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.
The RSPCA is the world's oldest animal welfare charity. Our aims are to promote kindness and prevent cruelty to animals. We care about all animals: pets, farmed animals, exotics, wildlife and animals used in science - everything from puppies and kittens through to leopard geckos and guinea pigs. We have 400 frontline animal rescuers saving animals from danger every single day. We also have expert staff in 14 animal hospitals, wildlife centers and animal centres throughout England and Wales. The RSPCA’s Animal Rescue Line answered over one million calls last year - that’s one call every 30 seconds. Our aim is to prevent cruelty and in most cases investigated by our inspectors the welfare of animals is improved by the dispensing of advice and education.
