Save Torquay United - A Bright Future For The Club

Aim

We're fundraising for Torquay United to secure its financial future, protecting the club's heritage and legacy.

Who are we?

We're not just supporters of Torquay United F.C., but enthusiasts of the beautiful game itself. Help safeguard the future of one of the South West's oldest clubs by donating - every contribution counts!

Why are we crowdfunding?

We may not know the full extent of what lies ahead in the coming weeks, months, and year, but for those who cherish our club or simply love football, adversity can be transformed into opportunity. Therefore, we're initiating a crowdfunding campaign to bolster Torquay's future. Countless clubs, both big and small, have weathered similar storms, emerging stronger with their history intact. Let's stand together, regardless of team allegiance, to support the beautiful game and ensure a bright future for one of the South West's finest clubs.

The funds raised will serve as a lifeline for future financial needs, safeguarding the club's heritage and perpetuating its legacy. While the ultimate destination remains uncertain, we are incredibly optimistic about the positive impact we can make. Join us in preserving Torquay United F.C. by donating today.

How we’ll spend the money raised

The allocation of raised funds will be determined by those closely involved with the club. This presents an exciting opportunity to steer the club in a direction that resonates best with the fans and the community. Since the total amount raised is uncertain, we're yet to determine the most effective utilisation of funds. Whether it involves a community-led takeover, supporting club maintenance, or exploring other avenues, we eagerly anticipate transforming the club from its current situation into something vibrant, successful, and meaningful. The fans should play a pivotal role in shaping the club's future, free from bias, greed, or personal gain, as history has shown that such motives rarely benefit any club, regardless of size.

After our 55-day campaign concludes, the allocation of funds will be determined by the total amount raised. While a fan takeover or buyout may seem ambitious, the actual amount raised remains uncertain. Decisions regarding fund utilisation will be made in the following weeks as we gain clarity on the campaign's outcome. We are eager to explore all potential possibilities that may arise.

We have been in contact with TUST (Torquay United Supporters Trust) to ensure all campaign funds raised go through official channels, benefiting the club, fans, players, staff, and the community exclusively.

Community impact

As one of the most significant clubs in the South West of England, with a rich history and promising future, community involvement is paramount. Drawing inspiration from other clubs that have navigated similar challenges, we recognise that community backing and input are indispensable for steering the club towards a positive trajectory.
