About

What is the Trust all about?

The basic definition of a Trust is a democratic, not-for-profit fund-raising organisation of supporters, committed to strengthening the voice of supporters in the decision making process at a club, and strengthening the links between the club and its supporters and the community it serves, particularly in the area of sport that the supporters and their club participate in.

What does the Trust do for Newport RFC?

The WRU is the organisation that primarily funds Newport RFC with payment of approx £50,000 per annum. This amount is barely sufficient to run a semi-professional team let alone pay for things such as administration, maintenance, bills, transport, youth development, etc. At the moment, individuals who have put vast sums of money into the club are paying many of these costs. But what happens when they are no longer available to do this? The Trust is there to help avoid financial problems for the club in future years. It does that by providing a mechanism by which many supporters can donate small sums of money that, when pooled into one resource, can make a substantial difference.
