Fundraising for The Lake District Calvert Trust

Story

Creating courses and programmes for the disabled in the Lake District (think outward bound, zip wires, horse riding, sailing) which focus entirely on what CAN be done is really just the tip of the iceberg. The benefits can be truly inspirational; promoting independence, confidence and integration. The Calvert Trust's work is incredibly worthwhile for people of all ages and whether they have physical, sensory and/or learning disabilities.

It all takes cash and that's why I'm supporting the charity and hope you'll help me achieve my goal by sponsoring me. I know you get asked loads and there might be a bit of 'charity fatigue' but please just do it!! I'm 50 and frankly need all the encouragement I can get xxx

The Lake District Calvert Trust provides residential outdoor activity courses for people of all ages with physical, sensory, learning, behavioural and/or mental disabilities. Its mission is to challenge disability through outdoor adventure. Pioneering equipment adaptations, and intensive, instructor-led activity programmes (that include climbing, abseiling, canoeing, sailing, horse/trap driving, archery, orienteering and paragliding), provide an environment whose aims are to teach, challenge, motivate, engender confidence in ability, promote independence, and foster integration. All instructors are highly trained and specialist qualified, and the facilities are specially adapted and fully accessible to all. The Lake District Calvert Trust provides a unique and life-changing experience for those with disabilities, who are encouraged to believe that it’s what you CAN do that counts.
