Calvert Lakes is helping its visitors battle the cost of living crisis as research shows disabled people are abandoning outdoor activity breaks because they can’t afford it.
The centre, near Keswick, is offering 25 per cent off all in-inclusive, multi-activity breaks for the next four months.
The promotion, which runs from November 1 until February 29, applies to all new bookings if one person in their group – adult or child – is disabled.
Research earlier this year by Calvert Lakes indicated that 55 per cent of disabled people are abandoning their plans for breaks due to the cost of living crisis.
Sean Day, chief executive of the Lake District Calvert Trust, said: “If disabled people cut back on much-needed breaks in the great outdoors due to financial pressures their physical and mental health will suffer.
“Our aim is to stop that from happening and we very much hope our discounted packages will help. Prices at the centre are all-inclusive as well as being subsidised by our own fundraising efforts. We are also hugely grateful to generous benefactors who enable us to provide bursary funding.
“As a charity we face our own financial pressures but we are determined to make residential breaks at Calvert Lakes as affordable as we possibly can.”
