Quad-Rebuild was founded by Joseph English in 2017. Whilst rehabilitating at The Princess Royal Spinal Injury Unit, Joseph, like many people in the UK, experienced a very difficult rehabilitation programme. Laying in a hospital bed day after day, feeling frustrated and helpless, Joseph began to form the idea of providing acute mentoring to support inpatients. After getting to know his fellow inpatients, it became apparent that there were many individuals in the unenvious position of waiting for either social housing, or to be moved into a care home, solely due to lack of funds to adapt their own homes or the timescales imposed by their local authority. Although Joseph had his own challenges to adapt to, he couldn’t shake the desire to make a difference to the people he had met in rehab. Seeing how many people were struggling to come to terms with their new appearance and sense of individuality helped Joseph form the third tenet of Quad-Rebuilds motto: Rebuilding Your Image.
To rebuild the lives of anyone affected by a spinal injury, or who is reconciling with life in a chair, and their families. We do this by promoting social awareness of spinal injuries, offering mentoring, home adaptions, companionship, and rebuilding confidence around self-image.
At Quad Rebuild, we create a bespoke rehabilitation plan tailored to your needs. For this next chapter in your life assisting you, supporting you and advising you on what to expect is our priority.
During his rehabilitation, Joseph began to appreciate the impact self image and confidence had on his mental health. Something simple like a hair cut, a shave or a favourite outfit can really help with self acceptance and coming to terms with your injury.
A life changing event such as a spinal injury not only requires the individual to make adaptions to their lifestyles, but their families also. If your loved one has been affected by a spinal injury, Quad-Rebuild is here not only to offer an understanding and experienced shoulder, but also practical support such as financial assistance to help with travel or accommodation costs while your loved one is in hospital.
We aim to reduce the time people spend in rehabilitation by adapting their homes to support their new requirements. With our core network of building specialists we can ensure that despite their challenges, our service users can retain as much independence as possible. We also understand the vital importance of safeguarding mental health, and endeavour to connect those struggling with their emotional wellbeing to individuals who can offer companionship and help them build their confidence.
Coming from a background in construction led Joseph to realise how he could support people to remain in their comfort zones by helping to adapt their homes with grants and specialised equipment. Enabling people to move freely around their home, independently, is a key step to improving their mental health.
Assisting you with the move from rehabilitation back into your home, and improving your confidence to live as independently as possible is a huge part of your transition back in to society and fundamental to beginning your new life.
