Every day an average of three people in the UK and Ireland are paralysed by spinal cord injury. Paralysis does not just mean being unable to feel or move – it also affects other vital functions such as bladder and bowel control, blood pressure, breathing…
Spinal Research is the UK’s leading charity funding research to develop reliable treatments for spinal cord injury. Recent successes in the laboratory open the way to treatments that will restore sensation and movement to paralysed people.
We are the national charity for hospice care, supporting over 200 hospices in the UK. We believe that everyone matters throughout their life right up until they die, and that no one should die in avoidable pain or suffering.
Our aim is to make sure that everyone with a life limiting or terminal condition gets the very best care, and we believe hospices are critical to achieving this.
Collectively hospices in the UK care for around 360,000 people every year, and we work closely with them to support their vital work and to create a stronger voice for hospice care. We also support the development of hospice and palliative care worldwide.
