# Rehabilitating Social Enterprises Aspire Ensures That Those with Spinal Injuries are Not Forgotten By Andrew Robertson | Published 2012-04-11 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aspire References: [clearlyso](http://www.clearlyso.com/company/1849/Aspire.html) & [aspire.org.uk](http://www.aspire.org.uk/home.aspx) Created to help those who have sustained spinal injuries, Aspire makes it possible for those who have been injured to learn how to support themselves in a changed environment. The team runs and funds a support center aimed at helping victims of spinal cord injuries lead fulfilling lives and to not be deterred by their impairment. On top of offering assistive technology, housing and independent living advisers, Aspire also runs campaigns aimed at improving the quality of care provided to those with spinal injuries. By taking a personal investment in those who require aid, the team is able to determine what areas need improvement and the amount of support needed to see those developments through. A spinal injury can mean the difference between life and death but it shouldn't be the difference between a life and just living. **Contact Information** Aspire [website](http://www.aspire.org.uk/) Aspire on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/AspireSCICharity) Aspire on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/#!/AspireCharity) Aspire on [YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/aspirescitv) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Assistive Technology for Spinal Injuries:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced assistive technologies to improve the quality of life for individuals with spinal injuries. - **Improved Quality of Care for Spinal Injuries:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative solutions to enhance the level of care and support provided to individuals with spinal cord injuries. - **Empowerment and Rehabilitation for Spinal Injury Victims:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement comprehensive programs and support centers to empower and rehabilitate individuals who have sustained spinal injuries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Healthcare and Medical Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore cutting-edge medical technologies and treatments for spinal injury rehabilitation. - **Assistive Devices and Accessibility Solutions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative assistive devices and accessibility solutions to enhance the independence and mobility of individuals with spinal injuries. - **Nonprofit and Social Welfare:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate and improve the nonprofit sector's approach to supporting and rehabilitating individuals with spinal cord injuries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Comprehensive Adaptive Sport Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/active-project.md) - [Adaptable Outdoor Adventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adaptive-sports-center.md) - [Inclusive Social Support Programmes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcr-social.md) - [Ability-Focused CSR Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ability-signs.md) - [AI-Enhanced Employment Accessibility](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enabled-talent.md) - [Accessible Mobility Rehabilitations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobility-rehabilitation.md) - [Inventive Charity Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spark-financial.md) - [Charity Health-Tech Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/helpster-charity.md) - [Empowering Nonprofit Organizations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disability-community.md)
