The Charity facilitated a ski therapy trip to Chamonix, France. The aim of the trip is to continue the recovery of wounded, injured or sick Royal Marines in a challenging environment.
This is achieved by participating in various snow sports to learn or develop their skiing or boarding to assist their recovery, all with the guidance of instructors.
This was the third visit to Chamonix, following a recce and inaugural event in 2019, Covid then delayed any further trips till 2022. Luckily, the French government relaxed their entry

Royal Marines Association
Winter Deployment
Five years ago, the Royal Marines Club, a branch of RMA, introduced a ‘Winter Deployment’ for our wounded and injured Royal Marines and their families by offering a respite break.
After three previous successful outings to Norway, we were forced
to cancel this much-awaited annual trip in 2020 because of strict Covid regulations impacting overseas travel.
In December 2021, uncertainty around the situation remained a concern and, so as not to miss yet another year, the RM Club and the Charity decided to take those families selected to Fort William in Scotland for six days of relaxation and winter-themed fun.
“ A fantastic time was had by all — friendships were made & renewed.”
