Personskadeförbundet RTP

What Personskadeförbundet RTP does

Personskadeförbundet RTP is a Swedish non-profit membership organization founded in 1946 (originally as a polio association) that advocates for and supports people living with acquired injuries, including spinal cord injury, brain injury, amputation, neck injury, and polio/postpolio. The organization serves individuals across Sweden through approximately 40 local associations (lokalföreningar), producing a quarterly magazine Liv, running webinars, and distributing injury-prevention campaigns. Its core service offering is a peer coaching program (förebildscoacher) that connects members with trained coaches who have personal experience of similar injuries, complemented by legal guidance on Social Insurance Code, LSS, and related matters delivered through a partnership with JA - Juridisk Assistans.

The organization operates a small technology footprint of mainstream SaaS tools rather than proprietary systems: Mailchimp for newsletters, Google Analytics, Microsoft Teams for webinars, Microsoft Office Forms for registration, and a MemberCare-powered digital member portal (minsida.rtp.se) launched in 2025 for self-service membership management. It funds approximately 1 million SEK annually in research grants and partners with Sweden's National Highly Specialized Care (NHV) units, Trafikverket, and Socialstyrelsen on institutional and program initiatives.

Its revenue model is a hybrid of membership subscriptions (300 SEK individual / 360 SEK family per year), donations (including the Traffic Injury Fund and memorial gifts), and government and foundation grants. The organization is governed as an ideell förening (member-based nonprofit) under member-elected leadership, with Marina Carlsson as Förbundsordförande. It employs 9 staff at its Sundbyberg headquarters and operates exclusively within Sweden.

Direct peers

• Reumatikerförbundet: Swedish member-based association for people with rheumatic conditions, offering member magazine, peer support, and advocacy — highly analogous in membership-and-advocacy business model, even though the underlying condition differs from acquired injury.
• Spinalis (Stiftelsen Spinalis): Swedish foundation focused on spinal cord injury research and rehabilitation resources — directly serves an overlapping population (spinal cord injury survivors) with self-care and mobility guidance, and is already a formal partner to RTP.
• DHR (Riksförbundet för Rörelsehindrade): Swedish federation for people with mobility disabilities, operating through local associations and providing advocacy on rights and accessibility — overlaps with RTP's independence/living advocacy and benefits-navigation support.
• Neuro (Neuroförbundet): Swedish nationwide disability membership nonprofit providing peer support, advocacy, and legal guidance for people with neurological conditions — operates the same membership-based model with analogous acquired-condition coverage, peer coaching, and political advocacy mechanisms.
• HjärtLung: Swedish national heart and lung association offering member benefits, peer support, magazines, and policy advocacy for chronic-illness populations — mirrors RTP's membership model, magazine 'Liv,' and local chapter structure.
• Strokeförbundet: Swedish national stroke association supporting survivors of an acquired injury via peer support, member magazines, and local chapters — directly comparable in mission, member services, and acquired-injury focus to RTP's brain-injury cohort.
• Hjärnkraft: Swedish brain-injury advocacy and support nonprofit offering peer support and information for survivors of acquired brain injury — overlaps with RTP's brain-injury guidance directly and competes for similar advocacy positioning.

Regional players

• Spinal Injuries Association (UK): UK national charity for spinal cord-injured people delivering peer support, advocacy, and information — directly comparable in mission and service model to RTP, but operating in a separate geography with no direct competition.
• Humanity & Inclusion (HI): Large international disability and inclusion NGO covering rehabilitation, rights, and advocacy across acquired-injury populations — comparable thematic scope on disability services globally, but works in low/middle-income geographies rather than competing in Sweden.

Broad incumbents

• Funktionsrätt Sverige: Swedish umbrella organization for ~50 disability-rights member associations — broader in scope than RTP, but a key advocacy body that coordinates policy positions across disability organizations including comparable ones to RTP.
