Helen McIntosh has nominated Exmoor’s Calvert Trust as her nominated Charity following the very successful Ladies Night held recently

Each year we invite the wife or partner of our worshipful Master to nominate a local Charity to receive the monies raised at the annual Ladies Night. This year Mrs. Helen McIntosh has selected Exmoor’s Calvert Trust to be the very worthy recipient.

Situated at Wistlandpound in the Exmoor National Park, the Calvert Trust is a registered charity providing exciting, fun, and accessible breaks and activities for children, adults, families and groups with disabilities.

Since 1996 they have been welcoming guests with physical, behavioural, sensory, and learning disabilities to their dedicated activity centre, encouraging them to take part in an exclusive range of adventurous activities and push themselves in a positive, safe and challenging way. 

Located in the rolling hills of Exmoor, their fully accessible centre offers high quality facilities and professionally adaptive accommodation all nestled in the tranquil environment of the stunning Devon countryside.   

Calvert Exmoor takes a unique and personal approach, journeying with their guests on a road to self-confidence, empowerment, and inclusivity. Whether guests are visiting by themselves, with family or friends, or as part of a group, they provide breaks and activities for everyone regardless of age or ability; and prove…

“…it’s what you CAN do that counts! “

On 13th April 2023 Helen, along with husband Ray and Peter Kyle our Charity Steward (i.e. Chief Fundraiser) visited the Trust and met with Emily Parkes their Fundraising Officer. They enjoyed a tour of the extensive and impressive facilities, during which they learned more about the Trust and it’s work.

At the end of the visit Helen presented Emily with a cheque for £500 on behalf of South Molton Freemasons. Emily said…

On behalf of the Calvert Trust, I would like to say a huge thank you to South Molton’s Freemasons for this generous and most welcome donation. It means a lot. It is particularly lovely to note that this money was raised here in our local North Devon community

In reply Peter Kyle said…

South Molton Freemasons are delighted to be able to support the important work being carried out, in our local community, by the wonderful people here at the Calvert Trust. Having seen first hand the difference it can make to the lives of the people who holiday here, we are both humbled and proud to be able to play our small part in making it happen.
