Two weeks ago we pressed launch on our Open Bionics ‘Go Fund Me‘ campaign for Tommy and Lottie to get a Hero arm which we called ‘Can you give us a hand?’ We had no way of knowing how long it would take us to get £25,000 but if you’ve read previous blogs you will know why it was so important to us. We were … Continue reading Thank you for giving us a hand…
Having spent a few weeks being completely immersed in and experimenting with Cyanotypes (see previous post), I finally produced some images that I was happy with. I’ve decided to combine my love of printing with my work as a trustee of LimbBo Foundation and create a series of cards to sell. For those of you who don’t know me personally the LimbBo foundation is a … Continue reading CYANOTYPE Cards
I make no apologies for once again asking everyone to support us. I know if you follow LimbBo foundation on social media you will know that our ‘board of smiles’ is our inspiration, the look on the faces of our children when they receive their arms or bikes is what keeps us going. Many of you have supported us with donations, time, spreading the word, finding … Continue reading LimbBo foundation – can you support us?

We met so many amazing people, from our … Continue reading Barnsley Live Support LimbBo Foundation
I’m not sure it’s the norm for a teacher with over 30 years experience to be overwhelmed by a school, but this morning I wandered through a truly magical school where every inch of the corridors and learning spaces was a testament to thought, love and curiosity. It felt like a comfort blanket of everything I hold dear in Education. It’s a good job I … Continue reading Just proper magical!
Those of you who know me well are used to seeing me ‘play’ with a variety of creative ideas. I love trying anything new be it making baby shoes or freezing flowers, I’ll give it a go. My latest addiction is ‘Acrylic pouring’ – this is so so messy and so amazingly therapeutic. You can’t completely control your result and you never know what you … Continue reading Jewellery for LimbBo Foundation
My eyes won’t stop dripping – is the phrase Tommy uses to explain to me why he’s crying. Well my eyes have been really dripping this week. I am so proud of my little inspiration and his sister ( his parents make me cry too!). A group of limb different children and their families showed us what positive thinking, love, and a bit of ingenuity … Continue reading LimbBo Foundation meet up
Sometimes you know you need help. You know what your skill set is and, more importantly sometimes, what it isn’t. I have never been able to draw or paint – it’s one of the main reasons I took up photography. The LimbBofoundation has come a long way in a short space of time and we have many projects ongoing. The book for children was an … Continue reading Overwhelmed with kindness
