Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit The British Disabled Ski Teams JustGiving page. If you thought London 2012 was exciting, wait for Sochi 2014 - the next big Games!

We are hosting a drinks reception at Aura Mayfair on the 2nd November between 7-10pm to raise money for the team. Canapes and one free drink on arrival.

Tickets are £10 here (online) or £15 on the door, but please feel free to donate more if you feel generous, every penny counts towards our training costs! Please leave full names of all the people attending you are purchasing tickets for so they can go on the guest list. Thank you.

Last winter we won plenty of medals for Great Britain. The Team is made up of around 16 athletes between World Cup, Europa Cup, Development and Youth Teams and we are all working hard to win medals in the next Paralympics, Sochi 2014.

However, we can't do so without sponsorship.

It costs over £103,000 each year to run the team (for one coach and a van). Because of the lack of funding, each athlete contributes to help cover team costs as well as paying their own training and racing expenses. Your generosity makes a big difference.

We hope you will show your support for the Team and wish us luck for the forthcoming season. We look forward to meeting you!
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Please dig deep and support the British Disabled Ski Team now!
