Simon, the organiser behind Disability Skiing Wales, brings players together on beaches or parks, offering a chance to enjoy good food and great company in a relaxed atmosphere. At year's end, the Christmas parties are a highlight, celebrating the festive season with everyone.
Simon also arranges residential weekends in UK ski resorts. These trips are perfect for skiing, socialising, and building connections within the club. It's a break from the routine, filled with the excitement of snow sports and a supportive environment.
These events are not just about fun; they help members grow personally. Participants enhance their confidence, fitness, and social skills while connecting with others who share similar experiences, fostering a tight-knit ski community.
Volunteers benefit too, improving their skiing and expanding their social circles. They play a crucial role in giving individuals with disabilities the chance to enjoy snow sports, making every moment on the slope memorable.
Disability Skiing Wales operates under a clear constitution, regularly reviewed to meet the needs of members and volunteers. The club welcomes individuals with various disabilities and ensures a conversation with new members before sessions to understand their needs and ensure safety.
Training is key, and Disability Skiing Wales offers comprehensive guidance, endorsed by Snow Sports Wales. Volunteers can earn accredited qualifications, strengthening their skills and enabling them to support the club. Training sessions are held on dry ski slopes, usually in the evenings or weekends, allowing volunteers to progress at their own pace.
Sponsors play a vital role in this mission, supporting accessible snow sports for all. For more information, session dates, and locations, visit the Disability Skiing Wales website or contact them directly. As a registered charity, every donation goes towards enhancing the lives of individuals with disabilities through snow sports.
