The Well Society - Introducing our member education course

[Speedie85]

At Motherwell we’re rightfully proud that our club was the first fan-owned top-flight football club in the United Kingdom. The Well Society is now about to embark on its next pioneering initiative by launching Scottish football’s first ever education course on Supporter Ownership and Community Building. 

A product of the work currently being undertaken by the Well Society membership workstream, the course will be led by David Stewart, a senior lecturer at the University of Central Lancashire. It will introduce members to the history and ideas behind supporter ownership as well as exploring the range of ways in which supporter owned clubs can promote community building. It will be a course made by the fans for the fans!

In order to move this project forward, the Society will be holding a workshop on Monday 13th January to consult the membership and recruit interested attendees to participate in the member education network which will work alongside David to co-create the course. 

This is our club and our future. The member education course is the next step in building a sustainable and vibrant fan-ownership model to ensure that the Well Society is an informed, member-led force for good in the local community. Come along and help to lead the change!

Well Society members can join one of our engagement sessions during January by registering here.
