Support

In all likelihood you probably won’t have heard of some great charities that can help you out

Back-Up Trust

This charity is amazing, as well as numerous outdoor courses including skiing, they can teach you wheelchair skills. I was taught by them whilst doing my rehab in Rookwood and as well as practising my skills in the physio gym we also went to St Fagans Museum (just a few miles from the hospital) where were able to practise our new skills on a whole variety of surfaces.

Aspire

Another great charity that can help you come to terms with your SCI

Spinal Injuries Association (SIA)

Another fabulous charity that can help you out.

The charities above don’t just provide support for you but can provide support for your nearest and dearest. They will also be affected by your SCI
