At Snow Camp, we are continually inspired by the amazing people who go above and beyond to support our work. From daring ski challenges and mountain treks, to ski cimena nights, boxing evenings, evenings with celebrities and community events. Every fundraiser brings us closer to giving more young people the opportunity to experience the power of snow sports.
This page is dedicated to you – the individuals, teams and champions who fundraise for Snow Camp. Whether you’ve already hit the slopes or are thinking about getting involved, thank you. Your passion fuels our mission.

Yorkshire 3 Peaks completed by two young legends
Ruben (9) and Ollie (8) might just be our youngest fundraising heroes to date – but they’ve already done something huge for the Snow Camp community.
Alongside their mum and dad, these two up-and-coming freestyle and race athletes completed the Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge, raising over £300 for our work with young people.
Despite wet and windy conditions, Ruben and Ollie pushed through every climb and descent with determination – and a few giggles along the way.
That £300 will help three young people get their first-ever experience on the snow this summer. A powerful reminder that no matter your age, you can make a difference.
Thank you, Ruben and Ollie.
Hosted at the stunning Goodwood Estate with the generous support of the Duke of Richmond, Ned’s Fund brought together supporters for an unforgettable evening with BBC Security Correspondent Frank Gardner.
Frank’s story is one of resilience, courage and inspiration. In 2004, he survived a terrorist attack that left him paralysed. He returned to reporting, was awarded an OBE, and has since authored five bestselling books – all while remaining a keen skier and nature photographer.
As a valued Snow Camp ambassador, Frank’s presence on the evening was incredibly meaningful.
Ned’s Fund has supported Snow Camp since 2019, and this years event raised over £7000 to support Snow Camp youg people
Thank you to everyone who attended the event and continues to honour Ned’s memory through opportunities for the next generation.
Back in 2003, a young Marcus joined the very first Snow Camp residential trip. That trip would change the course of his life.
Now, 20 years later, Marcus is stepping back into the ring – literally – for Snow Camp.
Marcus took part in a fundraising boxing match to support young people just like he once was. His motivation is simple and powerful:
“If I help even two or three inner-city young people to access snow sports with Snow Camp, then I’ll be happy.”
His story is a full-circle moment, showing the long-term impact of our programmes – and the incredible spirit of our alumni community.
You can watch a video of young Marcus from 2003, sharing his hopes ahead of that first trip to the mountains – a beautiful reminder of how far a single opportunity can take someone.
Thank you, Marcus. We’re all in your corner.
What does it take to cycle over 560 miles through Brittany, tackle daily climbs of over 3,000m, and keep smiling all the way? Ask Matt, Chris, Simon and Joe from the True North Team – long-time supporters of Snow Camp who recently took on an epic multi-day cycling challenge.
Joined by over 200 fellow riders, the team chose Snow Camp as one of three charities close to their hearts. Driven by purpose and passion, their journey wasn’t just about physical endurance – it was about giving back.
These four legends know our programmes inside out. They’ve seen firsthand how snow sports transform lives – and they weren’t afraid to put their legs to the test to support our young people.
Friends and family gathered to honour the life of Jack “Ricky” Rickerd – a passionate skier whose adventurous spirit touched so many. Ricky tragically passed away in March after a serious ski injury while living his dream in the Canadian Rockies.
To remember and celebrate their beloved friend, Harry Fish and Joe Davey organised a 5-a-side football tournament. What started as a cloudy day quickly turned bright with community spirit, laughter and heartfelt moments.
Through their efforts, Harry and Joe raised over £8,800 to support Snow Camp’s life-changing work – an incredible tribute to Ricky’s memory.
“Planning and running this football tournament in memory of our great friend Jack was an honour,” shared Harry. “The amount raised passed all expectations. We are so appreciative of the love and support that came out of this event – and of the impact it will have for young people across the UK.”
To everyone who contributed, played, supported and celebrated – thank you for keeping Ricky’s spirit alive by helping young people carve their paths through snow sports.
One morning, Yasmin Pledger set off on an extraordinary 11-day journey, cycling the entire length of the UK – from Land’s End to John O’Groats – in support of Snow Camp.
Timed to coincide with Mental Health Awareness Week 2024, this challenge carries deeply personal meaning for Yas. She’s riding in memory of her cousin Joe, a much-loved snowsports instructor who truly lived and breathed the transformative power of the mountains. Joe sadly passed away, but his legacy continues through Yasmin’s passion and strength.
Over the past 18 months, Yasmin and her family have become phenomenal supporters of Snow Camp’s work, particularly around mental health and wellbeing – a pillar that runs through every level of our programmes.
Already, Yas has raised over £5,000, with her wider family contributing an incredible £8,000+ in Joe’s memory. Their combined total is having a transformational impact on Snow Camp’s young people across the country.
Yasmin’s journey is about so much more than miles on the road – it’s about creating space for healing, support and opportunity.
“I’m doing this for Joe – and for every young person out there who deserves to feel seen, supported and strong,” says Yas.
We are endlessly grateful, Yas. Your journey is already changing lives. And we’re all behind you.
