Mission Statement:
At the Newcastle United Supporters Trust (NUST), our mission is to champion the interests and passion of Newcastle United’s loyal supporters through a forward-thinking, democratically governed, and legally constituted non-profit organisation. We are dedicated to acting as responsible guardians of the club’s future, ensuring that Newcastle United is run competently and in the best interests of its supporters.
We commit to:
- **Advocacy and Accountability:** Monitoring the management of the club and critiquing when it fails to serve its supporters' interests, whilst also offering constructive solutions drawn from our members' diverse experience, expertise and opinions.
- **Transparency and Integrity:** Upholding the highest standards of financial and operational transparency through professionally prepared annual accounts, regular financial reports to the Financial Conduct Authority, and adherence to a robust constitution and set of rules.
- **Democratic Engagement:** Ensuring that our Board is democratically elected by our members, reflecting a true representation of our community.
- **Collaboration and Influence:** Leveraging our affiliation with The Football Supporters Association and connections with other supporters’ groups to amplify our voice and effectiveness in advocating for the supporters’ interests.
As a non-profit organisation, we pledge that no Board member will receive financial or other benefits, focusing solely on the collective good of Newcastle United and its passionate supporters. Together, we strive to create a future where the club and its community thrive in harmony.
The Trust represents its members.
Every member is eligible to stand for election and to vote for candidates for the NUST board which will be accountable to all NUST members. The Trust is legally registered and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Any money raised or shares bought will belong to all members equally. The trust produces independent annual accounts and provides regular updates to members through meetings, newsletters, emails and website.
We now have over 10,500 members across 35 countries.
