What is Derry City Supporters' Trust?
Derry City Supporters' Trust is a formal, democratic, not-for-profit organisation owned equally by each of its members. It has been set up to help give Derry City supporters a degree of representation and influence at the Club they support.
The Supporters Trust has been formally registered as an Industrial and Providential Society under the Industrial and Provident Societies Acts (NI) 1969 and 1976. Company Number IP393.
We are NOT a supporters club. The business of a trust is primarily to represent the supporters to the club as opposed to the traditional supporters club role of representing the club to the supporters. We aim to purchase shares in the club and gain board representation to ensure that the voice of the supporters is heard and heeded.
What are the aims of the Trust?
The aim of the Derry City Supporters' Trust is to further the cause of Derry City Football Club, to strengthen the links between the club and the wider community, and to represent the views of the supporters for the continued benefit of the club.
Why should I join the Trust?
The Derry City Supporters Trust is NOT a supporters club. Supporters clubs serve a vital function at football clubs up and down the land. But the supporters’ trust is independent and aims to gain fan representation at the club, so that the voice of the supporters - the lifeblood of the club - is heard and heeded, while maintaining and upholding the ethics of governance and transparency in all our dealings at the behest of our membership.
How much does it cost to join?
It costs just £10 for adults and £5 for children, while OAPs can join the trust for a mere £8. As well as personal membership, we also offer a family (2 adults + 2 children) membership for £20.
What will I get for my membership fee?
The first pound of your membership fee makes you a shareholder in Derry City Supporters Trust and gives you a vote in all Trust matters - which will allow you to directly influence Trust policy, and you will be privy to the dealings of the trust. And vitally, your money may be used to assist the club in a whole variety of ways, based upon decisions made by the Trust members.
