What is the Spinal Injuries Association?

The Spinal Injuries Association (SIA) is the leading national charity for spinal cord injured people. We are unique in that we are a user led organisation; our elected Trustees are all spinal cord injured and are voted for by the spinal cord injured membership.

Our Mission:

Our mission is to support people affected by spinal cord injury and to advise, educate and campaign on all its aspects

Our key objectives are to:

- Deliver high-quality services to spinal cord injured people, their families, and all concerned with their welfare

- Influence and change public attitudes and Government policy and practice towards spinal cord injured people, raising our profile with decision makers, key Parliamentarians and stakeholders

- Build on existing support while at the same time diversifying our funding portfolio to reduce dependency, increase unrestricted income and improve income sustainability

- Attract more spinal cord injured people as members and continue to make our membership central to everything that we do

- Ensure that our structure, staff, governance and operational systems are fully able to deliver SIA's mission and increase our impact
