“The fundraising team were incredibly helpful. If we had an idea, they helped make it happen. Our whole business benefitted from this rewarding experience, the team bonded and staff were hugely motivated. I would recommend partnering with the Lake District Calvert Trust to anyone- it really is an inspiring charity.”
We're hugely grateful for the support of these corporate partners:
Sponsor a Pony
Sponsor a pony and you will help people with disabilities to experience riding and trap driving with support from our highly trained Calvert Trust ponies, staff and stables volunteers. The Lake District Calvert Trust relies heavily on donations to continue this specialist work, so thank you for any support you are able to give. Sponsorship starts from as little as £10 a month.
Let’s be Friends
The Friends of the Calvert Trust (Lake District) are a wonderful group of volunteers and donors who raise vital funds for us. They work tirelessly to organise a varied programme of events such as plays, concerts and cruises throughout the year at beautiful Lake District locations. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook, or sign up to to our email newsletter to be the first to find out about these fabulous events! Members of the Friends are also very generous in their regular donations and support of our work.
Volunteer
Volunteers are vital to the work of the Calvert Trust and there are many ways you can get involved. Not only does volunteering help us beyond measure, it can be a rewarding and fun experience for you too: gain new skills; build life and work experiences; meet new and interesting people!
Whether you are an individual, group, or a work experience student studying Outdoor Education or Recreation, our volunteering opportunities range from assisting with occasional fundraising events to regular weekly sessions at our Riding for the Disabled Stables.

Today, more so than ever, in the world, so many people need our help and support. So why Lake District Calvert Trust? Well, see for yourself…
