Who we are
In 1944 a public meeting was held in Oxshott in response to the wishes of the whole community to express their gratitude to those who were serving in the Second World War. At that meeting a resolution was passed to establish a Trust Fund to build a Village Centre for the "benefit of the inhabitants of Oxshott".
The Oxshott Village Centre sits on land owned by the Crown Estate who granted a 97-year lease to the OVT in 1963. The lease is currently being negotiated to extend to a 99-year lease in readiness for the new medical centre.
A Management Committee consisting of elected members, representatives of local organisations and the three trustees of the Oxshott Village Trust Fund was appointed to run the centre for the promotion of social, recreational, and cultural activities. As the Management Committee has the general control and management of the administration of the Trust Fund, its members are regarded as 'charity trustees' for the purposes of charities legislation, even though the Trust Fund is vested only in the Trustees (currently three).
Building restrictions and a lack of funds in the immediate aftermath of the war delayed the opening of the Centre until 1962. In 1979 a side extension was added to enable the local doctors to open the still existing Oxshott Medical Practice.
The Centre is still run on a voluntary basis by the Management Committee.
Why we exist
The management team run the maintenance & lettings for the Halls, the land & the medical practice.
Funds from the rental of the Halls and Doctors surgery provide a solid income enabling the OVT to fund various local activities as well as maintaining the Village Centre Halls. The current medical practice was built on the Crown Estate plot in 1979 to provide NHS services to the then 3,800 Oxshott residents.
The Trust also benefits from licencing the car parking within the grounds.
On November 20th 2023, we held an AGM for the Oxshott Trust Fund the Minutes are available for download below:

Who we benefit
The Oxshott Village Trust exists purely for the benefit of Oxshott residents for social & medical services.
The next large project that the OVT will be responsible for is the new Doctors surgery which will benefit the current & future Oxshott residents for many years to come.
