SELEX Galileo raises £40,000 in support of Combined Services Disabled Ski Team

7 October 2011 – SELEX Galileo organised a charity dinner and auction which was held at Salters’ Hall, London on Thursday 6 October 2011 in support of the Combined Services Disabled Ski Team (CSDST).

The evening was attended by 130 guests from the Military, Industry, Athletes and Management of the CSDST, and was supported by Graham Bell, five-times Olympian, journalist, adventurer and lead anchor for BBC’s Ski Sunday. The evening was immensely successful and raised a staggering £40,000 for the CSDST charity.

CSDST was set up in 2008 to provide further rehabilitation routes for disabled service men and women, and to enable them to compete competitively with their able-bodied colleagues, reaching international levels should they qualify. The team currently has five members in Great Britain’s Paralympic Development Squad training for the 2014 Paralympics in Sochi, Russia.

David Claridge, Relationship Lead with the CSDST, said: “I am immensely proud of the team which delivered such a fantastic night on so many levels; this is such a deserving cause and everyone involved is so proud to be able to make a difference.”
