Welcome to the New Zealand Spinal Trust's website for everyone with
spinal cord injuries, their families, friends, caregivers and health
professionals.
We believe that independent living is the ultimate goal of
rehabilitation, and our mission is to make sure you have all the
information, resources and support you need to make that possible.

The Ben Lei'a Appeal:
|
Ben broke his neck playing rugby in Samoa earlier this year and the NZ Spinal Trust is collecting consumables, equipment and money to send over to Samoa (thank you NZ Air Force!!) to support Ben and his family there. (More details about Ben here...)
