Community / Charity

We actively support community programmes including training and development initiatives, education projects and local and national charities.

In addition to traditional full time apprenticeships, each year we offer a number of school placements.

Paul

With Pauls love of skiing, his two main charities are Back up and Snow Camp.We have also been a long standing supporter of Isabel Hospice.

Back Up Trust

Since 2001 we have been involved with The Back-Up Trust – a charity that encourages people with spinal cord injuries to participate in active personal challenges such as Skiing in order to help build confidence, motivation and independence following a life changing injury.

Snow Camp

Since 2018 we have been involved with Snow Camp, a charity that engages young people through skiing and snowboarding to provide life skills training and mental health support, while enabling them to gain qualifications and employment in the Snowsports industry and beyond.

We have now sponsored 3 teenagers Jack, Deenah & Paris who have all been on a journey from rarely having left their inner city environment to completing the full Snow Camp training course.

Typically, the young people who are supported in this way then stay actively involved as volunteers in snow camps Youth Forum, or go on to apply to become one of their 5 snow sports apprentices each year.

Ukrainian Host

With the dreadful events in Ukraine, Paul took in a Ukranian family in July 2022 consisting of grandmother, mother and daughter. They have all settled in to life well here with the daughter doing well at a local school and the grandmother teaching Ukrainian at a Saturday school. Having got engaged in November they moved out at the end of the year and we wish them all the best for their future.
