What is Torquay United Supporters' Trust?
Torquay United Supporters' Trust is a not-for-profit, Industrial and Provident Society (IPS), set up to help give Torquay United supporters a voice about their club.
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. |
TUST board members recently meet
with the club's new consortium. |

What are the aims of the trust?
This is best summed up through our mission statement: "The aim of the Torquay United Supporters' Trust is to further the cause of Torquay United Football Club, to strengthen the links between the club and the wider community of Torbay and South Devon, and to represent the views of the supporters for the continued benefit of the club."
Why should I join the trust?
The Torquay United 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 £12.50 for adults and £5 for children, while OAPs, students and unemployed persons can join the trust for a mere £6. As well as personal membership, we also offer a corporate membership.
What will I get for my membership fee?
Most importantly, you will have a vote 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.
You will receive an enamel badge and a quarterly magazine. As for junior members, while they will not have a vote, they will receive all the benefits of our exclusive children's package.
