About Us
Our Mission
At the Sian Green Foundation, our mission is to empower amputees as they navigate their new physical reality. Through the provision of funding for prosthetics, we strive to ensure that amputees are able to reclaim their independence, mobility, and quality of life. We believe that no amputee should be denied access to the prosthetics they need due to financial constraints.
To provide One on One mentoring & support For Amputees
It’s very important that you have the right support as an amputee, as losing a limb can be an extremely life-changing experience, especially if you have other injuries. The Sian Green Foundation can provide one on one mentoring and give you relevant advice and support that you may need to help deal with your amputation.
To develop relationships & engage in social activities
During Sian’s recovery, she found it very helpful to speak to and meet up with other Amputee’s who were able to relate to what she was going through on both a physical and psychological level. Through our charity, we can help you connect with people in your local area, as well as organise activities and days out to help you build lifelong friendships.
Meet Our Team
Sian Green
Charity Director
At the start of 2021 after much research, i decided to purchase my first sports blade from Levitate sport. I had been an amputee for 8 years at that point and never fully enjoyed any physical activity so this was a huge step for me.
I was finally able to comfortably join in at Boxing classes and the gym which made a huge difference to my life and my mental health.
