Welcome to Steel Bones – a charity created by amputees and their families, for the amputee community.
We understand that every amputee’s journey is unique, shaped by factors such as the nature of their disability, the circumstances of their amputation, age, personal needs, and coping mechanisms.
Our mission is to empower amputees and their families to live life to the fullest. We do this by providing direct support and working alongside trusted partners to ensure you receive the care and assistance you need.

We are responsible for supporting the development and delivery of high-quality multi-centre studies by the Vascular Community. These research programmes will be aligned with the top research priorities of clinicians, patients and those with lived experience of Vascular disease.
We want to ensure that all vascular centres, their clinical teams and most importantly their patients in the UK have the opportunity to participate and be represented in high quality research, and where possible to lead in research and innovation.
Aside from quality, the network will support greater scale and scope of research to be performed and drive efficiencies in research delivery. Using this approach, we aim to minimise the time to implement research findings and realise the benefits in patient care and outcomes.
