Mark Allen - Trustee

After a serious car accident in March 2018, Mark found himself in the unfortunate position of being left tetraplegic with a permanent tracheostomy as a result of a high-level Spinal Cord Injury.  After 17 months in the Spinal Injuries Unit of the QEUH, Glasgow, Mark was discharged and returned home to a whole new life with a 24/7 care package.

Whilst in hospital Mark benefited greatly from the many services that Spinal Injuries Scotland provide, especially the peer-to-peer support.  Therefore, it was not a difficult decision to apply as a Trustee on the Board of Directors for the Spinal Injuries Scotland Charity in December 2020.  Mark felt he could put his previous business and Board experience to good use including his contacts to focus on attracting additional funding, donations and sponsorship to assist the continuing services and support to those with a Spinal Cord Injury and their families that the Spinal Injuries Scotland charity provides.


Patrick Cairney - Trustee

Having retired in 2018 after over 15 years in the Enterprise Network in Glasgow I am delighted to now dedicate my time to working as a Trustee of Spinal Injuries Scotland, drawing on and sharing my experiences to further promote the aims and objectives of the charity
