Get Involved With The Armed Forces Para-Snowsport Team
Experience the exhilarating freedom of adaptive snow sports. Let us inspire you, so you can inspire others.
The AFPST is primarily funded through the generosity, effort, and commitment of our community, partners, and supporters. Our funding model reflects the resilience and resourcefulness of our organisation, but also highlights key areas where long-term sustainability could be strengthened.
The kind donations and support we receive from our donors make a life changing impact on all our beneficiaries, but also on you. You become embodied in our snow family and the power of positivity, inspiration and sense of purpose is overwhelming and changes your organisations perception of what is possible and drives positive change in outlook and behaviours.
Return on Investment: Measured in Moments
At AFPST, we believe the most powerful return on investment isn’t numerical it’s personal and its real. It’s found in the quiet confidence of someone stepping back onto the snow for the first time after injury. In the laughter shared at the base of a mountain after a breakthrough run. In the stillness of someone finally able to breathe again, not from exhaustion but from relief.
That said the numbers stack up well too! When talking numbers, we more than double the value of every pound donated, and when looking at moments, well these are priceless.
“Investment doesn’t fund the AFPST programme – it strengthens a lifeline that has repeatedly proven to be the decisive factor between struggle and triumph”
Rebecca Foran-Coutts, Alpine Skier
By backing our beneficiaries and becoming a part of our Snow Family, you’ll help deliver the remarkable impact AFPST makes as we break boundaries, challenge perceptions, and transform lives. Join us in embracing the spirit of challenge, building lasting connections within our snow family, and inspiring change and innovation within your organisation.
“AFPST’’ work is tangible, transformational, and worth every penny of support. Our partnership isn’t just a donation it’s an investment in lives regained and futures rebuilt.”
“We have not only supported AFPST for over a decade, we have become part of their show family. Together we are committed to changing lives with them, and have seen first hand the power and impact it makes. We don’t just see Athletes progress—we see people reclaiming who they are.”
Fundraising Challenges and Events
Our beneficiaries, coaches, staff and even supporters often go above and beyond, pushing boundaries and raising vital funds. From kayaking the length of the UK, from Lands End to John O Groats and ascending tricky trails to Everest base camp.
Between December 2024 and September 2025, members of AFPST embarked on a series of 5 challenges across Europe that pushed us to our limits once again! Cross country ski marathons, challenging mountain accents and long distance cycle rides.
