Our charity partner Aspire
Every two hours someone in the UK is paralysed by a spinal cord injury; it can happen to anyone at any time and no one is prepared for how it will change their life. Aspire exists because there is currently no cure. Aspire is a national charity that provides practical help to people who have been paralysed by a spinal cord injury, helping them move from injury to independence.
Our services include: Aspire Grants, which gives funds to help people buy the specialist equipment they need; Aspire Housing provides fully accessible properties for use on a short-term basis while someone is adapting their property or looking for a permanent home; Aspire Independent Living Advisors work in the Spinal Cord Injury Centres providing advice and guidance to patients; Aspire’s Assistive Technology facilities ensure that everyone, regardless of the level of their injury, has independent access to a computer, tablet or phone; Aspire’s Welfare Benefits Advice Service provides appropriate advice and support, and Aspire’s Housing Advice service can help with a variety of housing queries and issues.
