About the charity
The Calvert Trust is the inspiration of John Fryer-Spedding, whose vision was to enable people with disabilities to benefit from outdoor activities in the countryside. Two centres were opened in the Lake District during the 1970s and 1980s, followed by the facility at Whistlandpound Reservoir on the edge of Exmoor in 1996. Exmoor has its own on-site riding school, and an indoor climbing wall, and caters for groups, families and individuals.
