About this event
Our local community groups are a great way of connecting to other people with SCI, their friends and families and they offer regular opportunities to socialise.
From September 2026 the Sussex spinal cord injury community group will now be meeting every 3rd Friday of the month from 12:30-2:30 at The Longshore in Shoreham-by-Sea.
For more details contact SIA support coordinator Aleks: [email protected].

Meet your host – Aleks
Hello! My name is Aleks, and I’m your regional Support Coordinator in the South East of England.
At the end of 2011 I was diagnosed with a Spinal cord tumour located inside my Spinal cord at C3-C4, 3 weeks later in January 2012 I underwent surgery to remove the tumour, 18 months later I underwent 6 weeks of radiotherapy to stop the remaining tumour from growing. The surgery and radiotherapy left me with a C3-C5 incomplete Spinal Cord Injury. Over the years I have regained the ability to walk.
If you’ve recently become injured, already living with a spinal cord injury, or are close to someone who is, you’re in the right place. You can book a support session, book a call or find out more about the upcoming community groups by contacting your local support coordinator.
