We brought winter to the British summertime yesterday as AFPST volunteers and athletes helped deliver a winter component to a multiāsport celebration that united cricket, hockey, tennis and squash with the unexpected AFPST twist of summer biathlon.
We are incredibly grateful to our wonderful hosts, and , who brought all these sports together with one clear purpose: bringing people, sport and fundraising into one shared space. Their energy and hospitality set the tone for a fantastic day. A special thankāyou to Scan Associates, who led the initiative and helped create an event that was not only fun for everyone involved but also raised a significant amount for AFPST. Their support makes a real difference to the work we do.
With our laser r***e range and SkiErg stations running all day, visitors of every age had the chance to experience the focus, discipline and determination that define biathlon. For many, it was their first time trying a winter sport and the smiles, competitive spirit and āone more goā moments said everything.
Most importantly, the event showcased what AFPST stands for: opportunity, inclusion, and the power of sport to rebuild confidence and community within the serving and veteran wounded, injured and sick population.
Our incredible AFPST volunteers and athletes were at the heart of it all, coaching, encouraging, demonstrating, sharing their lived experience of recovery through snowsport, as well as selling a lot of raffle tickets! Their energy turned a sunny British day into a winterāsport playground, and the response from those that attended was super.
Thanks to for partnering to help deliver this event on
