November 2024

Welcome to the first of what I hope will be monthly updates from the Gloucester City Supporters’ Trust.

£1,000,000 raised by the Trust
Since we were formed in February 2001, we have raised more than £1m – a terrific effort made possible by the hard work of our predecessors on the Trust board and the generosity of many individual fans. Thanks to everyone who has donated over the years. Who knows where the club would be today without your efforts?

New members
We have had three new members join us in the last month, bringing our membership up to 110. If you’d like to join us, you can do so here.

Club shop – open for Xmas goodies
All merchandise is now in stock and on sale. The shop is fully open and stocked, including replica shirts. We’re open before and after the game on matchdays and from 6-8pm every Thursday evening until Christmas.

Sponsor a goal
You may have seen on the COF, this fundraiser has returned due to popular demand. You know how it works: you pledge to pay to the Trust a certain amount per goal, then twice a season you’re asked to settle up.
This time round supporters have been more creative – individuals have pledged £2 per Harry Pinchard goal, £5 per clean sheet and £2.50 per Ed Williams goal & £5 per home attendance over 1,000.
If you would like to join in, raising money for the Trust and having some fun at the same time, email admin@gcafcsupporters.co.uk

Trauma bag
Following a couple of recent emergency medical incidents involving a player and a spectator at the Tiger Turf Stadium,  The Trust has purchased a trauma bag for use by anyone in the ground who needs it.
Costing around £700, the bag holds a variety of medical supplies and equipment to support people in need of emergency care before an ambulance arrives.

GCST membership cards and car stickers 
Trust membership cards are now available for collection in the club shop. Remember to show it at the shop for a 10% on Trust stock (this does not include replica shirts). Free car stickers for members are on their way!

Foundation kit
We agreed to donate £500 towards the purchase of kit for coaches being trained by the FA for the Gloucester City Foundation – a new venture that sees the Trust and the club working together alongside local partners and sponsors to run community projects with the simple aim of improving the lives of people in Gloucester. More details here.

Re-elected chair 
Finally, on a personal note, I was honoured to be re-elected as chair a couple of months ago. And I’m delighted to say Matt Phillips was elected vice chair, with Trevor King re-elected as treasurer.

All Trust board members are volunteers, giving up our time to help the football club we love. If you would like to know how you can help, please again contact us at admin@gcafcsupporters.co.uk
