Back-Up Trust

The charity was founded in 1986 and was initially set up to offer ski courses for those affected by spinal cord injury. In 1988, it formed a partnership with The Calvert Trust and began to expand its courses to challenge and empower people to get 'back up' to a place they were at before their accident. By 2010 the charity was involved in adventure holidays for people with spinal cord injuries.^[1] The charity is involved with wheelchair skills training.^[2]

In 2003 the charity joined up with five other spinal cord injury organisations in the UK to launch the Spinal Injuries Together (SIT) initiative.^[3] In 2017 the charity reported an annual income of £1.6 million.^[4]
