About us

Luton Town Supporters’ Trust – or LTST – is for the fans of Luton Town Football Club.

President – John Moore

What is the Luton Town Supporters’ Trust?

A Supporters’ Trust is a formal, democratic, non-profit organisation run by fans for fans. The purpose of a Trust is to help fans to join together and strengthen their influence over the way their club is run, and to improve the links between their club and the community it serves.

In a way, we’re like a union, believing that many voices are stronger than one and that the best way to influence the club is to represent many fans, not just ourselves.

Our aims are to secure the future of the Club, keeping the Club with the fans where it belongs.  Luton Town Supporters’ Trust was formed as an Industrial and Provident Society but, following the abolition of Industrial and Provident Societies, is now registered under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014.

You may be familiar with the Football Supporters’ Association (FSA).  It is our national equivalent; taking forward campaigns that affect all fans of all clubs. We will work with the FSA on several campaigns over the coming seasons.

Board members are elected annually, and anyone who is a paid member of the Trust can stand for election. Trust Board members are fans, the same as any of you and are not paid by or recompensed in any other way by LTFC. Or anyone else for that matter!

We also have several Working Groups who help on specific projects and we’re always keen to have new members for these. However much or little time you have and whatever skills you can offer, we can find a use for you, so please don’t be shy.

What is our Vision?

Luton Town Supporters’ Trust has an aspiration to

“Become the best football Supporters’ Trust in England, to the benefit of our fans, our members, the Club and our community – and for the good of football”.

We have a long history, excitement about Championship football and optimism about the future of our team and our community.

We have defended the Club in the tough times and maintain a shareholding in the Club to ensure we are able to protect and celebrate the future. We act as custodian of the image rights of the Club – to protect the Club name, kit colours, Club crest and mascot for the long-term interests of the Club.

And like our Club, we have integrity. We believe in fair play and are committed to represent the fans and influence the regulation and its enforcement of football. And to collaborate with other Trusts to share our ideas, learn from best practice and presented a stronger voice to the authorities.

We offer exclusive benefits, podcasts and meet the manager and players events and are committed to continually improving the experience of the Hatters’ fans, bringing the team closer to the fans and bringing the supporters’ voice into the boardroom, validating proposed activities and decisions that impact the fans.

We encourage the fans and the wider community to get involved, to enjoy the thrill (the ups and the downs!) of supporting Luton Town, and we raise money for both the fans and the community/charity, along with the Club, to help with immediate needs as we have seen during the recent COVID crisis, and to build a better future through significant capital projects.

The Trust has identified four core strategies:

1. Protect and support LTFC.
