Front Row 2026 brought fashion, confidence and inclusion to the runway at Battersea Arts Centre.

Taking place on Thursday 24 September, the evening celebrated adaptive and inclusive fashion while raising vital funds to support people affected by spinal cord injury.

Celebrating inclusive fashion

The Grand Hall at Battersea Arts Centre was transformed for three catwalk shows featuring adaptive and sustainable fashion from Intotum, Unhidden, May Marigold and Recondition, alongside pre-loved luxury fashion from Designer Exchange.

Front Row stylist Lisa Wisdom brought the show together, with a brilliant group of models taking to the runway, including people with spinal cord injuries and models who use wheelchairs and other mobility aids. Actor George Robinson also returned to model at Front Row.

Each model brought their own confidence, personality and energy to the catwalk, helping make Front Row a celebration of inclusive fashion and representation.

More than a fashion show

Front Row is more than a celebration of inclusive fashion.

Money raised from the event will help Back Up continue providing vital services for people affected by spinal cord injury. This includes wheelchair skills training, activity courses, mentoring and career development.

Back Up CEO Abigail Lock said:

“The event highlights the importance of representation and demonstrates what’s possible after spinal cord injury.”

Thank you to everyone who made Front Row possible

A huge thank you to our stylist Lisa Wisdom, all our models, inclusive fashion brands, sponsors, volunteers, supporters and guests, as well as everyone who bought a ticket, donated, placed a bid or worked behind the scenes to make Front Row 2026 possible.

The money raised will help Back Up continue reaching people affected by spinal cord injury across the UK, providing support to help people build confidence, make meaningful connections and reach their full potential.
