Programmes

Back-Up offers a great range of services for those with spinal cord injury and opportunities for able bodied volunteers to support our work.

 

Wheelchair Skills

Back-Up’s spinally injured volunteers run 3-hour sessions in the majority of spinal centres across the UK.  These are aimed to give inpatients the skills and confidence to use their wheelchair across all terrains; including ramps, step and curbs.  Why not view our full calendar of skills sessions this year.
