About Us.
The role of the Trust – our vision, values and objectives.
Our role.
The Wycombe Wanderers Trust seeks to protect and enhance the future of Wycombe Wanderers Football Club.
Our vision.
To be a values-driven organisation that seeks to safeguard the heritage and enshrined rights of WWFC, retaining 100% ownership of Adams Park.
Our values.
These are the values by which we will engage with the Club, our supporters and the wider community:
Passion and commitment
Integrity
Open and honest communication
Involvement in decisions
Respecting and promoting the opinions of our members
Our objectives.
- Retain ownership of the Adams Park stadium, through Frank Adams Legacy Ltd and ensure that it is not used as security for Club incurred debt.
- Raise funds in order to ensure WWT is able to retain its 25% share in the Club, its two Directors on the Club board and thus its influence in Club management and decisions.
- Fundraising will be particularly important so that in any future capital raising for the Club, the Trust has sufficient funds available to pay its part of this and thus ensure no dilution of our shareholding takes place.
- Develop a close, open and honest relationship with the majority shareholders, through regular meetings, to ensure we both understand each other’s objectives and motivations.
- The Trust board will consult with, represent and support the membership, updating activities regularly to the membership, the wider WWFC fanbase and the wider community.
- Hold monthly Trust board meetings that are open to all Trust members to attend.
- Work with WWFC to market and promote a positive image of Wycombe Wanderers in order to increase the fan base and income and improve the matchday experience for fans.
To build the membership of WWT, particularly among the under-24 generation, so as to ensure the growth and continuity of WWT.
- Work closely with WWSET to promote and expand the reach of Wycombe Wanderers into the community.
