Reach Charity UK Reach is the leading charity in the UK providing support for people with upper limb differences and their families from birth through to adulthood.

Reach is the leading charity in the UK providing support for those with upper limb differences, from birth through to adulthood and their families. Founded in 1978 by two mums, Maureen Brennan and Elizabeth Southwick, who wanted to lobby the government for more help for their children. Now we have 17 Branches across the UK and are proud to support a sister organisation in the Republic of Ireland, all run by parents and carers and people with upper limb difference. Every year they volunteer their time to organise local events big and small, from a play in a local park to family camping trips – anything and everything goes! They’re the lynch pin – keeping families in their area connected online and in person all year round. Our Trustees and Ambassadors volunteer their time to keep members connected across the UK and Ireland, to link members with opportunities, and give voice to young people with upper limb difference.

What happens when you have an upper limb difference and you turn 18, and the support you ve always known suddenly changes?

Swipe to read what the 18-25 Programme is Teaching us about Belonging, Resilience & Lifelong Impact. 💙🧡

“Sometimes you don’t need advice. You just need someone who gets it.”

Funded by The VTCT Foundation and The National Lottery Community Fund, and rigorously evaluated independently by Durham University, Year 1 of the programme has completed its first cycle.

The findings demonstrate that when young people are given a psychologically safe space among peers who share their lived reality, the impact reaches far beyond basic mentorship.
