The Metcalfe Charitable Trust

The Charity of William Harland Metcalfe, former Rector and Farmer of Everton and Scaftworth founded 23rd February, 1946, was approved and established as the above Trust on 7th December, 1960.

It is managed by five Trustees (two of whom are nominated by the Parish Council for a term of four years each) with the purpose of defraying the charges and outgoings relating to the property owned by the Trust.  This includes the Institute, Playing Fields and properties which produce rent income.  Other funds are applied for the benefit of the inhabitants of Everton and Scaftworth, mainly in support of the sporting and leisure facilities which are available to those inhabitants.

The Trust Scheme is carefully managed jointly with the Metcalfe Recreation Committee, who provide the day to day support for the user groups, and the Trustees who look to preserve the capital which will see the facilities available for the long term.
