Fifteen Years and many donations later…
On 6th September 2003 we wrote the first cheque for the football club on behalf of BRST. The value was £120 for sponsoring the kit of Mark McCormick. Three months later we bought 2000 shares for £2000 which set us on the way to becoming one of the biggest shareholders in the club.
Since those early days the cheques have kept coming and we have made many finance contributions to the football club. Without the efforts of you the Trust membership, it is unlikely would have benfited from this finance. In that period only the Supporter’s Club have provided more finance to Berwick Rangers. Proving that, although we may all be individual supporters, collectively we have made a significant contribution to the finances at Shielfield.
Below are listed all of the payments made to the club and the reasons for those payments.

The above does not include items such as donations of stock made from the shop to the club (totalling in the region of £700) and the reserve team programmes, sales of which go straight to the reserves (approx. £500).
We broke through the £100,000 landmark at the end of 2018. This is not our achievement, it is your achievement.
Congratulations to each and every one of you, the people who have made this happen.
