Back Up is currently seeking to recruit three new trustees to support the work of this passionate charity. Visit our vacancies section to find out more and apply.

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.

“Giving something back has been fun and made my family stronger.”
Tracy, volunteer
