Frank Williams Academy

Frank Williams Academy project transforming the lives of spinal cord injured people through education, training, research and development.

Frank Williams Academy · 14 March 2023 to 1 January 2026 ·

Every 2 hours, someone in the UK sustains a spinal cord injury. Their world – and that of their family – is turned upside-down. SIA aim to reach everyone affected by spinal cord injury, to connect them to all the help and support they need to life a fulfilled life.

Story

Frank Williams Academy, transforming the lives of spinal cord injured (SCI) people through education, training, research and development.

SCI is life-changing, but it needn’t be life-limiting. Frank Williams was paralysed in a car accident aged 44 but went on to become one of the most recognised and respected people in Formula 1. Many others paralysed by SCI, don’t get the chance to live a fulfilled life with hope, purpose and dignity. Frank knew that and supported us to change the situation.

By building the Frank Williams Academy around four principles, we can help everyone affected by spinal cord injury to rebuild their lives. These are:

• Healthcare professional training

• Patient education

• Research and development

• Policy and Practice

Each of these link to our 2030 strategy plans.
