Spinal Injuries Association


The Spinal Injuries Association (SIA) is the leading national user-led charity for spinal cord injured (SCI) people. Being user led, we are well placed to understand the everyday needs of living with spinal cord injury and are here to meet those needs by providing key services to share information and experiences, and to campaign for change ensuring each person can lead a full and active life.We are here to support spinal cord injured people from the moment their spinal cord injury happens, and for the rest of their life.
