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 aims are to:

• Offer support and assistance from the time of injury and for the rest of a paralysed person's life
• Provide services to increase an individual's quality of life
• Support the families of newly injured people
• Increase knowledge and awareness of the causes and consequences of spinal cord injury
• Campaign for the best medical and social care for spinal cord injured people

We hope you will explore our website where you will find a wealth of information, experiences and ideas.
