WYCOMBE WANDERERS TRUST: WHAT IS IT FOR?

Why Wycombe Wanderers Trust?

Wycombe Wanderers Trust has been formed from its two predecessors - the Founders Trust and the Supporters Trust.

Whilst the two had been working closely together, the merger helps to overcome a number of problems. Supporter representation to the Club was fragmented. There was confusion among Wanderers fans about the roles and responsibilities of the two Trusts. There was twice the call on the time of those willing to work for the Trusts. And there was a lot of overlap in the membership, with members of both required to pay two fees and the Trusts having to bear the costs of two lots of administration.

Building on our strengths

There is no impact from the merger on the key strengths of the individual Trusts. Wycombe Wanderers Trust retains both seats on the Football Club Board and the Supporters Trust’s £100,000 shareholding. It will continue to have the same say in the safeguarding of the Club’s heritage as the Founders Trust. But crucially, it will also provide a single voice and a more efficient use of supporters’ time and money.

Increasing involvement

Wycombe Wanderers Trust aims to:
- represent supporters’ interests in the Club through two Directors elected to the Club Board
- continue to protect the Club’s heritage
- increase membership and involvement
- provide a clear point of supporter contact for the PLC
- enhance community involvement with the Club
- improve communication with supporters
- be inclusive and affordable to all

Our short-term aims are to increase the Trust membership from the current 365 Chairboys fans and to advise our members on the current developments over the Club finances, the new ground and the 25% shareholding threshold.

Membership is only £10 (less for concessions). Join up here.
