A flourishing network

We’re delighted to share the news that our network of support for spinal cord injured people continues to grow, moving us ever towards our goal of giving every SCI person access to the support they need for all aspects of their mind, body, and life.

December 2022 marks two years since the launch of our business membership scheme, and we’re thrilled to be joined by two fantastic organisations.

SIA shares with these companies’ passion, enthusiasm, and the vision of a fulfilled life for everyone affected by spinal cord injury. Each firm has committed to support our work by joining this thriving network, providing services for SCI people, their families, friends, healthcare professionals, anyone and everyone affected by SCI.

We know just how overwhelming it can be to find the right services to meet your needs, and we passionately believe that every single person affected by SCI should have access to the support they require. That’s what drives us to work with our fantastic business members – complimentary to our trusted partners – who are experts in their sectors, and well aligned to SIA’s ethos.

SIA for all

Our ‘Association for All’ model works on the fundamentals of commitment and collaboration and seeks to benefit the whole SCI community. Working closely with our network of support, we pull together expertise, raise awareness, exercise influence, and deliver fundamental support services fit for everyone affected by SCI.

Our business members are an increasingly important part of the association, and as well as giving funding support for our services, they also bring with them a wealth of specialised skill and expertise, underpinning our services, and raising the profile of the charity and everyone we represent.

Most of our business members have been supporting us for some time, so it’s wonderful to have their ongoing commitment, and we’d like to say a special thank you to the organisations which have renewed their membership for another year this December.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to further our collaboration with organisations, both new and old alike, which share our ethos and values, and thank them all for their tireless commitment to the SCI community.

New this month

We’re proud to announce details of the latest organisations joining our business membership scheme this December.
