The Metcalfe Smith Trust
Advertisement
The Metcalfe Smith Trust, established in 1867 by banker John Metcalfe Smith, was created in memory of those living and working in Leeds and originally built Cookridge Convalescent Hospital. Since its inception, the Trust has evolved, selling hospital land and reinvesting proceeds to provide grants aimed at alleviating hardship associated with sickness, ill health, or disability in the region.
Following a merger with the Leeds District Aid in Sickness Fund in 2015, the Trust continues to address emerging needs within the community, facilitating support for individuals to significantly enhance their quality of life. The Trust's ongoing commitment reflects its historical roots while adapting to contemporary challenges faced by the people of Leeds.
