  • DSUK are working to remove barriers to physical activity based social prescribing, and are working across the country to ensure that anyone with a disability, may it be learning, sensory or physical, can ski or snowboard alongside other people. They are currently working with both schools and social prescribing services to make accessible Snowsport available to children across the country, particularly exploring how accessible Snowsport can transform someone’s relationship with their disability, which may have wider mental health and wellbeing benefits.
