Business Profile

Welcome As a registered charity we rely heavily on charitable donations to support our work. Only 10% of our income goes on administration costs, the rest goes straight to supporting our charitable objectives.

About Us In addition to our full time staff we have a Board who are Trustees of the Charity and are made up of representatives of our membership along with three Non-Executive Directors. They meet regularly to oversee the work of the organisation.

We are the British Paralympic Association, or the BPA. We are the British Paralympic Association, or the BPA. 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. This team is known as ParalympicsGB. ParalympicsGB has a proud track record of coming in the top three at the last four summer Games. For London we had two ambitions; to win more medals across more sports than in Beijing and to use the power of the home Games to shift perceptions of disability sport and disabled people. We are confident that we achieved those ambitions and are now working hard to ensure the momentum created by London 2012 affects real change and lasting improvement.

In line with our charitable objects, our vision for 2012 to 2017 is:

"Through sport, inspire a better world for disabled people"
and our mission is:

"To make the UK the leading nation in Paralympic sport..."
...On the field of play
...In support of athletes
...In our advocacy and influence
...In promotion of the Movement
...In supporting the development of grassroots participation and a world class sporting system

Our Members As the National Paralympic Committee (NPC) for Great Britain and Northern Ireland our members are organisations that represent all the summer and winter Paralympic sports and cover the pathway from grassroots to elite level, or are people who have been instrumental in the development of the BPA.
