In mid-2019 Tony Van Gorp and Colin Thom came up with an idea to assist players in the club and improve the facilities. A meeting was called in August 2019 and plans were outlined to club members. Later, some club members were approached to become Trustees. They were: Tony Van Gorp, Richard Johnston, Darryl Swann, Dusty Quinn, Dave Johnston and Gary McConville.
A bank account was sought and with the help of Paul Buckner, a lawyer from Downie-Stewart, a Trust deed was created. The Trust was formally launched on 31 January 2020.
