• World Class Podium Programme - this programme supports athletes with realistic gold medal winning capabilities at the next Paralympic Games.
• World Class Podium Potential Programme - this programme supports athletes who's performances have suggested they have a realistic chance to qualify for 2024 but who are aiming for medal success in 2028 and beyond.
