NATIONAL PARALYMPIC HERITAGE TRUST

Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos

Overview

The National Paralympic Heritage Trust was established in July 2015 to protect and share British Paralympic Heritage. “We exist to enlighten and inspire future generations by celebrating, cherishing and bringing the Paralympic heritage and its stories of human endeavour to life”. Over the next 5 years we aim to establish: - An archive and collection of national and international importance and interest that will be recorded, accessioned, conserved, stored and respected globally. - A website that enables people access to this unique and inspiring resource alongside the ability to share their own stories. - A Heritage Centre at Stoke Mandeville Stadium, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire and regional hub exhibitions telling local stories. - A series of small touring exhibitions supporting sporting and heritage events across Britain. - A creative learning and participation programme.
