At Back Up we deliver our services around what you want. The Back Up Lounge is no different. You are in the driving seat. So whether you are looking for tips on adaptable exercise, bladder and bowel management or just fancy a chat, the choice is yours.

Choose from the following lounges (you will have the option to move if needed)

• Family Lounge– Come and chat with our family support team and meet other family members of someone with a spinal cord injury.
• Walker’s Lounge – A space for people who can walk with a spinal cord injury, where you can discuss the topics that matter to you.
• Catch-Up Corner – Simply a place to chat about whatever you want with people in a similar situation.
• Energy Advice – Join Emma, our Energy Advice Coordinator, for an informal discussion on managing energy costs, improving energy efficiency, and accessing the support available to people living with a spinal cord injury. Bring your questions and share experiences with others in a relaxed, supportive setting.
• Health and nutrition – Join Carolyn Taylor for a welcoming session exploring health and nutrition with a spinal cord injury.
