Supporters Direct Information

Supporters Direct campaigns for the wider recognition of the social, cultural and economic value of sports clubs. We promote the value of supporter ownership to sports fans, empowering them to set up supporters'​ trusts or become members of existing trusts, and take an active role in the way their club is run. 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. We have a history of creating the conditions in which supporters can secure influence and ownership of sports clubs, providing guidance and support to groups in more than 20 countries throughout Europe.
