Finding Your Feet
Charity registered in Scotland SC044572
We support families affected by amputation or limb absence through a range of sporting initiatives and social inclusion projects designed to positively affect both physical and mental wellbeing. Isolation is a huge problem for many amputees. It has been proven that quality of life and even life expectancy is greatly reduced without social inclusion, with as many as 30% of vascular amputees not surviving to one-year post amputation. FYF is key in addressing this issue. We are directly saving lives.

Current opportunity
We are Scotland's amputee charity based in Paisley and have created a garden, in waste ground we are leasing from Network Rail.
I'm sure you agree that time spent in the garden is beneficial for your mental health. This is why we have created this garden for the use of all the service users of the various charities who share our building, including our own Amputees.
We are looking for help with general garden maintenance, weeding, watering, dead heading, planting when required. We have the necessary tools required including gloves.
We have raised beds, Tyre planters and a border of fruit shrubs/trees and are creating a wild flower hill.
Timings are flexible .
