The Trustees
-
Sam moved to Woking in 2012, a lifelong football fan he quickly became a regular attendee at Woking FC. When his son joined the Youth Academy at U9 a chance meeting with then manager Alan Dowson led to sponsorship of the first team and ultimately a place on the Board of Woking FC. During his two year tenure on the Board he was part of the team that successfully navigated the ‘covid’ season and the ‘Get behind the shirt’ campaign. Sam was also the Woking FC liaison director with Cardinals in the Community and has sponsored the Youth Academy for several seasons. Since stepping down from the Woking FC board he has maintained a close link with Cardinals in the Community and is very much looking forward to bringing his multi-faceted knowledge and experience of CITC to the Charity.

Trevor has lived in the Woking area since 1968. He has been a Woking FC supporter for more than 45 years, assisting his wife Lynne with Junior Cards activities and ensuring that their four boys were fully involved in supporting the club. He spent his career working for a major bank and then a building society, retiring in 2023. Trevor volunteered to assist the CITC trustees with admin work four years ago and this role has developed into the Charity Secretary role he now undertakes
-
Lynne has lived in Woking since she was 4 years old. She and her family were regulars at Woking FC matches and so began a lifelong love for the club. Lynne created the successful Junior Cards in the early 90s and then went on to work with Woking Borough Council to set up Woking Football in the Community, which subsequently developed into CITC. Lynne became a trustee of CITC in 2019 and is also a trustee of another small charity.
