The Metcalfe Charitable Trust and Metcalfe Recreation Committee
The Metcalfe Charitable Trust
William Harland Metcalfe, a former Rector and Farmer in Everton and Scaftworth left a significant proportion of his estate in his Will to the Parishes of Everton and Scaftworth. The charity was founded on 23rd February, 1946 and was approved and registered with the Charity Commissioners as The Metcalfe Charitable Trust on 7th December, 1960.
The Charity’s objectives are:
“To operate and maintain the parish institute (Village Hall) and Recreation Ground, Everton, for the benefit of the inhabitants of the parishes of Everton and Scaftworth (includes Harwell and Drakeholes) in the County of Nottinghamshire and apply any surplus income for such other charitable purposes for the benefit of the said inhabitants as the Trustees deem fit”.
The village is extremely fortunate to have such a Trust which pays for the upkeep and maintenance of the Village Hall and the Recreation Ground etc. (in the region of £90,000 per year), without any requirement for funding from either the Parish or District Councils or tax payer in general. These wonderful facilities include a Cricket Ground, Football Pitches, Bowling Green, two Tennis Courts, Children’s Playground, Tea Room, Changing Facilities and Cricket Pavilion.
The Trust is managed by five Trustees (two of whom are nominated by the Parish Council for a term of four years each). The Trustees manage and endeavour to preserve the capital to ensure that the Village Hall and Recreation Ground facilities will continue to be available for the long term.
The current trustees are:-
Polly Backhouse
Jean Bere
Chris Harrison
Richard Scott (Acting Chair)
Lee Foster
