general The Nicholls Spinal Injury Foundation

The Nicholls Spinal Injury Foundation

Motivation

The charity is led by world-renowned chef, David Nicholls, whose family encounter with spinal injury has driven this opportunity for funding research to enable patients with spinal injury to walk again.

David is the Executive Chef and Director of Food and Beverage at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park. He is a world-renowned chef and has enjoyed a successful and varied career, being the youngest ever recipient of a Michelin star at the age of twenty-two.

In 2003, David's 19 year old son was enjoying a gap year in Australia when a freak swimming accident led to him being paralysed from the arms down. With little movement in his hands, he is termed tetraplegic and has received significant care at Stoke Mandeville hospital.

Mission

The Foundation is dedicated to raising funds to further 3 primary objectives. Its unambiguous remit is to fund a chosen few substantial medical projects which promise significant advance in these areas.

  • Expand spinal injury research and development
  • Encourage stem-cell research and surgery
  • Promote post-cure rehabilitation for spinal injury patients

Regrettably, the Foundation cannot support grant applications for individuals.

Structure

The Foundation is run by a small group of committed, hands-on trustees who devote their personal time to managing and administering the Foundation's activities.

It buys in a limited level of professional administrative and fundraising support and has no office base, operating instead from Trustees' and staff's personal office bases to help minimise administrative costs.
