“Every single day Roni will not put on her shoes or coat when we need to leave the house, nor will she walk out the door without crying, screaming and having a tantrum. Except when we're going skiing; she puts them on immediately; no fuss, no crying, straight out the house. This is unheard of for us.” Shelley, mum to Roni

Welcome to the Snow Sports Foundation

The Snow Sports Foundation (SSF) raises funds to deliver snow sports opportunities to people with neurodiversity, additional needs, mental health challenges, disabilities, financial hardship and social or exceptional circumstances.

The snow sports lessons take place at indoor snow centres in the UK by specialist SEN snow sports providers. The person applying for funding chooses which provider they wish to use by stating it on the application form. The benefits to the student of learning to ski or snowboard on real snow enhances their social, emotional and communication skills, whilst improving their fitness, balance, concentration and ultimately, self-confidence.

Learning to ski or snowboard will not only benefit people in the development of their own life skills, it will ultimately enhance their family, school and social environments.

All of this is not possible without your help.
