Your donations in action
Students have been travelling to Chennai in India to provide prosthetic and orthotic support in a country with a desperate lack of provision.
Zoe Ralston, a fifth year Prosthetics & Orthotics student, spoke about the experience and the help of the alumni fund:
The project makes a real difference to people’s lives and gives them back their independence and the ability to work. None of this could have happened without the support of the Alumni Fund."
