How to get involved in the Trust?

Being an active Trust Member can be quite rewarding, as you will be playing a positive role within the Bradford City community that we can all identify with.

It can be as much or as little as involvement as you like, as we are all busy people with job and family commitments.

Playing a role in the Trust can mean a variety of things; it can mean attending meetings, providing ideas of things we can do to promote the Trust and raise money to keep us going whilst at the same time provide benefits to members; it can mean planning and organising public events to raise money for various community initiatives that are inclusive and encourage diversity and a coming together; it can mean having good listening skills or public speaking. You may be good with figures, or someone who likes writing and taking notes.

Think about work roles; what do you do well at when you are at work? IT; writing reports; applying for funding of projects; commercial experience; social media, promoting events, speaking to the public, supporting people in their homes, schools, colleges, universities or in the community; you maybe good at motivating people; or enjoy working in a team. Communication is a vital ingredient of what the Trust is about on so many levels, from engaging with the Club, communicating with members and communicating within the Trust Board and with our affiliated colleagues within the Football Supporters Association (FSA).

What is the Trust Board?

The Trust Board is an elected body of Trust members that represent the Trust collectively and accountable to you, the members. These Board members are volunteer directors and run the day-to-day business of the Trust, having meetings once a month. It’s three key director roles consist of a Chair, Secretary and Treasurer.

Being a Trust Board member can give you experiences to put on your CV.

Training is regularly offered and you will always feel supported.

As a member, you can express an interest in volunteering and being co-opted by us at any time of the year, or you can stand for election at our AGM by filling in a nomination form.  

Our Trust Board meetings are once a month, usually at the Jacobs Well in Bradford City Centre near the Interchange, and we encourage interested members to come to them. Members will see the details in their emails from us.

The AGM, or Annual General Meeting, is our highest democratic body that discusses how we have developed, encouraging debate and a discussion about the tasks we have ahead of us and how we need to improve and reach out. We also vote on adopted policies that improve how we are organisationally, democratically and accountably.
