 Poster: A snowHead
|
was wondering if any of you guys can help been thinking of giving up some spare time to help out with any disabled ski activities that are in need of volunteers, i don't have any qualifications/coaching badges etc but am a very capable skier and think i have the skills necessary.
so am pretty much after some advice/links and other peoples experiences, any comments or feedback would be appreciated, i have emailed Hemel snow centre along these lines and am waiting for a response, am aware that mk has disabled events/programs running but Hemel would be ideal as this is my nearest slope and would make committing my time a lot easier for work and travel reasons

Swell, I don't think Hemel will be in a position to give you a firm reply at the moment. They are only just beginning to think about what kind of adaptive programme will be offered there. I'm in currently in the middle of a 5 day course for adaptive skiing and it's enjoyable, interesting and pretty tough!

Swell, there certainly seems to be a need for volunteers to assist based on what I've being doing in the last couple of days. The more pairs of hands the better!

Swell, if you are near Hemel we would love to see you!! We now have a programme up and running there both weekdays and weekends. We are trying to do lessons every second saturday but are not always getting that regular. Our next session will be next Saturday 5th Dec. We would love to see you there if you can be available at short notice.
Volunteer training will be provided.
If anyone is interested in volunteering to assist at Hemel then mail me at dworthington@tomichi.co.uk.
Cheers

FAQ
am basically looking to just help out and provide an extra pair of hands where needed, thought it might be a bit early for Hemel but surely its on there agenda and hopefully i will have got my name on the list so to speak. apologies for the daft questions but do any of you do similar volunteering without the need of badges and courses and the like, all i have to offer is the fact i can ski and spare few hours of my time and I'm willing, hopefully this would be a foot in the door initially, but like i say my finances and my mortgage limit me at the moment!
