More information
Back Up was founded in 1986 by Mike Nemesvary, a tetraplegic and former British and European Freestyle Champion and James Bond stunt double, whose life was devastated after he broke his neck during a workout on a trampoline in the mid 1980’s. Despite being paralysed from the shoulders down, he was determined to get back to the life he enjoyed. Back Up is for everyone affected by spinal cord injury, regardless of age, level of injury, or background. We are here for family members too. Our services include mentoring, wheelchair skills training and activity courses as well as support in getting back to work or school after an injury. All our services help to build confidence and independence.
