Fundraising Let's help each other

To keep the doors open here at Calvert Lakes it costs over £1.5m a year, which is why your help is so important! Although we raise around £1m through our residential fees, the remainder of our operating costs must be met through charitable donations. These donations also allow us to subsidise every single one of our visitors to an average of £30 per person per night.
