EVEN SWINDON & TRUST STFC
Even Swindon are proud to be supporting the Trust STFC
Primary Schools Campaign which was launched this week.
Our head boy and girl, and their deputies, were lucky
enough to be involved in the launch at the County Ground,
and were featured on the back page of the Swindon Advertiser.
The aim of the campaign is to get more children and their
families to re-connect with their local football team, Swindon Town. Trust STFC will be working on behalf of both
local schools and community groups to improve facilities
for families attending matches and will be looking at introducing a family area, and securing reduced prices in an effort to attract the next generation of football supporters.
Your child will have been given a leaflet to take home giving more details about Trust STFC and how you can join
them and support Swindon
Town.
