The management committee of the 1895 Trust would like to sincerely apologise for the lack of activity and communication over the recent past. At a time when things on and off the pitch at the club are improving, we acknowledge that this is not up to the standards fans have come to expect.
The committee has recently been meeting to address how we can keep the Trust functioning. Foremost in our thoughts has been the not insignificant number of people who have continued to pay subscriptions to the Trust, as well as the historical contributions also.
Your continued support has meant the balance within the Trust’s accounts, which continue to be audited and subject to financial controls, currently exceeds €68,000. To aid in accountability and transparency, we have published accounts for the past number of years on our website. Figures for 2025 are pending the completion of the audit. You can view these here.
We are holding an AGM on March 27th at 7:30pm in the Tolka Bar, and would greatly welcome active and lapsed members, as well as any other interested Shels fans, to attend. At this AGM we intend to begin the process of reforming and renewing the management committee. We would like to gather expressions of interest, ahead of formal nominations opening. You can email shelstrust@gmail.com for more information.
We will also outline some options for the role of the Trust going forward and would appreciate the engagement of all Shels fans in this regard. Again, please feel free to email us about this or any other matter.
Thank you.
The Management Committee of the 1895 Trust
