When the Trust was formed the then Chairman attended the first meeting. The Trust have supported the club in many ways, working for no payment on the maintenance at the ground for several summers, run away travel, worked in the shop and paid for the merchandise and shirts up front so saving the club having to pay out this money and as a consequence saving them the loss on merchandise when they changed the name of the club and the considerable losses made on shirts over several seasons, when the shirts have been changed at short notice.
The Trust have paid for a total refurbishment of the sound /tannoy at the ground/ roof repairs, donations towards players wages,cash donations and other smaller things like bikes for the players a TV for the manager to name but two.
The Trust did get a small percentage of the total back as shares. The trust hold 4-5% of EUFC Ltd. (newly reduced due to the MyFC takeover).
