Preparation

When travelling with a spinal cord injury, the journey often starts before leaving the front door. From having a list of what you need to checking accessible routes, everyone’s got different ways of preparing. But what’s important is that it works for you.

Confidence

When travelling with a spinal cord injury, it’s often confidence that helps overcome challenges and enable people to enjoy the experience. Watch our videos for practical advice.

Independence

Independence looks and feels different for everyone affected by spinal cord injury, especially when it comes to travelling. Watch our video for personal travel stories and tips on maintaining independence.
