Spinal Injuries Ireland

Our mission is to engage with people with a spinal cord injury, along with their family members. Together, we address barriers to full participation in society and empower our service users to work towards achieving personal, social and vocational goals. Our vision is to provide on-going personalised support services for people with a spinal cord injury and their families, empowering them all to live independent and fulfilling lives at home, for as long as they need us.
