All Evertonians are invited to complete online survey
Trust Everton is a bold initiative to put ownership of Everton Football Club into the hands of the fans, starting with some of the real estate: Goodison Park and Finch Farm.

After many months of planning and negotiations, a website has been set up based on a scheme under the umbrella of Supporters Direct, under the slogan: "Securing the Future of Everton FC for the current and future generations of Evertonians."

The initial rationale for Trust Everton is to explore thoroughly the feasibility of a supporters' vehicle providing sustainable long-term funding for the real-estate assets of the football club. The two that spring to mind are the training ground and the stadium.

To progress beyond this first phase, Trust Everton will need to raise and manage safely a considerable sum of money, and then run and maintain valuable property assets. Its infrastructure and management will need to be of ?industrial strength? in order to do this.

Trust Everton is now in a position to ask all Evertonians if they would be interested in participating in the purchase of Everton's state of the art training ground, Finch Farm. To help begin this process, all Evertonians are invited by Trust Everton to complete the first in a series of surveys.

If you are interested in helping with the Trust Everton project you will also find details on the Register page of the particular areas of expertise that Trust Everton is currently seeking. These requirements will change over time and updates will be announced in the Trust Everton newsletter.
