Reach - The Association for Children with Hand or Arm Deficiency
The Association was founded in 1978 following television coverage of an electronically controlled artificial arm that was not at that time available on the NHS. Although the main campaign was designed to bring the myoelectric arm into the UK for children, it also identified the need for a support group. Reach now offers support to families whose children have many and varied hand or arm differences.
