Community groups
Join your local spinal cord injury community group
Our community groups are a great way of connecting to other people with spinal cord injury or cauda equina syndrome, their friends and families and they offer regular opportunities to socialise.
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. Find out more details about dates and locations by clicking on the calendar link below:

What our members say …
Since my injury I’ve been very actively involved in going along my local group. It was a big first step but it’s the best thing that I’ve done.
It’s given me a structured time in the diary and I go along to meet a group of friends, and friends that understand and don’t feel awkward.
The support groups are hosted by our regional support coordinators, and assisted by a team of dedicated volunteers, who all live with spinal cord injury themselves. They’re uniquely qualified to give you the support you need, and in addition they’ll connect you to trusted partners and signpost all the other services that can help you.
You can find out more about the upcoming community groups by contacting your local support co-ordinator directly.
