Swansea City Supporters’ Trust is pleased to announce it has been awarded a permanent position on the Swansea City AFC Foundation Board of Trustees.
This will allow both organisations to work closer together on various initiatives and projects that are in line with some of their core principles.
The Foundation (formally known as the Community Trust) has existed for 14 years as the club’s registered charity and has worked with many thousands of people on a number of innovative projects.
More details of the Foundation can be found on the club’s website here: https://www.swanseacity.com/swansea-city-afc-foundation
There are aspects that the Trust and Foundation believe they can work closer on in the future, particularly on inclusion, education and youth engagement, and this new and permanent position on the Foundation board, will allow the collaboration to become more structured.
The very first Swans Trust representative on the Foundation Board will be our Associate Director Sian Davies seen pictured here with the Head of Foundation, Helen Elton, after the Foundation Board meeting at the end of March.
Helen Elton commented, “I have had a number of productive meetings with the Trust, and I am delighted to have a representative join our Board. Strategically, I believe it strengthens relationships across the Club and gives us a more unified approach to community matters. And on a personal note, I think Sian will be a real asset to our Board.”
Sian Davies added, “I am delighted to be given the opportunity to be the first official representative of the Swans Trust on the Board of the Foundation. I am excited about the future as I believe both organisations have a number of similar aims and objectives and bringing the working relationship of the Foundation and the Trust closer together can only benefit both organisations and the communities we serve.”
Looking ahead we will provide more updates to members and supporters via our website and social media platforms covering some of the supporter related initiatives that the Trust and the Foundation will be working on.
