Stories

"MoorVision have visited for the last 13 years. Calvert Exmoor is absolutely the only place we know where every single child and young person can join in every single activity regardless of the type or severity of their disability. There are no barriers. The activity instructors are so well trained in supporting a very wide range of disabilities. Not only can they fully participate in the activities, but the entire centre is accessible to them including accommodation, swimming pool, leisure areas and dining."

Laura Hughes, CEO of MoorVision
