As an independent service charity we are committed to transforming the lives of wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veteran beneficiaries through providing world leading adaptive snowsport programmes.

A Few Words From Our CEO – Andy Cox MBE

“Armed Forces Para-Snowsport Team – AFPST, matters to our wounded, injured, and sick military personnel and veterans. More than just a charity, it is a lifeline. Through the provision of competitive para winter sports and a close-knit, inclusive community, AFPST transforms lives and, in many cases, saves them. The structured discipline, challenge, and exhilaration of snowsport provide focus, purpose, and progression that is so often lost following life-changing injury or illness. The demanding, dynamic, and inspiring winter environment becomes a powerful backdrop for physical and psychological recovery.

Our adaptive snowsport programmes offer more than skill development; they build confidence, reinforce identity, and instil a renewed sense of self-belief.Participants are a member of ourSnow Family, reconnected to build camaraderie, resilience, and a goal orientated achievement culture. This catalyses broader transformation, whether returning to employment, re-engaging with family and society, or simply rediscovering the joy in life.

At its core, AFPST is about delivering world class high-performance opportunities on snow while cultivating a community that supports long-term recovery and personal growth. This community doesn’t just inspire change within individuals; it creates a ripple effect that challenges perceptions of disability, showcases capability, and highlights the power of sport in rehabilitation.

In short, AFPST delivers more than sport. It provides hope, purpose, and a pathway to help navigate life.”

“The Armed Forces Para-Snowsport Team matters in supporting recovery, and it is transformational in providing a platform to thrive beyond it.”

AFPST matters because long term recovery is about healing and transformation. It’s about rebuilding purpose, identity, and direction after a life-changing injury or illness. For wounded, injured, and sick service personnel and veterans, we provide a structured, proven pathway toward lasting change with this operational  focus;

• • • Community: A values-driven snow family of beneficiaries, coaches and staff to provide support and belonging on and off the snow.
    • Foundation: The backbone to our on-snow activities enabling physical and mental recovery.
    • Performance: High-level competitive opportunities that reignite identity, restore pride, and accelerate recovery.

To achieve our vision, AFPST will focus on achieving six key strategic objectives:

1. Pathway to Excellence. From first turns to the podium, we tailor snow sports to each beneficiaries recovery journey and beyond.
2. Partnership Power. Work nationally and internationally with other charities, rehabilitation programmes and global partners to share knowledge, extend our reach and maximise the impact of our resources.
3. Trust and Transparency. Lead the sector in governance, safeguarding and assurance to ensure that every activity we undertake is safe and accountable.
4. Sustainable Growth. Build long-term financial strength to secure AFPST for generations.
5. Innovation for Impact. Pioneer adaptive equipment, use data to make decisions and embrace sustainability to future proof the charity.
6. Lifelong Community. Create a snow family that supports beneficiaries over the long-term, not just for a season.
