The Mental Health Charter for Sport and Recreation was developed in 2015 by the Sport and Recreation Alliance, Professional Players Federation and Mind.

It aims to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for sport participation and encourages people to talk about mental health and support others.

By signing the charter, GB Snowsport committed to promoting wellbeing and adopting good mental health policies. 

It is also set to be a key voice in promoting positive messages using diverse role models and ambassadors from the world of snowsport.

"We are delighted to welcome GB Snowsport as the newest signatories of the Mental Health Charter," said Lisa Wainwright, Sport and Recreational Alliance chief executive. 

"One in four of us will experience a mental health problem every year. 

"Yet, it is still something people are worried to talk about or ask for help. 

"This must change and physical activity can play a massive part. 

"We know that being physically active can help mental wellbeing and by signing up to the Charter, GB Snowsport have demonstrated a commitment to playing their part in moving the conversation forward and adopting best practice."

As well as following the best practice guidelines, GB Snowsport announced a new campaign called "Be Brave."

Athletes, staff and stakeholders will be encouraged to "be brave and talk, be brave and listen and be brave and act."

"There are over 280 organisations signed-up to the charter creating and sharing new ideas and best practice," said GB Snowsport chief executive Vicky Gosling.

"Our vision is to be in the top five snowsport nations in the world by 2030 and we must deliver the best possible support to make sure our athletes can perform at their peak and that means looking after their mental well-being as well as that of everyone involved with our sport.

"We’re proud to be one of the organisations who have joined this great initiative and are committed to taking positive action around positive mental health and physical activity. 

"Be Brave" will be a call to arms for everyone to ensure that they know they have personal support and are armed with the skills to help those in need of assistance, to listen to their concerns and in act in their defence."
