At NPHT we invest a lot of effort in using our Paralympic collection items as the basis for educating people on disability issues and promoting diversity, equality and accessibility for all. After all, there’s no point in keeping our amazing sporting heritage in boxes.

We want to build partnerships with companies who share our vision of the future: one where everybody and every body has access to the same spaces, opportunities and experiences. We were all born human, so celebrate diversity and difference with us and ensure that disabled people are welcomed into your company as both employees and customers. NPHT is uniquely placed to be able to inspire you and your employees and challenge your understanding of disability, using our Paralympic heritage.
