Why fundraising is important for the running of DSUK's activities
Our work is completely funded by donations and fundraising activities – we rely on supporters like you to make our work possible. Please help us by getting involved with or organising an event or simply making a one-off donation as we seek to make snowsports available to everyone with any ability.
Here are a few examples of how your fundraising can help the disabled community:
- £40 pays for a one-hour ski lesson
- £100 pays for 3 ski helmets
- £250 pays for 2 quick releases for a sit-ski
- £500 pays for 5 sets of skis and boots, or covers the costs of a volunteer helper accompanying a group overseas
- £1000 pays for the training and qualifications of an adaptive ski instructor
- £2500 pays for a sit-ski
- £5000 pays the running of 2 sets of a training week for 24 volunteer helpers
