Story

We appreciate your donations big or small!

This club/community/family transforms the lives of blind and visually impaired Veterans, providing opportunity for them to take part in indoor snow slope sessions and attend a week long trip to Italy to gain confidence and freedom on the snow under experienced guides.

As a Ski Club we have been taking Visually Impaired Veterans Skiing for over 45 years. All our Visually Impaired Veterans are registered Blind and their type of blindness is varied from what a sighted person would see as blurred to zero visibility. As a ski club we can cater for all types of snow sport and have recently had one of our visually impaired members achieve his Snowboard Instructor Qualification.

This club forms a key part of their rehabilitation as the vision impaired veterans help to organise and run the annual trip at their own personal cost. This builds up their independence where they budget, set up travel arrangements and build confidence which improves their standard of living.
