THE KEPPLEWRAY TRUST

Kepplewray challenges exclusion and is founded on a commitment to bring disabled and non-disabled people together as equal partners.We operate a fully accessible education and activity centre offering adventure, challenge and relaxation with full-board accommodation and home-cooked food. We provide training on disability awareness and undertake access auditing.
