We decided that despite it being somewhat un-spring-like to give the magazine a bit of a revamp anyway.

It is hoped that from the outset you find it an interesting and stimulating read and may even spur you to either write something yourself or at least suggest something you think we ought to cover.

In this new-look edition we cover topics as diverse as:

• The portrayal of people with spinal cord injury ITV and film
• The exploits of the UK’s only paraplegic motor cycle racer, Kerr Douglas
• Holiday ideas in Hong Kong and Lanzarote
• Scott Breslin’s story of getting back to study following a high-level SCI

We do hope that you enjoy your Newsline.

As always, we are always looking for input for the magazine. If you have any suggestions for articles or you want to write an article yourself, please contact andy@sisonline.org

Did you know that there is a representative available for you to speak to at all of the outreach clinics that the liaison sisters attend?

These clinics are Aberdeen, Inverness, Arbroath, Dumfries and the Borders.

At each of these clinics held throughout the year there is a representative from SIS there for you to speak to, to answer any questions about the charity or in general about living with a spinal injury.

We are not there to rope you in as a member, we are there to offer our services to you and if you choose to sign up as a member all good and well as membership is free.

We are approachable so come and have a chat with us at any clinic.

If you are not sure when the next clinic is in your area, have a look on the main website here.
