CALM

CALM is Countryside Access for the Less Mobile. Associate Membership is available to everyone regardless of disabilities. Our aim is for Able Bodied members to assist those less mobile to get out into the countryside so that together they can appreciate the Countryside as it should be enjoyed.
Disabilities play a large part in stopping people visiting the Countryside be it from someone that isn’t capable of walking through to Agoraphobics that can feel safe enough in a vehicle. Maybe it is old age or infirmity that has stopped someone from enjoying the Countryside and we can work together with them to get them back “out there”
CALM is in fact a rebranding of DORA, Disabled Off Road Access, that has been running for many years. The rebranding was needed to ensure the long term future of the organisation given the fact that “Off Road” is frowned upon. We will continue to assist and protect the rights for ALL whilst enhancing those of the disabled via Lobbying and working with Local Authorities as well as offering personal support where we can. Our intention is to build a network of advisers representing CALM.
