Call of the Wild Development Trust is the charitable arm of Call of the Wild Development Ltd.

Since 1998, Call of the Wild Development Ltd. has worked with a wide range of clients, including the long-term unemployed, senior management teams, sports groups, and young people—developing skills that lead to positive behavioural change.

In 2017, with a desire to give back to the community, the directors of the limited company established the Trust as a Community Interest Company (CIC).

In November 2023, the Trust transitioned to a CIO, further solidifying its commitment to making a lasting, positive impact in the local community and beyond.

Drawing on the company’s extensive expertise, experienced instructors, and resources, the Trust aims to build confident, resilient young people, equipped to face life’s challenges and emerge stronger.
