The Lake District Calvert Trust

Who we are

The Lake District Calvert Trust is a charity that challenges disability through outdoor adventure, enriching lives through adventure, building confidence and personal achievement, whilst enjoying the beautiful Lake District countryside. We have two centres that provide a range of services, located on the outskirts Keswick.

Calvert Lakes- provides fun-filled outdoor adventure for all, with our adapted equipment and specialist knowledge, offering an experience like no other to people with disabilities, their friends and family. Our highly trained team use experience and empathy to break down barriers and truly connect with people, creating a fun, inclusive environment that gives them confidence to try new things.

Calvert Lakes Riding Centre– British Horse Society and Riding for the Disabled Association approved riding establishment, supporting both Calvert Lakes and Calvert Reconnections. Our dedicated team provide accessible riding and trap driving for residential and community riders and have found that horses (and instructors) provide a little bit of magic for our guests and participants.
