Support coordinators in your area
Our support starts when you’re newly injured and continues throughout your life. Our regional support coordinators, assisted by a set of dedicated volunteers, all live with spinal cord injury themselves. They’re uniquely qualified to support you, and in addition they’ll connect you to trusted partners and signpost all the other services that can help you.
