Snow Camp 2010 · 3 April 2010

Since 2003, Snow Camp have been using the power of snowsports to turn young lives around with the power of snowsports. Using a unique combination of skiing, snowboarding, life-skills, qualifications and vocational opportunities, young people feel empowered to pursue new & positive destinations.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Snow-Camp is a youth charity providing disadvantaged young people from London’s inner city areas with the chance to experience mountain sports.

In April 2010 Snow Camp will take 180 young people from inner city London to France for a week long life changing experience.

These young people some of whom may never have left England before will be taken out of their comfort zone and pushed to limits they never knew they could reach.

To enable this to happen 21 one people have given a week of their time to support these young people in this amazing opportunity.

For the volunteers to be able to attend they not only give up a week’s leave and time but they are also asked to fundraise for their position as well

“yeah but you get a week in the French alps” I hear you cry

THIS IS NO FREE WEEK OFF

As stated before these young people may have never left England let alone taken to the French alps with wither skis or a snowboard attached to them and over come so many challenges whilst away as volunteers we support these young people through them.... from home sickness, learning new skills to understanding the French language we are around and supporting young people all around the clock from Breakfast duty to staying up to ensure every last young person is in their room and sleeping we are there to support them.

And for this I ask you to support me

As I mentioned before we are asked to raise money for our own placement and therefore would love it if you could donate as much as you can to support me in doing this.

If you wish to find out more about snow camp please visit their web site snow-camp.co.uk. Snow camp is often looking for volunteers and supporters and of course a lot of this great work would not be possible without the financial support generated by fundraising if you feel you can help in any way shape or form please do get in contact via the website.

Please feel free to contact me for more information on 07852292687

Also feel free to pass this far and wide to anyone who may wish to support this amazing project.

Thanks you for your support

Louise
