Nottingham Forest Supporters' Trust, an independent, democratic, non-profit organisation run by fans for fans.

Who We Are

Nottingham Forest Supporters' Trust is an independent, democratic, non-profit organisation run by fans for fans. Our purpose is to help fans to join together and strengthen their collective influence over the way the club is run, and to improve the links between their club and the community it serves. Ultimately it's about giving the most important group in any football community, the fans, a voice.

Individual board members are elected for a 3-year term. Elections are held annually, and anyone who is a paid member of the Trust can stand for election. Trust Board members are fans and are not paid by or recompensed in any other way by the club or anyone else. We are a completely voluntary organisation.

We also have a number of Working Groups who support specific projects or initiatives 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 do get in touch with us if you want to get involved.

Then. Now. Forever. Forest.

The Board

You can find information on our current board members below. From time to time, as demand requires, we co-opt members onto the board to support specific initiatives or areas the Trust is focusing on.

Andy caddell - fab representative

co-opted 2026

In his native North Wales, where the liver bird was the badge of choice for most youngsters, the success of the Reds in the late 70’s started an affinity that would grow and grow before work (and perhaps the lure of being close to The City Ground) eventually sparked a move to Nottingham in 1987. As part of building and establishing a successful marketing agency based in West Bridgford, Andy has a range of business contacts complemented by his extensive experience in negotiation, persuasion, public speaking and working with senior executives of companies of all sizes.
