About Us
We are ParalympicsGB. As the National Paralympic Committee (NPC) for Great Britain, it is our responsibility to select, prepare, enter, fund and manage the Great Britain and Northern Ireland team at the Paralympic Games.
In what are extremely challenging times globally, Championing Change, our 2022-32 strategy, looks to set a long-term direction for ParalympicsGB. It both reflects on the near-term challenges and pressures and looks further ahead, setting ambitions for a ten-year period.
Thinking beyond the four-year Paralympic cycle allows us to raise our ambitions as a world-leading Paralympic team and as a force for change for disabled people across the UK. London 2012 kindled a passion for disability sport and demonstrated the power of the Paralympics to inspire a shift in perceptions of disability and ability. This strategy builds on that through the continued success of ParalympicsGB and by delivering real and sustainable improvements to the lives of disabled people across the UK over the next ten years. This is epitomised by our Equal Play Campaign. Download our Strategy, Championing Change, or find out more on our website
