The Aberdeen FC Heritage Trust is an independent charitable organisation working closely with Aberdeen Football Club in order to care for and expand upon the historical record and memorabilia of Aberdeen FC and its supporters and the community it serves.
The idea of setting up a Trust had been in several minds for some time and finally started to come together in the summer of 2008 when the Club's board approved a proposal on the subject. An initial meeting of possible Trustees was held in September 2008 and work began in earnest. As a first step the Trustees approached the Aberdeen Council for Voluntary Organisations (ACVO) for some help and advice and a Trust Deed was drafted. AFC Heritage is a registered Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO), Scottish Charity No. SC051414.
