Introducing Back Up Connect, our new service that connects you quickly, on a one-off basis, to someone who has also experienced a spinal cord injury and knows what you’re going through.
Travel confidently with our Back Up and Thriving Accessible Travel Toolkit
Every four hours, someone in the UK is permanently paralysed. At Back Up, we inspire people affected by spinal cord injury to get the most out of life.
We’re here to help you move forward in your life, regardless of your age, level of injury – or whether you walk or use a wheelchair.
We know that spinal cord injury affects the whole family, and that’s why we support family members too.
We are the only charity in the UK with dedicated services for children and young people with a spinal cord injury.
