Directors, Co-operative formation & More!
We are now an approved Co-Operative! We have formed to enable fans to get a real stake in the club. A big thank you to the Business Council of Co-Operatives and Mutuals and CEO Melina Morrison (pictured)!
Our next goal is to offer a CCMFC community ownership share offering for season 2021/22 !
What you can do now:
The CCM Supporters Trust aims to be a community investment vehicle to support the Central Coast Mariners FC and keep the Club on the Central Coast.
The CCM Supporters Trust started as an idea in late 2020. The CCM Supporters Trust decided to form a co-operative committed to strengthening the voice for supporters in the decision making process at the club. We will also look to strengthen the links between the club and community. We seek to benefit CCMFC by channelling the passion of loyal supporters into an organisation that is legally constituted and democratic. We will work with fans across the Central Coast and the rest of the world, the Club and other organisations. We will work with and benefit the local community and seek to strengthen the ties between the Club and the local area. We will act responsibly as a guardian of the future of Central Coast Mariners FC and a supporting investment vehicle.

What is a Co-operative?
Co-operatives are democratic organisations that are owned and controlled by their members. Co-operatives are different from public companies because voting rights are based on membership (ie. one member, one vote) rather than shareholding.
Co-ops are businesses that create value to share among their members and their communities. They are the original ‘social enterprises’.
Please see a list of NSW Co-operative businesses here and a video here.
