family 🧡
That being said, December is such an exciting time for our family— the holidays, family time, and we get our ANNUAL LFP ORNAMENTS!!!
We love our LFP ornaments! I have been collecting them so I can give them to Kins some day, so she can display them on a christmas tree of her own ❤️💚
Here is our newest one! 🧸” -Ashley

Our survey closes tomorrow! Can you help?

We hope our findings will provide some reassurance to parents expecting or who have just welcomed a baby with a limb difference

Motor Skills in children with limb differences How did your child crawl? When did they learn to walk? Help us learn more!

One week to go! Can you help us with our milestones survey before it closes on Wednesday 15th November?

We know it can be really difficult to remember exact ages, please don't worry, just give your closest estimate - it might help to look back through photos.

We hope our findings will provide new parents with some reassurance about their child's development.

What a weekend! We had a fantastic time at Reach - helping children with upper limb difference live life without limit

We are looking for a few more children who have a limb difference affecting their left hand - can you help?

This summer, we are continuing to seek volunteers (both adults and children aged 5.5-8.5 born with an upper limb difference!) for our fMRI study! Our study investigates how the body is represented in the brain, and will take no more than a few hours to complete in either London or Cambridge.

We will cover the cost of transport, participants will be compensated for their time, and for each participant, we will give a donation to either Reach - helping children with upper limb difference live life without limitor LimbBo Foundation UK.

We are nearing the end of our study and have just a few months left, so we would love your help! Please share our post to help us find our last few BOLDKids and BOLD Adults :).
