“Our goal is to promote sustainable spectator sports clubs based on supporters' involvement & community ownership”

What do we do?

* Supporters Direct campaigns for the wider recognition of the social, cultural and economic value of sports clubs

* Sports clubs and competitions are increasingly being put at risk by short-term vested interests, poor financial management and inadequate standards of governance; we are the UK's leading body working to ensure that clubs are run responsibly and are financially sustainable

* Supporters Direct aims to create the conditions in which supporters can secure influence and ownership of sports clubs

* Supporters Direct promotes the value of supporter ownership to sports fans, empowering them to set up supporters' trusts or become members of existing trusts

* Supporters Direct provides guidance and support to groups in more than 16 countries throughout Europe

* Supporters Direct is a community benefit society, owned by its members

So if you're just an interested individual, existing supporters' trust member, activist or you're someone who wants to know some more about us, don't be shy; join in and become part of the debate, and stay in touch with the latest news.
