Pioneering Change : Elizabeth Winfield

In this episode of the Team Forces Podcast, Heledd talks to Elizabeth Winfield, a former Army logistics officer, mother of three, and the driving force behind the Armed Forces Para Snow Sports Team (AFPST). Elizabeth shares her inspiring journey from discovering Nordic skiing in the Officers Training Corps to founding a British Para Nordic ski team after a 20-year gap. Her efforts have provided transformative recovery journeys for injured, wounded, and sick veterans through competitive snow sports.

Listen as Elizabeth discusses the power of community, the challenges of pioneering a programme from scratch, and the life-changing impact of AFPST’s initiatives on participants and their families. From fundraising adventures like Everest Base Camp to leading 90 athletes and staff to Colorado, Elizabeth’s unwavering commitment to giving back is nothing short of extraordinary.
