A Trust comprises of group of committed fans who wish to positively strengthen the influence of supporters over the running of the club they support, giving fans a greater say in the administration, organisation and direction of their football club.

Newport Supporter’s Trust currently owns 80% of the club and members participate in activities such as volunteering, promoting the work the Trust carries out, or just having a voice at meetings.

Volunteering isn’t essential but is always helpful, and this can be done through various means, such as supporting to prepare for matchdays, supporting on matchdays, generating positive publicity and encouraging and gaining sponsorship.

We actively encourage fans to bring in new members to the trust, and should you know anyone else who wishes to join, please ask them to complete an application form available in this pack. The fee of £10 per person, per season support funds, and details of how to make this payment are included on the membership form.

Amongst its members our Trust currently comprises of the following positions:

Chair: Steve Rackett
Vice Chair: Mick Downton
Treasurer: Toby Webber
Secretary: Jenny Holmes

What is the Trust Committee?

The Committee currently comprises of 13 Supporter’s Trust members.

The purpose of the Committee is to ensure the Trust acts correctly and legally, representing everyone associated with NIWFC, and to ensure the Trust member’s voices reach the football team and management.

Members hold their position for 2 years and votes for new members take place periodically.

Please note, as a member of the Trust you will be invited to Trust meetings approximately once a quarter which, whilst we would encourage your participation, are not compulsory for you to attend. Notes will be distributed following every Trust meeting, and members will also receive a monthly newsletter for Steve with club updates and latest news.

With regards to Trust Committee meetings, the expectation is that Committee members attend regular monthly meetings, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

It is also important to note that, due to the nature of some subjects being discussed, Trust and Committee meetings are strictly confidential, and anything discussed should not be shared with outside parties unless specific permission has been given.

Failure to follow this could result in your membership to the Trust being withdrawn without notice, and your membership fee not being reimbursed.

We are so proud of Newport IWF Football Club and the hard work that is put in both on and off the field.

Our main focus as we move forward is to support the club to get back to where we belong, and where we deserve to be.

We are all volunteers, and we want to expand our off-field team further with individuals who can offer an extra something. If you would like to be an even bigger part of that, we’d love for you to join us and support us further in our journey in any way you can.

With that in mind, if you have any specialist skills, links to businesses or the media that you think would benefit the club and the work of the Trust, please complete the attached form and return it as per the instructions.

In addition, there are various other ways you can support the club, for example through the club lottery which is £5 per month, purchasing of merchandise on matchdays, as well as 50:50 tickets and the matchday raffle. We also have season tickets available for fans at a cost of £80 for adults and £55 for concessions. Please feel free to contact me by return of this email, or speak to one of us on matchdays for further details.
