The Calvert Trust has centres in three National Parks and Yeo Valley supports the one in Exmoor. It offers adventure holidays for disabled people and their families at its centre, based in a renovated Victorian farm overlooking a picturesque lake near Barnstaple, giving people with sometimes severe disabilities the opportunity to try outdoor activities for themselves, often for the first time. Abseiling in a wheelchair may sound tricky, but that's what the visitors can do at Calvert, as well as horse-riding, sailing, climbing and a whole host of other testing activities.

It's one of the few places in the UK where disabled people can stay with their families in purpose-designed facilities and where the whole family can participate in the activities run by the centre’s expert instructors. Most families stay for a week and leave the centre elated at having achieved so much more than they ever thought possible.

In 2004 and 2005 Yeo Valley donated a total of £25,000 toward the building of an all-access ropes challenge course which was completed spring 2007.

In May 2008 we donated a Solar Powered all-terrain Tramper wheelchair, worth over £8,000, to the centre to provide visitors with the option to travel where normal wheelchairs would fail to go.

We also supply Yeo Valley Organic yogurts, cheese and milk to the centre on a weekly basis as a donation – this means that the people staying at the centre (which can accommodate up to 55 people) can enjoy healthy organic products after a day of healthy activity, whilst the charity saves on its food bill. Over 2,500 people stay at the Exmoor Centre each year.
