A year has passed since the world bid farewell to Sir Bobby Charlton, one of football’s greatest icons, but his enduring legacy continues to thrive through the work of The Sir Bobby Charlton Foundation.

The Foundation has supported Exceed since 2019. Their funding trained Prosthetic and Orthotic Technicians (POTs) and the provision of prostheses (artificial limbs) and orthoses (braces) to disadvantaged people.

Support from the Foundation provided POT scholarships for 30 students from 11 countries. POTs support Prosthetist Orthotists (POs) by manufacturing prostheses and orthoses, allowing POs to treat many more patients. POTs manufacture 500 devices per year and the work of these technicians brings mobility to hundreds of thousands of people with disabilities.

The Sir Bobby Charlton Foundation will continue to honour his memory and grow his legacy, making a positive difference to the lives of many.
