Diana, Ron and Ian's Round the Island Yacht Race page

Fundraising for The Lake District Calvert Trust

Story

Ian Hall (skipper and sea dog), Ron Smith (first mate and general old salt) and Diana Jellinek (helm and ballast) are taking part in the Round the Island (Isle of Wight) Yacht Race on 2nd July 2016 in Ian's small catamaran BiChance to raise money for The Calvert Trust.

The Calvert Trust has over 35 years of experience delivering challenging outdoor adventure holidays for people with disabilities with centres in Exmoor, Keilder and Bassenthwaite Lake in the heart of the Lake District.

Calvert Trust holidays are accessible to people of all ages with sensory, learning or physical disabilities, including those with the most complex needs for which most outdoor centres cannot cater.

The Lake District Centre has a wheelchair adapted catamaran designed by Ian on Windermere, which is similar to BiChance that we will be sailing in the race.

The Lake District Calvert Trust provides residential outdoor activity courses for people of all ages with physical, sensory, learning, behavioural and/or mental disabilities. Its mission is to challenge disability through outdoor adventure. Pioneering equipment adaptations, and intensive, instructor-led activity programmes (that include climbing, abseiling, canoeing, sailing, horse/trap driving, archery, orienteering and paragliding), provide an environment whose aims are to teach, challenge, motivate, engender confidence in ability, promote independence, and foster integration. All instructors are highly trained and specialist qualified, and the facilities are specially adapted and fully accessible to all. The Lake District Calvert Trust provides a unique and life-changing experience for those with disabilities, who are encouraged to believe that it’s what you CAN do that counts.
