ABOUT WE ARE PORTS
We Are Ports (WAP) was set up in 2017 by a group of Portadown Football Club supporters.
The group decided to form a democratic membership scheme where everyone has an equal vote and can decide where their financial contributions are spent.
Traditionally there had been a disconnect between the board, the supporters of PFC and the local community. In 2017 the founding members of WAP wanted to see more supporters feeling connected to their club, being brought into the inner workings of the club and having a greater say in its future direction on and off the pitch.
There are currently 112 adult members in We Are Ports, with members based around the world, such as America, Canada, Australia and throughout the U.K. Each member of WAP pays a minimum monthly contribution and in return we have an elected representative on the Portadown Football Club Board of Directors. Our representative provides vital two way communication between our members and the clubs Board of Directors.
Members provide additional finance to all aspects of the club and decide how their money is spent. In return all members receive regular exclusive WAP & PFC news via WhatsApp and electronic Newsletters. We Are Ports also host regular members and community social events/initiatives.

OUR WORK
We Are Ports brings together supporters of Portadown Football Club with the goal of widening and deepening community involvement. Every member of the scheme has a role to play and say in its direction.
Since being established in 2017, WE ARE PORTS members have raised over £60,000 which has gone directly to supporting Portadown FC mens, women's and youth teams, as well as many community initiatives. All the funds raised through WAP have gone towards many essential areas such as providing facilities, funding the invaluable We Are Ports TV, organising community/social events and supporting the board with their hard work away from the pitch.
OUR OBJECTIVES
We Are Ports is a community-based organisation, and we place local people at the heart of our objectives. These objectives fall into 3 categories: Sport & Recreation, Education & Training and Community Needs.
