About The Spinal Unit Action Group
The Spinal Unit Action Group provides a residential setting for people with physical disabilities, within an organisation that also runs events and fundraising activity. Its registered role is assisted living and residential care without nursing.
The organisation’s public work includes a history of supporting people connected with spinal care, together with forthcoming events and ways to raise funds. The clearest supported focus is accommodation and practical care for people with physical disabilities. Specific therapies, facilities and clinical services are not established, so the service description remains centred on residential support and the organisation’s community dimension.

Questions families ask
How much does The Spinal Unit Action Group cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Spinal Unit Action Group for its weekly fee. As a guide, Sefton council paid on average £788 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask The Spinal Unit Action Group whether it takes residents funded by Sefton council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
