About Snow Sports Foundation
The Snow Sports Foundation (SSF) generates funds to promote and deliver snow sports opportunities, either individually or in groups from schools, to a range of people with additional needs, disabilities, financial hardship or social circumstances.
Snow Sports Foundation Description
The Snow Sports Foundation gives people with additional needs and disabilities the opportunity to develop their life and social skills through the power of snow sports.
The benefits that this funding delivers are:
The recognised improvement of a student’s social skills, such as concentration, fitness levels, listening, motivation, motor skills, self-confidence, social interaction and their ability to communicate.
The promotion of social inclusion for people with additional needs as, in most scenarios, they find it difficult to mix easily with others.
The education to families, as well as local and international communities, to fight the stigma associated with additional needs and disabilities.
The link with education and snow sports, resulting in increased social skills within a school environment.
Making the identification and management of additional needs by families a positive and beneficial experience.
The promotion of participation in a healthy recreation.
The development of a student’s natural abilities in a physical and mentally-challenging sport.
A positive impact on people’s lives.
