IT’S BEEN a lot of hard work behind the scenes, but we’re delighted to finally launch the new and improved Red Army Fund.

Supporters now have a vehicle to raise funds that will enable them to play a greater part in the improvement of their club, and we hope it can become established in the Swindon Town community and be around for many years to come.

We met recently with representatives from the club, and they continue to be very supportive, as we work towards delivery of the Trust vision. Whilst we leave them to build another successful team on the pitch, we can concentrate on delivering in other areas.

We’re just getting started - we will be promoting the fund all season long, and we hope that you will give it your full support by signing up to one of our TrustSTFC membership packages.

As the video on our website states: “There are thousands of Swindon Town fans and we all love the club. Imagine if each one gave just a little donation every month?”

If people get behind the Red Army Fund and donate what they can, we will have a constant stream of funding that can not only establish a roof over the Stratton Bank, but also deliver many other things of benefit to the supporter base and community as a whole.

We want you to have fun with this, so please sign up to a membership package, take photos and videos of yourself with the associated benefits like the badge, mug and TrustSTFC shirt, and share them with us and others on social networking sites.

We effectively want our own Swindon Town version of the ‘Ice Bucket Challenge’, so use your imagination and let us know what you’re doing via our Facebook and Twitter accounts.

The benefits we’ve mentioned are exclusively available to Red Army Fund supporters, so be proud and show off your donation towards the cause. Run events to raise money, and encourage your friends, family members and work colleagues to get involved too.

The same applies to those of you within the local business community. Please get involved and give us your support. Together we can all ensure that the Red Army Fund is a huge success.

Your Club, Your Trust.
