Becoming a full member of the Trust is a way for Blues to get organised and have a collective voice that represents the interests of current and future supporters. It’s a place for City supporters to come together to protect the culture and heritage of our club, at the same time as building links with our local communities for the benefit of all. Joining the Trust offers you a voice, power and the ability to be an equal shareholder in a democratic organisation that gives your interests a platform.
When you join the Trust as a full adult member, you will be :
We’d welcome under 18s joining the Trust, but they cannot legally become shareholders or have voting rights until they reach 18. We encourage families and younger members to join and get involved anyway – the youth are the future and we have a duty to represent you too. We’re planning exciting ways to support and develop the skills of Junior members to be able to take up key roles in the Trust in the future. Watch this space!
To join as a Junior Member, you must be under 18 on the day you register for membership. To join as a Young Adult you must be aged between 18 and 25 on the day you register. To join as a Senior Member, you must be over 65 on the day you register for membership. You can apply for more than one membership using the same form for yourself and any other people in your household.

Membership in any category will be just £5.00 – so what are you waiting for? Join today… offer ends on 21 April 2026. After this date normal membership fees will apply – see below for details.

The Trust is entirely funded through membership fees and any donations we’re lucky enough to receive from supporters. We are a volunteer-led, not for profit organisation, and while our work is primarily managed by those volunteers, there are inevitably associated administrative costs. So, we strongly encourage you to become a paid member of the Trust, and have kept membership fees as low as possible to make membership accessible to all. But we also understand that even this might still be unaffordable for some, and offer a no cost alternative way of keeping up to date with our work.

The data will help us to provide better quality information for monitoring purposes and support our anti-discrimination duties under the Equality Act 2010. We have opted for the agreed list of ethnic groups and gender identity categories used in the Census for England and Wales.

To contact you with offers, invitations to Trust events and newsletters, we will use the email address you registered with to contact you. When member inboxes become full or if your email account is otherwise unavailable, and emails are subsequently returned to us undelivered, we will make a further attempt to contact those account holders to re-subscribe but, if unsuccessful, those email addresses will permanently be removed from our mailing list. You can help by marking our address info@tct as a ‘friendly’ email in your Spam filters, and also by letting us know of any changes to your contact details as soon as possible so we can update our records. If you realise that you haven’t been receiving regular emails from us, and have checked your Spam inbox, please contact membership@thecitizenstrust.org with your details and we’ll be happy to help you.
