Calvert Kielder
Get your business involved
Every business is different. Different goals, different values, different ways of measuring what matters. Some are looking to deepen their Environmental, Social and Governance commitments or Corporate Social Responsibility. Some want their teams to bond while engaging in something meaningful. Some simply want to support a cause that reflects what they stand for.
At Calvert Kielder, we don’t do off-the-shelf partnerships. We’ll take the time to understand your business. What are you trying to achieve? What does your team cares about? What does success look like for you? Then we work with you to build something that fits.
What stays the same, whatever shape that takes, is the impact. Every partnership helps children and adults with disabilities experience outdoor adventure in a place that was designed, from the start, for them.
Why work with us?
A partnership with Calvert Kielder is more than a line in your CSR report.
We’ll work alongside you to create opportunities that are genuinely good for your business and for the people we support. We’ll keep you updated with stories, evidence and the kind of real-world impact that gives your team something to point to and feel proud of.
And we’ll be honest with you about what’s possible, what we need from you and how we can make the most of whatever you’re able to give — whether that’s time, money, skills, or something else entirely.

Whatever you choose, we’ll make sure it brings genuine value back to your business.
Team building with a difference
If you’re looking for a team day that people will talk about for years to come, Calvert Kielder is worth serious consideration.
Set within England’s largest working forest, our accessible outdoor activities give colleagues the chance to challenge themselves, work together and do something they’re unlikely to have done before — from our ZipCoaster and climbing wall to canoeing on the reservoir and abseiling from a 10-metre tower. All fully accessible, all led by our specialist team.
We’ve recently welcomed teams from businesses including Newcastle Building Society, rolling up their sleeves to give the Calvert Kielder driveway a fresh coat of paint, and Sintons Solicitors, whose team took on a charity bike ride in our support.
Whether you want a bespoke team-building experience, a volunteering day, or a combination of both, we’ll put together something that works for your team and supports our work at the same time.
The difference you'll make
Every partnership supports our registered charity to do more for the people who come to Calvert Kielder. That ranges from maintaining specialist equipment and improving our accessible facilities to subsidising breaks for families who couldn’t otherwise afford to visit, and developing new activities that open up adventure to more people.
It’s not abstract. The support you give shows up in real, specific ways. We see it every day in the person who tries abseiling for the first time, in the family who gets a week’s rest they genuinely needed, in the guest who comes back year after year because this is the one place that works for them.
