 Poster: A snowHead
|
As you will no doubt be aware Sports facilities across the UK are now closed due to Covid19. This means that Disability Snowsport UK are not currently able to deliver snowsports lessons to people with disabilities, they have also had to cancel a number of late season trips. The charity therefore faces a significant reduction in its income as a result. They are also faced with the cancellation or postponements of various fundraising events (including larger events such as the London Marathon). Despite this they are trying to do what they can to engage with members remotely to help them cope with isolation.
DSUK have launched an appeal to help their snowsports schools survive the lockdown, and if anyone can contribute any amount, no matter how small, I'm sure it would be very gratefully recieved.
There are individual fundraisers for each of the locations, and you can read more about the background to the appeal, and donate, using the links below.

I realise that not everyone will be able to help at the moment, but if you can that would be great. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
[It would be great if you mentioned snowheads when donating too!]
[In the interests of full disclosure, my interest in this is that I do some volunteering and a little instructing with DSUK Hemel, and I have a disabled son]
