Welcome to our new look, bright and shiny, winter issue of Forward!

The magazine has had a spruce up just in time for the festive season and we hope you’ll love its gorgeous contemporary design as much as we do.  As always, you’ll find a mix of the latest news, research, advice, and real-life stories from across our community.
Dancing takes centre stage as our support network volunteer Peta Barratt shares why wheelchair dance brings her so much joy – find out how you can get involved.

Britain’s Got Talent stuntman Jonathan Goodwin and actor Amanda Abbington sit down for an exclusive interview to discuss their new roles as our ambassadors.

Real-life stories: Meet Efena Otobo who looks at the experience of Christmas following a spinal cord injury (SCI), and Stephen Lightbown, SCI poet, yogi and surfer, as he shares how pursuing his interests has changed his relationship with his SCI.

With campaigns at the heart of our new strategy, we’re delighted to introduce Dharshana Sridhar and Glyn Hayes the brilliant new people behind our campaigns team.
