Hexham’s Calvert Trust Kielder has been presented with a new Lord’s Taverners wheelchair accessible minibus.
Since 1976, Lord’s Taverners has placed over 1,100 accessible minibuses across schools in the UK. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the first minibus giveaway and to celebrate, the charity will be giving away a record 40 minibuses in 2016. The iconic Lord’s Taverners minibuses provide disadvantaged and disabled young people with the chance to engage with their local community by getting more access to the facilities on offer while building important life skills in the process.
Located at its award-winning centre within Kielder Water & Forest Park near Hexham, Calvert Trust Kielder is a registered charity which enables guests of all abilities to achieve their potential through the challenge of outdoor adventure with professional instructor-led activities in stunning surroundings. The new minibus will help staff at Calvert Trust Kielder transport guests to and from water-based activities such as sailing, canoeing, kayaking and motor boating, as well as other trips further afield.
