  • Aspire
    The Aspire National Training Centre in Stanmore is the first fully integrated Training Centre in Europe for disabled and non-disabled people. Spinal Cord Injury has a devastating effect on the 1,200 people who become paralysed each year. The individual affected will lose muscle and sensory control and the vast majority become full time wheelchair users for the rest of their lives. Aspire offers practical support to the 40,000 people living with a spinal cord injury in the UK so that they can lead fulfilled and independent lives in their homes, with their families, in work-places and leisure time.

    Have been operating since 1994, and have grown steadily since that time, in the office and out on the road. Many freelance leaders and doctors now help us run our fund raising challenges, and we work with lots of overseas ground handlers, with whom we have excellent and long-running relationships.
