How can we help?

The Scottish Spina Bifida Association is the only Scottish charity which offers support, advice and assistance to people with spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus, their families, carers and associated professionals. We provide a lo-call telephone number which means you will only be charged the local call rate. Both home or hospital visits may be arranged. A Support Worker will be available between the hours of 9.30am - 4pm Monday to Friday. At other times please leave a message on the answering machine and all messages will be responded to.
