Spinal Research is a prominent UK charity that has been dedicated to funding research on an international scale since its establishment in 1980. Their primary focus is to find treatments for paralysis caused by spinal cord injuries. With the unwavering determination of their founder, Stewart Yesner, who himself is paralyzed, and the support of passionate advocates like you, Spinal Research is driving towards a future where a spinal cord injury no longer means a life sentence.

Every four hours, someone in the UK becomes paralyzed due to a spinal cord injury, and the consequences are devastating. To tackle this, Spinal Research plays a leadership role in shaping the international research strategy for spinal cord injuries. They invest over £2.

2 million in research, funding more than 20 projects, including clinical trials for the restoration of hand and arm function, improvements in bladder and bowel control, and the reduction of nerve pain. The impact of their research extends beyond spinal cord injuries, benefiting conditions like multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, stroke, dementia, and motor neurone disease. As a charity, Spinal Research relies solely on the support and generosity of the public to continue their life-changing research.
