Steve hosted the Calvert Ball at Newcastle
Gateshead Hilton hotel in early September 2011.
Calvert
Trust Kielder has over 25 years experience of providing
excellent, tailor-made, outdoor multi-activity days or residential
breaks, adult respite care packages and 4-star self catering
Scandinavian-style lodge holidays, welcoming guests of all
ages and abilities. It is situated in their own 40-acre woodland
site within the spectacular Kielder Water & Forest Park.
As one of the UK’s most beautiful areas, this location
offers 27 glorious miles of shoreline, a magical environment
full of wildlife and flora, fresh, clean air and magnificent
expansive horizons!
There was a speech from Peter Cockerill; CEO at Calvert Trust
Kielder, and a very moving and inspiring story from Paul Godfrey.
Paul was badly injured in a climbing accident, and left with
permanent disability. He told of how the Calvert Trust had
turned his life around. A great band closed the evening -
the Jamie Squire band.

would like to say thank you to Hazel Munro; Corporate &
Events Fundraiser for the Calvert Trust Kielder. Steve is

As
well as hosting the event, Steve also provided subtle
swing and rat pack vocals during dinner. With ticket
sales, and all the fundraising on the evening, including
the grand auction which Steve hosted, over £35,000
was raised. This exceeded last years total by some
£5,000, which considering today's financial
climate is a real achievement by the whole team.

"Dear Steve,
I am writing to thank you for hosting The Calvert Ball on
Friday 2 September 2011 at Hilton Newcastle Gateshead. This
year was our third annual ball and organising an event of
this size doesn’t get any easier, however, your expertise
and professionalism leading up to and during the event made
it a lot easier. You kept the night running smoothly and the
guests entertained. We have received some fantastic feedback
from guests who especially enjoyed your singing during dinner.
I am delighted to tell you that the event raised £36,000
for Calvert Trust Kielder; we couldn’t have done this
without your help. The money raised will go towards helping
children and adults with disabilities to realise their potential
through challenging outdoor activities. I really enjoyed working
with you and would not hesitate to recommend your services
to other event organisers. Once again many thanks. Hazel"
