I was due to take part in this magnificent event last year but frustratingly broke my ankle skiing in early January so was out for the rest of the winter I am thrilled I am now ski fit and will be carrying out my buddy duties this March and having just returned from the Alps can confirm the ankle is in full working order Any offer of support no matter how small would be wonderful and a fabulous boost to this incredible charity.

Supporting Wounded Veterans helps wounded veterans regain their independence through skiing. Since 2012, SWV has helped hundreds of veterans back into meaningful employment or occupation.

In March 2025, 25 veterans will take to the slopes to build their confidence and restore their self-belief. With challenge and camaraderie they are empowered to successfully transition to civilian life.

I will be joining the SWV team as Ski Buddy, supporting the veterans throughout the week.

On their return home, veterans are supported by a mentor and the SWV employment, training and occupation team to consider and plan their professional and personal goals outside of military life.
