What we do

At Back Up, our vision is a world where everyone affected by spinal cord injury can reach their full potential. Everything we do is guided by that ambition.

For nearly 40 years, we’ve worked alongside people and families to rebuild confidence and independence after spinal cord injury — providing award-winning services that challenge perceptions and open up new possibilities.

Today, we’re leading the way in helping people adjust positively to life after a spinal cord injury. Our services are delivered by people who’ve been there, who understand the journey, and know how to support others.

Whether it’s building practical skills through our wheelchair skills training, boosting confidence on our life-changing courses, or supporting families through challenging times — we’re here for everyone affected by spinal cord injury.
