Do you want to play a bigger part in the biggest supporters’ organisation for Plymouth Argyle fans?
The Argyle Fans’ Trust is a democratic organisation that works to increase the voice and representation of supporters within the club. That’s not all however – last season we contributed £2,500 to the Club’s Crowdfunder appeal and jointly donated £1,000 to the Jack Leslie campaign with the Exeter and Torquay Supporter Trusts, and this season we are sponsoring Adam Randell (home), Dan Scarr (away) and Poppy Soper from the Ladies team. We also support other causes related to the club and the community such as the Plymouth Foodbank.
The Trust Board aims to be a friendly, inclusive and accessible team, and we’ll do all we can to help new Board members feel welcome and get up to speed. We’re looking for Trust members to stand for election as we seek to fill six places on our Board of twelve people. Whether you’re young or old, a season ticket holder or a new fan, locally based or exiled from the South West, your Trust needs you.
By standing for a place on the AFT Board you can help guide the Trust in the direction you feel would be best for the future. Our goals are to create a strong and proactive relationship between the club, the fans and the wider community. Be in charge of change and stand for the AFT!
