The Annual SWV Veterans Ski Week · 9 March 2020 to 14 March 2020 ·

In March 2020 SWV will be taking 26 medically discharged Veterans to Switzerland. With the help of specialist adaptive ski instructors, buddies, medics and support teams this will be the start of their rehabilitation back into employment.

Story

  •  In 2020 I am raising money and working with veterans on a ski based development programme for the charity Supporting Wounded Veterans.
  • This is a UK based charity that supports veterans who were physically wounded or injured during their time in service, or suffered PTSD as a result of their service.  The veterans are battling with both physical and mental injuries that have proved life-changing and, in many cases, shattering.
    Supporting Wounded Veterans help veterans rebuild their futures through a unique, specially designed, ski-based development programme. Every year they provide a carefully selected group of medically discharged military personnel with seven days “skihabilitation” in the Swiss resort of Klosters, which enables them to regain their confidence and embark up a new path to fitness and wellbeing.
    Once back in the UK, the veterans join a mentoring and job-finding programme that supports them into re-training and employment.  Our ultimate aim is to help veterans re-integrate into society, ensuring long-term stability for themselves and their families. 
  • The total cost per veteran from the initial ski based development programme to the ongoing programme of mentoring, pain management and employment advice is £14,200.
  • Please help me raise funds to support these amazing veterans and give them a helping hand to rebuild their futures.
