“As a small niche charity with limited resources, going through a cost-of-living crisis, our survival continues to be a challenge,” said the CEO of Disability Snowsport UK, Virginia Anderson.

“That’s why we’re extremely grateful of the phenomenal support shown to us by the wider snowsports community, who have been incredibly generous in donating such a variety of fantastic prizes.

“By launch The Big Winter Prize draw, our aim is to spread the joy of skiing and snowboarding to as many children and adults living in the UK, with disabilities and life changing injuries, as possible.

“Tickets cost just £10 to enter, and that £10 could help pay for slope fees at one of our outdoor dry ski slopes.”

– £25 could help DSUK make an adaptive snowsport lesson more affordable by providing a direct subsidy for a disabled skier.

– £50 could pay for an adaptive snowsport instructor to provide a four-hour lesson in the Scottish Highlands.

– £100 could purchase a Bluetooth communications device and high-vis jackets to help our highly qualified instructors.
