THE QUAD-REBUILD STORY
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-Rebuild's motto: Rebuilding Your Image.
