Charities

At Gartec, we are dedicated to enhancing accessibility through our platform lift solutions and by collaborating with charities and committed communities. Our partnerships are driven by a desire to create inclusive environments for everyone. We focus on doing what’s right, being easy to work with, and always aiming to exceed expectations.

The Disability Confident Scheme

We are proud to be a Disability Confident Employer, officially recognised as part of the UK government’s national Disability Confident scheme. This accreditation reflects our commitment to breaking down barriers and creating an inclusive workplace where everyone can work comfortably.

The Disability Confident scheme supports businesses in recruiting, retaining, and developing disabled people and those with long-term health conditions. As a participant, we actively challenge attitudes towards disability, promote equal opportunities, and build practices that make a tangible difference for both candidates and employees.

Gartec’s Partnership with the National Paralympic Heritage Trust (NPHT)

We are proud to announce this collaboration with the National Paralympic Heritage Trust (NPHT), which underscores our commitment to inclusivity in our products and within our own workplace. The NPHT is dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of the British Paralympic movement, inspiring future generations with stories of determination, courage, and equality.

About Our DICE Club Membership

As part of this partnership, Gartec has joined the NPHT’s DICE Club – an initiative built around the four Paralympic virtues: determination, inspiration, courage, and equality. DICE Club encourages businesses to embrace these values and work towards greater inclusivity, particularly through the government’s Disability Confident Scheme.

Impact of the Partnership and Future Goals

The broader aim of this partnership is to encourage businesses to take concrete steps towards inclusivity, particularly by participating in the Disability Confident Scheme. By fostering a culture that values determination, inspiration, courage, and equality, we believe that businesses can collectively create more opportunities and support for disabled people.

We encourage other businesses to join this initiative, as the impact is amplified when more organisations commit to these principles. Companies interested in making a difference can learn more and get involved through Buckinghamshire Business First.
