Impact Report 2011
Welcome to the Calvert TrustKielder 2011 Impact Report
“He who has a why to live can bear almost any how,” wrote Friedrich Nietzsche.
Helping to give people with disabilities a “why to live” is at the heart of what
Calvert Trust Kielder is about. This Impact Report captures the stories of some
of our guests and shows how the Calvert experience has helped give thousands
of people with disabilities a “why to live”.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank our many benefactors and friends
for their help and support over the past year. It is a truism to say that without
you we could not do our work - thank you.
Likewise thanks are due to our staff, volunteers and trustees who together make
the whole enterprise work. If Olympic Medals could be given for commitment,
care and professionalism then our ‘team’ would, we are sure, win Gold.

My name is Angel Garcia Safont, and I am a student of Lleida University, Spain.
As part of my P.E. Teacher Diploma Course, I attended Haaga-Helia University of
Applied Sciences in Finland. After which, all students of the Diploma course
must go abroad to complete a 10 week internship. Thus, I was looking for a
centre with special needs that provides interesting activities and new skills to
learn. Calvert Trust Kielder was definitely the experience that I was looking for.
I was really impressed with the facilities; it was one of the most complete centres
that I have ever seen with amazing activities, jetties, wonderful equipment and
most importantly brilliant staff. Everyone at the Trust puts all their efforts into
providing the best stay ever for their guests.
Working as hard as I could, every day I finished really tired, but when I think that
I was taking part in the Calvert Trust project, helping and being useful, it was
more than worth it. Also, at the beginning of the month of July I was delighted
to be included in a meeting with the rest of the activity group; this was about
growing Calvert Trust Kielder; showing us the Realising Potential project and the
future plans for the centre, which really motivated us.
During the days, I was learning new skills and also new things that I have never
seen before. One of my personal goals is working on the area of adapted physical
activity for people with disabilities and thanks to my experience and training at
the Trust; I have the skills to help me in my career.
I would like to thank the entire Calvert Trust organisation, specially the activities
team, for making me feel at home. From the day I arrived until my departure, I
was treated really well. On my last day I met a new volunteer and I was explaining
all the things about Calvert Trust like one of the seniors; I felt truly happy when
I was explaining how much she will enjoy the stay.

"One ceases to recognize the significance
of mountain peaks if they are not viewed
occasionally from the deepest valleys."
Dr. Al Lorin
My early career was defined by drive
and ambition. By the time I was 24,
I was Section Engineer leading a
multi-disciplined team of 19 engineers
and managing a budget of over £5m.
I had a high powered job and needed
an active, high adrenaline personal life
to re-energise myself. I love the
challenge of mountaineering and
I developed a deep understanding
of advanced climbing techniques, first
aid and mountain leadership. I travelled
the world as a climber taking on
adventures in many new environments,
from the extremes of the deserts of
Jordan to regular visits to the Alps.
In January 1998 this all changed. My
world was turned upside down when
an equipment failure on a routine
training weekend in Scotland meant
that I fell and broke my back at the
first lumbar vertebrae and partially
crushed the spinal cord.

Doctors told me that I was unlikely to walk again or if I was able to manage a
few steps, the pain might make it unbearable. They told me I needed to learn
wheelchair skills; I must adapt my home; life as I had known it was over.
After many months, becoming institutionalised in the hospital, I returned to the
real world and the shocking realisation that I no longer embraced the unknown
or enjoyed the next challenge. Not only had I broken my back but somewhere
deep inside my head something else was broken too!
I tried to push on through my rehabilitation using the same life skills that had
enabled me to progress so successfully in my early life, but it wasn’t enough.
There were huge questions in my head and the sound of expert voices
ringing in my ears was holding me back. I couldn’t move forward.
I was at a low point when I accepted an invitation to the Calvert Trust for a week
of activities. I didn’t have huge expectations, I expected simply to meet some
new people and see some scenery. What I got was a new beginning. I found
myself in a nurturing, but empowering environment with the opportunity to
try many new experiences in a safe and controlled way which still allowed me
to retain personal control. The week went by pretty quickly but it had left its
inspiring legacy. Somewhere in that experience a change had occurred; healing
had taken place.
From a very real feeling of being incapable of contributing or having personal
worth, I found my self-assurance returning; I was looking for new adventures;
I had re-discovered myself. I moved from firmly believing there was no place
for this disabled me in the fast moving world of sales, to securing a position as
an International Business Development Manager.
"In the midst of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer."

Frilly Lillies
Six-year-old Lillie Thompson suffered from non-verbal autism, hydracephalus,
epilepsy and hearing loss, and sadly passed away in her sleep last September.
Since then, devastated friends of Lillie and her family have set up the Frilly Lillies
fundraising group to help other disabled children and their families, enjoy an
extra-special adventure holiday at Calvert Trust Kielder, which Lillie loved when
she visited last Easter.
The adventure holiday we had with Lillie lastApril was the best holiday any of us had everhad and we want to recreate it so that otherdisabled children and their families can benefitin the same way.
Having a disabled child can be quite isolating at times. My son Ryan has non-
verbal autism with a very low level of understanding. But last year’s holiday helped
us all form a wider support network than we had before.
Lillie’s death was a terrible shock for everyone who knew her. I’d known her since
she was a baby because she was the same age as Ryan. We all felt totally helpless.
But raising funds to send more disabled youngsters from St Helens, on the holiday
of a lifetime is a great way to continue Lillie’s memory. Her family are really
supportive of what we’re doing - it makes them happy that other children are
going to benefit in Lillie’s name.
It is hoped that the visit to Calvert Trust Kielder will now become an annual
pilgrimage.
Frilly Lillies co-founder Nichola Storey
Lindon BennettSchool
Lindon Bennett School is a primary
school in Hanworth Middlesex, for
children with severe, profound and
multiple learning difficulties. We have
an attached provision for children with
autism and have around 100 pupils in
school. We believe in providing a
stimulating education, in a
professional and caring environment,
where the children always come first.
We visited Calvert Trust Kielder, with
a group of year 5 and year 6 pupils
in 2010, and were so impressed we
brought another group of children
in 2011.
You have made our children come
alive! You have shown them that they
can achieve so much more than the
world thinks they can. To watch a child
with Profound and Multiple, Learning
Difficulties, stuck in a wheelchair for
most of her time, in a boat and flying
down a zip wire with eyes wide open,
smiling and laughing, brought tears
to our eyes! Thank you, thank you!!

Willie’s Poem
Life begins at forty
That’s what I’m always told
It can begin at any age
When folks have hearts of gold.
I didn’t know adventure
Was for people built like me
But it’s been proved at Calvert
It’s for everyone you see.
I’ve zipped across the Heavens
And abseiled just for fun
I’ve been on boats and buggies
And from the Kingswing I’ve been swung.
So thank you all you special people
From Will the ‘action man’
No matter what may happen
I’ll know in life - I CAN!
Thank you for a fabulous holiday.
Willie
PeteActivities
I have been Head of Activities at Calvert
Trust Kielder for almost ten years and
what an amazing decade it has been.
We are kept so busy pushing forward
our new and innovative equipment
and activities that sometimes we
forget how much we have progressed.
So every now and then I like to take
five minutes to remind myself just
how far we’ve come.
As someone who started as a sailing
instructor, the water-sports craft are
close to my heart. The sailing fleet has
improved and expanded to include our
lovely ‘Happy Days’ motor cruiser with
easy access and cover, which sets forth
in all weathers. Even on dreary late
autumn days, we can still get out and
experience the joys of Kielder Water.
We have benefitted hugely from the
addition of a couple of WindRider 17
trimarans. These multi-hulled stable
boats fly through the water leaving
an indelible impression on everyone
on-board. Most recently we have
been lucky enough to commission
the beautiful ‘Sylvia Adams’ into our
fleet. This Drascombe Gig enables larger
groups to sail together in comfort and
style. All our sailing activity takes place
from the beautiful and recently
developed Matthews Linn Boathouse,
there really is no better location on
the lake!
But Calvert Trust Kielder is not just
about the water, we generate great
excitement on our climbing and ropes
activities. The King Swing, low and high
ropes courses and indoor climbing wall
are adrenaline experiences that have
become some of our most popular
activities.
So why does this kit matter? Well, all
this new equipment has markedly
enhanced the guest experience at the
Trust. Every day I hear squeals of
delight on the King Swing, tales of
bravery while navigating the high
ropes course, driving in circles on the
motor boat and reaching new highs
on the climbing wall; all from guests
pushing themselves to try new
experiences, breaking boundaries,
gaining self confidence and even
better, doing it while having fun.
“If the next ten yearsis anything like thelast, bring it on I can’twait.”

The Smith Family
5-year old Matthew has been disabled from
birth. His parents know how difficult it is to
plan a trip or holiday that the whole family
can enjoy, while making sure that accessibility
is not a problem for Matthew.
We try not to let it deter us from going out as
a family but two adults are needed for a trip
out and it will affect where we go and what
activities we can take part in. This does impact
on our other child who is able-bodied but not
always able to do things her friends might.
Being the parents of a disabled child is not
something you’re trained to do. You’re not
blessed with any extra knowledge about how
to source equipment and services, so sometimes
it can be extremely frustrating and time
consuming. Going on a trip or holiday requires
a lot more planning, but at Calvert Trust Kielder
we were able to see there were activities our
son could take part in like any other child, and
specialist equipment was available to help us.
The accommodation was easily accessible and
spacious so we didn’t have to worry about so
many of the things that usually restrict us. It
took the stress away and made it a proper holiday!
Diana Smith, Matthew’s Mum

Stanmore House School
Senior pupils from Capability Scotland’s Stanmore House School, enjoyed their
first visit to Calvert Trust Kielder.
The planning and preparation in school before the week away, allowed them
to be involved at their own levels. Their anticipation and also anxieties were
recognised and aired, but when they actually got there, nothing could prepare
them for the excitement, quality of experience and sense of achievement they
experienced.
The activities they were able to take part in, such as the zip wire, the golf buggies,
the motor boat ride across the water, sessions in the hydrotherapy pool and a visit to
the nearby Birds of Prey centre, enabled them to feel challenged, exhilarated and
respected for what they had achieved.
The opportunities made possible by the staff, the organisation and the specialised
equipment at Calvert Trust, gave these young people with complex support needs,
experiences that truly enhanced their sense of confidence and self-esteem. Their
enjoyment of these outdoor experiences was reflected in their spontaneous ability
to engage in the whole fun and social experience of living in the chalets as a group.
They came home rightly very pleased with themselves. Their achievements will
be recognised in a Sports and Leisure ASDAN module which will be completed by
the end of the year.
Our thanks must go to the Calvert Trust for the pleasant, efficient, supportive way
they worked with the young people and the group as a whole. It is an experience
we look forward to offering other pupils as they move through their transition into
the adult world beyond school with increased self-confidence and self-respect.

Family holidays aren’t always as relaxing as they could be when one of your
children has special needs.
The younger of my two sons, Kit, has Angelman Syndrome. This has slowed his
development right down. He can neither walk nor talk, cannot use sign language,
has visual problems, and used to suffer from seizures. When he was small, these
were inconveniences but we were able to cope relatively well. Now, however, he
is in his mid-teens, so we can’t pick him up and carry him any sort of distance.
Family holidays take a lot more planning than used to be the case, and even then
we keep our fingers crossed that things will work out and all the doorways we
encounter will be wide enough for a full-sized wheelchair.
For a few years, we rented a series of houses around Scotland (so we were
never too far from home if we’d forgotten to pack anything crucial). The letting
company became used to our needs - ground-floor bedroom and bathroom; few
or no steps outside the house; no steep hillsides, please. Another year we took
the car to Spain, where each day or two we’d stop at the hotel or boarding house
and hope the place was as wheelchair-friendly as we’d been promised.
By the way - we’re among the luckier ones. We have a bit of money, and when
Kit is not at school we have a carer to look after him. Carers are heroes in my
eyes, and Jonathan has been with us now for half Kit’s lifetime. Jonathan comes
with us on these holidays and adds an extra pair of hands and eyes - necessary,
because nothing is safe when Kit is within reach of it.
Kit is a very sociable young man who loves meeting people, even if his welcome
can be more boisterous than some are expecting. A big hug, a squeal and maybe
a pull of the hair, and you are suddenly part of Kit’s world. He loves the outdoors -
the sounds and smells, the wind rushing past. The rest of the family aren’t exactly
‘sporty’, but someone had told us about the Calvert Trust’s Outdoor Activity
Centre in Kielder Forest, so we arranged to visit during an open day. The drive
took just over two hours from Edinburgh, and I only got us lost once, which is
something of a record for me. The
scenery around Kielder is stunning
and Kielder Water itself was a decided
bonus, as Kit loves anything to do
with water.
We were shown around, and
could see the potential of the site
immediately. The activities had been
put in place with wheelchairs in mind:
Zip Wire; King Swing; Rock Wall. There
was an accessible indoor pool and
plenty of woodland to explore. We
were shown one of the bedrooms in
the main complex, plus one of the
wooden lodges. Both looked great,
and had again been designed with
wheelchair access to the fore.
Won over, we went home, discussed
our options, and booked a stay at a
family lodge for later on in the year.
“We could relax andenjoy our time withKit. Which is what afamily holiday shouldbe about.”
Well, Kit had a blast, and we could all relax, because we didn’t have to worry about
access or activities or people giving Kit funny looks as he clapped with excitement
at each new experience. The King Swing was a highlight for me, because Jonathan
had to be strapped in beside Kit, the pair of them winched way up into the sky
before the mechanism was released and the swing itself started to drop. (Turns out
Jonathan has a thing about heights. Me too, which is why I volunteered him.) Kit
has no such qualms and enjoyed the whole thing. Same went for the Zip Wire, as
he flew across a stream in his wheelchair, several feet off the ground - another first
for him and for us.
The indoor pool proved perfect, too. It was easy to get him in and out, and was
never busy. On colder or drizzlier days, it provided a calming half-hour for Kit, as
well as some exercise.
But the highlight from Kit’s point of view may well have been the boat trip on
the vast stretch of lake known as Kielder Water. Again, the craft was accessible
by wheelchair, and as the boat got up speed, the waves splashed and the wind
rattled Kit’s ears, a huge grin spread across his face and stayed there.
The lodge, meantime, was proving ideal - no need to hide all the owner’s ornaments
so they wouldn’t get within Kit’s grasp. We had taken our own food, so knew
everyone would get what they wanted. Jonathan sometimes escaped of an evening
to watch football on the TV in the main complex. But by that time Kit was in bed,
exhausted and happy.
One unexpected bonus was the chance to check out the vehicles the Calvert Trust
used for transporting people in their wheelchairs. (When it was time to change
cars, we ended up ordering one from the company that modified them).
What Kielder does is give people with disabilities the opportunity to experience
outdoor pursuits which would usually be off limits to them. But it is also terrific
for those people’s families and carers, because the usual holiday worries and
pitfalls just aren’t there. Not being on tenterhooks was a new sensation for us.

Calvert Trust means different things to different people, but to me it’s all about
personal achievement. I remember my first experience of the Trust and how it
made me feel; that’s what I want all our guests to experience.
I had heard about Kielder Water but to see the still waters of the lake,
surrounded by the amazingly stunning countryside and most predominantly the
purple heather was breath-taking. On a September day, almost 15 years ago, I
was a shy, non-sporty volunteer with a group of disabled people who had never
experienced any of the activities on offer or seen anyone with a disability taking
part in these sports. Throughout that first week there was such a buzz of
excitement and everyone achieved something. For me it was the realisation
that while school sports were not for me, these types of activities were
terrifying and stimulating, but left a great sense of achievement, positivity
and self-confidence.
The following year during our visit, I plucked up the courage to ask for a job
application form and here I am many years on, Team Leader of Respite Care.
The stories and achievements that I have witnessed are so many and so varied
that it’s impossible to single any out, but they all mean so much to me. For some
people their achievement is to have their first independent holiday, see a snake
on the nature trail, relax in the hydrotherapy pool or simply breathe in the fresh
country air. We never take for granted the small achievements or experiences
that are happening every day for our guests; each achievement can be as life
changing for some, as the first abseil or indoor wall climb is for others, and we
value each the same.
If you want to understand what I am talking about why don’t you visit us and
experience how we feel; words can only explain so much of what we do and
who we are.
“I know you won’t beable to leave withouttaking a little CalvertTrust magic with you!”
KevinDirector of Operations
I know it’s a cliche but no two days are
ever the same at Calvert Trust Kielder
and that’s what I enjoy about my job.
My role would not be suited to someone
who thrives on routine or who lives for
a nine to five office life. One day I may
be meeting with the CEO and Board of
Trustees to discuss capital expenditure
and major projects, the next I could be
ordering fittings and furniture for the
centre, deciding the venue for the staff
Christmas Party or speaking to first time
visitors about their experience of the Trust.
I want my job to mean something;
I want to contribute to society in a
positive way, no matter how small that
contribution might be. I came to Calvert
Trust Kielder as a summer worker whilst
studying for my second degree at
University and was then offered the
opportunity to become a permanent
member of staff. I had never thought
of working in the non-profit sector
and it hadn’t occurred to me that
working for a charity was a career
option. I threw myself wholeheartedly
into the role and sixteen years on I still
love what I do and consider myself very
fortunate.
I manage the Operational Heads of activities, care, catering, maintenance,
business development and house. I am also responsible for setting and
monitoring the operations budgets and ensuring compliance with regulatory
and other outside agencies.
I love the variety of work and appreciate that I am empowered to make
decisions, which have a positive effect on the lives of visitors and staff. I
appreciate the passionate, knowledgeable and lovely people that I work
alongside, many of whom have also enjoyed long careers at the Trust, but...
... nothing beats chatting to our guests andhearing how Calvert Trust Kielder has helpedto radically improve the quality of their life;it’s what we’re all about, proving it’s what youCAN do that counts.

FundraisingHighlights
The Calvert Ball
The Calvert Ball held in September was
a huge success, raising over £35,000.
Local businesses and supporters were
taken deep into ‘Kielder Forest’,
recreated at the Hilton Newcastle
Gateshead, for an evening of great food
and entertainment. We would like to say
a big thank you to our sponsors Kilfrost,
Perro and Robson Print, and all the
guests who attended the event.
NatWest Community Force
With the help of our amazing supporters,
staff and guests, in November we won
£6,275 from NatWest Community Force.
The award was used to encourage young
carers, some as young as 10 years old,
to enjoy a short break at the centre,
where they were able to relinquish the
responsibility of caring for a few days
and just enjoy being a child.
Thank you everyone who registered and
voted on the NatWest Community Force
website for our project. We couldn't have
done it without you.
Sylvia Adams
Sailing is one of the most popular activities at Calvert Trust Kielder and when the
need arose for a new sailing boat to enable more visitors to experience the thrill
of sailing on Kielder Water, The Sylvia Adams Trust, came to the rescue, by allocating
a grant of £24,511 to buy a Drascombe Gig.
The new boat has been named ‘Sylvia Adams’ and some guests staying at the
centre on a respite break, were thrilled to take part in her inaugural sail on the lake.
The gig is a powerful and exhilarating sailing boat that will accommodate 10 people
but can be sailed single-handedly by an experienced skipper and is easier for novice
sailors to learn to sail, giving them a real sense of achievement.
“People are often nervous about getting into a boat, but when we demonstrate
the stability of the gig, they relax and thoroughly enjoy their trip on the water.”
James, Activity Instructor
Newcastle School for Boys
In June, 41 cyclists including teachers, parents and children from Newcastle School
for Boys, cycled around Kielder Water and raised £629 for Calvert Trust Kielder.
Cyclists had a choice of a 10 mile loop, or the full 26 miles around the lake.
Supporting them in their challenge was Purple Mountain, a bike hire centre based
near Kielder Castle, and The Cycle Centre in Byker.
Barclays Bike Ride
A team of big-hearted employees from Barclays Business Banking in Northumberland
and North Tyneside, took time out from their day job to cycle 26 miles around Kielder
Water, raising £950 for Calvert Trust Kielder. Furthermore, the money raised was
matched pound for pound, as part of the Barclays Community Investment ‘Charity
Begins at Work’ Programme, bringing the total to £1,900.

Northumbria Police
Calvert Trust Kielder was the main beneficiary of the annual Northumbria Police
Pro-Am Charity Golf Tournament, receiving a donation of £12,500.
"It's fantastic that we've been able to help so many deserving causes this year. The
weather certainly made for testing conditions for all the golfers but it's to their
credit that no-one gave up.
I'd like to thank all those who took part and dug deep to contribute to the event.
It is down to the continuing commitment from all our sponsors and supporters
that the tournament is such a success each year.
Even in these difficult economic times it is heartening that organisations and individuals
have come forward to help achieve such a substantial amount for local good causes."
Assistant Chief Officer Bernie McCardle, Committee Chairman
Golf Day
17 teams took part in our 14th Annual Golf Day raising over £7,000 for the Trust.
Playing for the first time in the event was Doug Cleasby of Addo Services. Doug’s
brother Graeme is 39 and has Cerebral Palsy. He has very limited use of his limbs
and is unable to communicate verbally with other people. Graeme has been visiting
the centre up to three times a year for the past fifteen years and eagerly awaits his
reunions with staff and friends.
“The superb facilities at the centre bring Graeme the much needed independence
and holiday he needs at key points throughout the year.
I was thrilled to be able to enter a team in this year’s golf day and support the Trust,
which makes such a difference to Graeme’s life.”
Doug Cleasby
Graeme came along to the golf day with his Mum to help draw the raffle, hand
out prizes and present The Calvert Cup to this year’s winners, Bibby Financial Services.
...He has made somegreat friends withother guests, butmore so with thestaff, who he looksupon as key to thesuccess of his stay.
Perro Three Peaks Challenge
Newcastle design consultancy Perro, have been providing Calvert
Trust Kielder with design and marketing services in kind since 2010.
This year they took their support to new heights by scaling the UK’s
highest mountains in the gruelling Three Peaks Challenge, raising
£3,319 for the Trust.
“The design and marketing support we have received from Perro has been
invaluable in helping us to develop our profile, raise vital funds and increase
awareness of the work of the Trust. Our thanks and appreciation go to Andy
and his team for their generosity and continued enthusiasm for Calvert Trust Kielder.”
Linda Squire, Development Manager
Killer Kielder
North East adventure seeker, Matt Jones, completed a unique and epic off-road
challenge, raising over £5,500 for Calvert Trust Kielder.
Matt set himself the challenge of cycling 100 miles in the Montane Kielder 100,
paddling five miles in a kayak across Kielder Water and then running the gruelling
26 miles around the Lakeside Way, all in the space of 24 hours.
After 12 months of training, on 3 September Matt became the first person to
complete his self-designed challenge, Killer Kielder, and managed to do so in just
18 hours and 15 minutes.
“I was keen to support Calvert Trust Kielder as,in the same way I was setting myself the biggestchallenge of my life, Calvert Trust enables peopleto overcome their challenges every day.”Matt Jones

Realising Potential
In our 2010 Impact Report, we announced plans for our Realising Potential Appeal
to expand and update our facilities and enable more people of all abilities to benefit
from a wide range of challenging indoor, outdoor and recreational activities for
resident guests and day visitors.
Planning permission has been granted for the new visitor welcome and activity centre,
games hall, café, shop, conference and meeting room; sports hall housing an indoor
caving system, bouldering and climbing wall; five purpose built accessible log cabins.
Our focus is now on raising the funds we need to ensure our ambitious plans reach
fruition. The modular design means that we can begin building each stage as and
when funds become available - the sooner we reach each target, the sooner our
exciting new facilities will be ready for our visitors and guests.
Our trustees, appeal board and fundraising team will seek funds from grant making
trusts and foundations, the business community, events and activities in the local
community and individual donors, many of whom have already pledged financial
support or gift in kind for the campaign.
Our existing facilities have served us well for over 25 years and 100,000 guests have
learned ‘it’s what you CAN do that counts’, but now is the time to improve and grow
Calvert Trust Kielder.
"I have not only learned many new skills, but alsogained independence, confidence, life experienceand met such a variety of interesting people."Anna 2011
