We are an innovative, dynamic, forward thinking social enterprise whose ambition is to boldly transform chronic wound, lymphoedema and mobility outcomes for as many people as possible. We engage and motivate people in their personal journey, every step of the way, and can demonstrate having a really positive impact on people’s lives. Our approaches are informed by many years of experience by an amazing group of people, but also by research in the field undertaken in our Centre of Excellence for the most challenging and complex chronic wound and lymphoedema cases.
Having been successful in East of London, we want to increase our reach and bring benefits to more people nationally.
