Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. We are volunteering on a 10 day trip to Austria, helping the Jumbulance team hit the slopes! This JustGiving page has been set up to continue our fundraising efforts with the view to fund future adventures and trips in the UK and worldwide. 

A little bit about us:
Rocio Lozano and Charlie Simon who are both technical co-ordinators at Shanly Homes are being sponsored to volunteer with The Jumbulance Trust, a national travel charity which provides holidays and trips for those with disabilities and serious illnesses.

Our once in a lifetime trip:
Leaving on the 27th January, Rocio & Charlie will hit the slopes with nine participants, their carers, nurses and special instructors, for a fun-filled active week of assisted skiing.

They will travel with the group to Niederau in Austria with Jumbulance’s state-of-the-art accessible coach, which has been equipped to maximise comfort for disabled and severely ill passengers who cannot fly.

Rocio says:
“This is my first volunteering experience and I’m incredibly excited for the trip,” says Rocio. “I love skiing and am so pleased to be enjoying the activities with people with limited mobility, who may never have done the sport before.”

Charlie says:
“Everyone should have the opportunity to experience skiing,” added Charlie. “I’m happy to be helping and making everyone’s holiday easier and more enjoyable. I’ve never been to Austria before, let alone skied there!”
