On Sunday 4th February 2024, the Shrimpers Trust Board will be holding an online surgery with Trust members to explore options concerning the outstanding loan of £40,000 made to Southend United Football Club in November 2022.

The surgery will begin at 1:00pm, lasting no more than 90 minutes, and will provide some background as to how we arrived at the current position, although the primary focus will be to obtain views and opinions about how we move forwards.

At the recent Shrimpers Trust Annual General Meeting, Southend United FC consortium leader Justin Rees challenged the Shrimpers Trust to decide what, as an organisation, we wanted to do with the £40,000 loan.

The surgery discussion will be fed back to the next Shrimpers Trust Board Meeting, scheduled for the following evening, and will also help provide options for a forthcoming Shrimpers Trust survey, to ensure we best represent the views of our members.
