Edwin Thompson has named the Lake District Calvert Trust as its official charity partner for the next 12 months.

The partnership will see staff at Edwin Thompson’s Keswick office take part in a range of fundraising initiatives with an overall target of £10,000.

Commenting on their support for the Lake District Calvert Trust, Joanna Brand, Sales Negotiator at Edwin Thompson’s Keswick office said:

“We are so proud to support the Lake District Calvert Trust.

“Calvert is a fantastic local charity helping more and more people with disabilities access the benefits of outdoor activity.

“Staff from our Keswick office - and other locations - have already signed up for the Great North Run and Great Cumbrian Run as well as Calvert’s Around the Bays in 80 Days and Get Lost at Lowther Corporate Activity Challenge.

“There’s a real feel-good factor in the office as we start our fundraising initiatives.”

Said Yvonne Booth, Fundraising Officer for the Lake District Calvert Trust:

“We are delighted and privileged to have been named as Edwin Thompson’s charity partner.

“Edwin Thompson is a long-standing and hugely respected business with strong local history and national reach. Support like theirs makes all the difference as we continue to challenge disability through outdoor adventure."
