The directors shall from time to time determine the objects of the charity, in particular through provision of targeted services that:1) further rehabilitate and encourage independence of such individuals;2) promote their reintegration within society; 3) promote education and awareness within society of issues relevant to spinal cord injury or related non-congenital diseases or injuries; and4) support family members and those affected by spinal cord injury regarding their emotional health and welfare needs which arise from the spinal cord disease or injury.

**Activities:** Back Up is a national charity that has helped thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds rebuild their confidence and independence following a devastating spinal cord injury (SCI). Our rehabilitative services are run by people with SCI. We believe SCI should not prevent anyone from fulfilling their potential. Our services inspire people to look forward to a more positive future.
