Losing a limb is a very traumatic experience, which can affect many aspects of your life. Whilst your physical needs are well catered for, there are a number of other needs that also require attention. Such as information regarding the rehabilitation process, emotional support from those with a similar experience, and help to alleviate any sense of isolation that you may be feeling. To try and address these needs, the Murray Foundation has established this web site to provide some of the information and advice required as you begin to move forward in your new life.

The Murray Foundation was established by Sir David Murray in 1996 as a support service for those affected by limb loss or absence. Since that time the Foundation has grown significantly in terms of the range of support and advice that we are able to offer.
