Typhoo - Sports for all

Please click here for more information about how the courses are going

Ty.phoo has teamed up with the Federation of Disability Sport to develop the Ty.phoo Sports for All project. We believe that everyone who has a passion for sport should have a chance to get involved, regardless of their ability.

Together we know we can make a real difference to thousands of disabled people.

So, this year, every pack of Ty.phoo you buy will help the Federation of Disability Sport train at least an additional 500 community-based sports coaches across the United Kingdom. This project will open up local sport clubs, leisure centres and fitness facilities to everyone.

By training community sports coaches, the project aims to give them the confidence and skills to work with disabled people. This will mean that the activities and services provided are more inclusive for people of all abilities.




	Take a look at the beautiful display of teapots that we had designed by well known celebrities including Sir Geoff Hurst, Lesley Waters, Lucy Pinder and Mr Motivator to name but a few! These bespoke celebriteapots were recently auctioned to raise money for our Sports For All campaign in collaboration with the Federation of Disability Sport charity. Sebastian Conran’s teapot was snapped up for a whopping £5000 and in total we raised over £6500. Thanks to everyone who bid and we hope the winners enjoy sipping a refreshing cuppa Typhoo brewed up in your unique teapot.
