‘Trust Everton’ is now 'Everton First'


With effect from 22 November 2014, the ‘Trust Everton’ project, which has operated under this name since its launch in February 2011, will operate as ‘Everton First Limited’ under the management of Community Football Assets Ltd. The aims and objectives of both remain the same, namely to explore the feasibility of community ownership of football real-estate assets.

Reflecting the change, its website is now at www.evertonfirst.com and the contact e-mail address is enquiries@evertonfirst.com.

The change was signposted by Tony I’Anson at the start of a Trust Everton organised supporters meeting on 15 November 2014 which subsequently saw the formation of a steering group to explore the formation of a conventional Supporters Direct affiliated supporters’ trust. To avoid confusion Community Football Assets Ltd decided to drop its use of the word ‘trust’ which in a football context has become inherently linked with Supporters Direct affiliated organisations.

The launch of the Everton Supporters Trust subsequently took place on 5 September 2015. Further information can be found at www.est1878.co.uk
