A note from GCST on stadium payments & back payments.

I hope you are well.

As many of you will know, Grangemouth Community Sports Trust has been pleased to make Grangemouth Stadium available free of charge while they have been getting established. We are grateful for the positive relationship we have built with the Trust during this period.

To help ensure the long-term viability of the Trust’s ownership of the stadium, we are kindly asking members to consider setting up a small monthly donation as a gesture of thanks for this use. Even a modest contribution would make a meaningful difference, helping us build a sustainable mix of funding to support the facility and the community programmes they deliver.

GCST is a registered charity (OSCR Charity No. SC053935) dedicated to creating and sustaining accessible, high-quality sports and community facilities for Grangemouth and the surrounding area. Our vision is to promote active, inclusive participation in sport and recreation (across age groups and communities) and to support local clubs, youth development and community wellbeing. Running the stadium is a key part of that vision: your support helps us maintain the grounds, cover running costs, and continue offering the space at minimal or no cost to community clubs and organisations.

Due to the challenges with getting the Trust fully operational in 2025, it is estimated that over £20k of anticipated income has been lost due to having to give members free access to the facility for training until recently. To help ensure the long-term viability of the Trust’s ownership of the stadium, we are kindly asking members to consider making either a one-off or regular donation as a gesture of thanks for this use. Even a modest contribution would make a meaningful difference, helping us build a sustainable mix of funding to support the facility and the community programmes they deliver.

If you are able to contribute, donations can be set up quickly via the link below:

Those not already signed up for the monthly membership can do so here at http://www.gcst.justGo.com by selecting the “Athletics Membership”. There is also a PAYG option.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. It is greatly appreciated.

Best wishes
