KHIST Celebrates 20 Years
As some of our members may be aware we celebrate our 20th anniversary as a trust this month and in recognition of this we would like to acknowledge and celebrate some of the milestones that the trust and its members have achieved over this time.
The Trust was instrumental in leading the successful campaign to save the club from potential liquidation. It’s generally recognised that, without the Trust’s involvement, it’s most unlikely that the club would have survived.
2005 – Walk to Grays Athletic- raising £700.
2007 – Cover the pitch at Aggborough campaign- raising funds for pitch cover.
2007-2009 Red army campaign – raising funds for boosting KHFC squad.
2009 – Walk to Histon raising funds for the air ambulance.
2010 – Sons of Beaches concert – raising nearly £1,000 for KHFC.
2011 – Re run of Birmingham City v Harriers 3rd round FA Cup game.
2011 – Operation full house – raising additional £40,000 through raising clubs profile.
2011 – Walk to Forest Green Rovers – raising £36,000 for Macmillan in memory of former KHIST Chairman, Steve Millington.
2014 – KHIST obtains an asset of community value covering Aggborough.
2015 – Walk to AFC Telford raising nearly £20,000 for HUGS charity.
2017 – Walk to Gloucester City raising £15,000 for Birmingham QE hospital in memory of local teacher, Beckie Giddins.
2019 – Pre season Aggborough clean up.
2020 – Boost the budget – KHIST donates £1,000 to KHFC.
2021 – Pre season Aggborough clean up.
2022 – Walk to AFC Leamington raising £2,200 for HUGS charity in memory of former KHIST Chairman, Ian Nash.
2022 – Pre season Aggborough clean up.
Since 2009 KHIST has also made sizable donations to the football club to assist with overnight stays for the first team squad, pay for scouting systems and contribute towards loan signings needed by KHFC at critical points of the season.
We very much hope that in the near future a harmonious relationship the football club will be reestablished and we will be able to add to the achievements listed above.
Here’s to the next 20 years!
