HOW YOUR MEMBERSHIP
FEE IS SPENT

Every membership fee matters. The Trust is run entirely by volunteers, so every pound goes back into the community, the club and the causes Forest fans care about. Here's where your membership went this year.

Where the Money Went

Women's Football
Funding Marian, The New Mascot

The Trust funded Marian, the new mascot for Nottingham Forest Women, unveiled in September 2025. A visible commitment to ensuring the women's team has the same representation, support and matchday identity as the men's side.

Local Community Projects
Ringfenced for the Year Ahead

A further amount has been ringfenced specifically for local community projects in 2026, to be allocated by the board to initiatives that benefit Forest fans, the Nottingham community, and causes aligned with the Trust's values. Members will be asked for their priorities to inform how this fund is distributed.

How decisions are made: The Trust board, elected by members, decides how membership fees are allocated to ensure they go where supporters want them to go. All allocations are reported transparently and discussed at the AGM. If you have ideas for causes or initiatives the Trust should support, contact us at [email protected].
