Hi I’m Rich, your support coordinator.

I sustained a C6 spinal cord injury following a sporting accident, which affects my mobility and sensation from the chest down. I’ve lived with tetraplegia and as a wheelchair user since 2012.

If you’ve recently become injured, already living with a spinal cord injury, or are close to someone who is, you’re in the right place.

Book an appointment with me here and I can refer you to the most suitable services available locally and nationally and offer my insight and experience into life with a spinal cord injury.

Just choose an available slot below and I look forward to speaking with you soon.
