PORT-ER was a small UK based charity that raised funds to be able to award small grants depending on resources in an annual grant round to groups or individuals who need funding for project activities that align with our aims.

Our aims were:

• to encourage safe standards of prosthetic and orthotic care to internationally recognised standards;
• to support the advancement of knowledge in prosthetics and orthotics by sharing information;
• to support innovation in prosthetics and orthotics .
• to provide funding to communities of patients/users to enhance patient/user education.

Mobility Matters

Mobility is a human right. Prosthetic limbs and orthotic braces are assistive technologies which enable people with physical disabilities to be more mobile. In turn, mobility can help those with limb amputations or dysfunctional limbs to access education, work, activities of daily living, and a social life (including sport).
