About Us
Aspire is a national charity that provides practical help to people who have been paralysed by Spinal Cord Injury. Every four hours in the UK someone is paralysed by a spinal cord injury; it can happen to anyone at any time and no one is prepared for how it will change their life. Aspire exists because there is currently no cure. We provide practical help to people who have been paralysed by spinal cord injuries, helping them move from injury to independence.
