CONVERSATIONS - the experience of life with limb loss. A joint project of Blesma, The Limbless Veterans (UK) and the Citizen CF

Several Blesma Members have spent time with wounded Ukrainian soldiers to share their experiences of life with limb loss. 

The conversations were recorded and turned into powerful stories.

This project is an opportunity for conversations and stories to be shared between injured UK veterans and injured Ukrainian service personnel to support each other through recovery.

This is a space for individuals to listen, to be curious, to be open and to learn from each other.  

Every story has value and this project is about sharing lived experiences to raise awareness of living with limb loss and disability and to share ideas on self motivation.

Participants of the first series of Conversations:

Stephan van Niekerk served in The Rifles, UK
Oleksii, call sign FRODO, drone operator, Ukraine

Mark Ormrod MBE, Former Royal Marine, UK
Vadym Svyrydenko, Presidential Commissioner for Rehabilitation of Combatants, military paramedic, Ukraine
