OASST celebrate another landmark year with strong community impact and growing support in 2025

The Official Accrington Stanley Supporters Trust (OASST) has marked another outstanding year of progress and community impact by publishing their 2025 figures.

Throughout the year, the OASST delivered a broad programme of events and initiatives designed to enhance engagement and enjoyment for supporters.

These included the successful upgrade of the big screen at the Wham Stadium, the Jack Barrett Memorial Walk, Memorabilia Night, a Children’s Christmas Party, and a range of other activities that brought fans together while celebrating the club’s heritage.

The scale of the OASST’s contribution is reflected in its latest figures.

More than £9,000 was donated to local good causes, reinforcing their role at the heart of the community.

Club1968, the trust’s monthly lottery, paid out £23,200 in prizes during the year while continuing to raise funds to improve the supporters’ experience at the Wham Stadium.

Each month, one Accrington Stanley supporter wins a £1,000 jackpot, with seven further winners receiving prizes of £500, £250, £200, £100, or three £50 awards, all for an entry cost of £10 per month. Membership of Club1968 has now grown to 420 participants.

Matchday fundraising and retail activity also proved popular, with 2,638 badges sold through regular matchday sales and from the OASST shop in the Arndale.

In addition, trust volunteers donated an impressive 4,350 hours across a wide range of projects, highlighting the dedication and commitment of supporters who give their time to support both club and community.

Overall membership continues to grow, with the trust now counting 544 members alongside 100 Junior Redz, reflecting strong engagement across all age groups.

The trust’s annual Remembrance Day service at the memorial garden at the Wham Stadium was attended by 53 supporters, while away travel remained a key service, recording 1,948 fan journeys and covering a total of 2,846 miles in support of the team.

Peter Leatham, OASST chairman, said: “It has been another great year for the OASST and one we can all be very proud of.

"None of this would be possible without the hard work of our volunteers and the continued support of our members, partners and the wider fanbase.

"Thank you to everyone involved especially the hardworking members of the trust board, who freely and willingly give so much of their time. There is a lot to look forward to as we head into 2026 and we are excited to build on the momentum we have created together.”
