Following early consultation with the Voice of the Fans group, it was agreed to issue a charter of their responsibilities to define to the wider fanbase, as follows:

1. Introduction

The Voice of the Fans is established to provide a structured and independent channel through which supporters of Scunthorpe United can contribute to the development, governance, and culture of our football club. This Charter sets out our purpose, principles, and commitments to ensure that the views of the fanbase are heard, respected, and acted upon by the club leadership wherever possible.

2. Purpose

The primary purpose of the Voice of the Fans is to:

• Represent the collective interests of supporters in dialogue with the club by providing scope for particular areas of supporter influence: Stadium improvements; community initiatives; Club Policies; (club crest being an example).
• Strengthen the relationship between the club and its fanbase.
• Ensure that decisions affecting supporters are informed by meaningful consultation.

3. Core Principles

The Voice of the Fans will operate in accordance with the following principles:

4. Encouraging cooperation between supporter groups to foster solidarity and shared purpose by providing a centralised and shared discussion/communication route with the club.

• Reporting: Outcomes and actions from meetings will be communicated publicly in a timely and transparent manner via meeting notes on the club website.

7. Review and Amendment

This Charter will be reviewed on an annual basis to ensure it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with the interests of supporters and the club. Amendments may be made following consultation with both the fanbase and the club. The representatives involved in the Voice of the Fans will also be reviewed on a regular basis within the same manner.
