“ My name is Paul Felton and I had my left leg removed below the knee in February 2013 after my ankle was crushed in a fall in April 2011 and multiple infections prevented it from heeling.

 

Concerned by the lack of support and help available to amputees in the region, I decided to turn what happened to me into something positive and set up the West Midlands Amputee Support Group to help people talk about their experiences and share advice on coping with losing a limb.

 

Now, over a decade later I am proud to be involved with such a successful and diverse amputee local community, being able to offer advice and support in a whole multitude of topics relating to both pre and post-amputees in a comfortable, friendly, welcoming, and approachable environment. ”
