ABOUT LIMBS 4 ALL
Born on Everest,
built to last.
OUR STORY
How it started
In 2006 Mark Inglis became the first double amputee to summit Everest. On the way he raised significant funds for the Cambodia Trust, where he was a patron. He came home knowing there were many more projects that deserved support.
So Mark and his wife Anne set up Limbs4All in late 2006 and early 2007. It’s an umbrella charity that directs help to the projects and people who need it most.

OUR JOURNEY
One climb started it. Twenty years of partnerships keep it going.
Where it began
Our first project, in 2007, was rough terrain wheelchairs for the Spinal Injury Rehabilitation Centre in Kathmandu. Each recipient's name and village was shared back with us, a habit of following up that we've kept ever since.
Growing our impact
Since then we’ve funded more than 250 wheelchairs and helped rebuild limb centres in Nepal and Cambodia. After the 2015 Nepal earthquake, we redirected funds to where the need was greatest.
Where we are today
Our biggest programme now is Kids Exceed, run since 2019 with Exceed Worldwide in Cambodia. It has supported 1,560 young people with disabilities to start and stay in school. Mark visits every December to meet the students.
Our philosophy
"A disability should not define your life. We can't help everyone, but we can make a real difference to many. It's the first step that always counts."

Limbs4All is a registered charitable trust with IRD donee status, governed by our trustees: Mark Inglis, Anne Inglis, John McCay, David Jessep and Martin Hawes. Our structure is transparent and auditable, and our long-term aim is a capital fund, where the interest pays for projects so every donation keeps working.
