Hull and East Riding
Make a difference today.
We believe that SCI can become a treatable condition and the research we fund is making incredible breakthroughs.
We want to enable people with paralysis from SCI to enjoy everything that is so easy to take for granted – from walking to basic bladder, bowel and breathing functionality, sexual function and living independent lives. We are achieving this by funding pioneering research all the way from the laboratories of University College London (UCL).
There is currently no accepted cure for spinal cord injury. This is in part because, until recently, it was a widely held belief that reconnecting severed spinal cords was not possible. The work we fund is strongly challenging that belief.
Since the first procedure, new innovations have been developed by the team at UCL to improve both the cell transplantation technique and the surgical procedure that will be used. We believe we are on the verge of changing the lives of millions globally.
As a tiny organisation without any government funding, we face an uphill battle. Any support received is greatly appreciated by the nsif team and the scientists alike; from completing fundraising challenges, making donations or sharing our updates on social media. Funds raised go towards the research. We hope that one day a treatment will be available for those that have suffered, or will suffer, a spinal cord injury.
