Since 2001

Back Up Trust

Since 2001 we have been involved with The Back-Up Trust – a charity that encourages people with spinal cord injuries to participate in active personal challenges such as Skiing in order to help build confidence, motivation and independence following a life changing injury.

Since 2018

Snow Camp

Since 2018 we have been involved with Snow Camp, a charity that engages young people through skiing and snowboarding to provide life skills training and mental health support, while enabling them to gain qualifications and employment in the Snowsports industry and beyond.

We have now sponsored 8 teenagers who have all been on a journey from rarely having left their inner city environment to completing the full Snow Camp training course.

Typically, the young people who are supported in this way then stay actively involved as volunteers in snow camps Youth Forum, or go on to apply to become one of their 5 snow sports apprentices each year.
