📣 POP-UP MUSEUM UPDATE ⚽🏛️

Almost a year ago, we began a journey to preserve the history of St Helens Town AFC — and we’re now ready to take the next step. 💙⚽

Since our launch at Lucem House Community Cinema last December, you’ve been incredibly generous in supporting our Pop-Up Museum project.

You’ve donated photographs, programmes, shirts, badges, memorabilia and all sorts of fascinating pieces of St Helens Town AFC history. We’ve also had people get in touch with offers of memories and stories from their time connected to the club.

As we mentioned in our last update, our next job was to start cataloguing everything we had received.

Well… we’ve been busy! 📦🗂️

We’ve been carefully working our way through the collection, recording and cataloguing the items that have been entrusted to us.

And now we’re ready for the part we’ve been really looking forward to…

💭 COLLECTING YOUR MEMORIES.

Because the Pop-Up Museum isn't just about the objects.

A programme might tell us who played in a match.
A photograph might show us who was there.
A shirt might tell us which season it came from.

But your memories tell us what it was really like to be there. ❤️

Were you a player, coach, volunteer or committee member?

Did you follow the club home and away?

Do you remember a particular match, player, manager or moment?

Did you meet your friends — or perhaps even your partner — through St Helens Town?

Maybe you have a funny story, a special memory or simply a recollection of what match days were like.

We want to hear them all.

📖 Over the coming weeks, we’ll be starting to contact those who have already offered to share their memories, as well as inviting more people to come forward.

So if you've been waiting patiently for us to get in touch, we haven't forgotten you! 😊

And if you haven't spoken to us yet but have a story to tell, we'd love to hear from you.

The history of St Helens Town AFC since 1901 isn't just held in trophies, programmes and photographs.

It's held in the memories of the people who were there.

And now, we're ready to start bringing those memories together. 💙⚽

What a performance for our Hope 5-aside team. They won 5 out of 5 in Tuesday’s Liverpool Homeless Football Club League. We now stand an outside chance of winning the premier league on the final day next month 🤞

As always HUGE thanks to Ducy of Lancaster Coalfields Regeneration Trust and Primary Care 24 charity Health 24 for making this all happen 💛💙

⚽️ VOLUNTEER WANTED – ARE YOU A BIT HANDY WITH EBAY OR VINTED? ⚽️

We’re looking for one or two lovely volunteers who could spare a little time to help us turn some old football programmes into much-needed funds for Town in the Town CIC. 💙⚽️

The good news is… we’ve already done the sorting! 🙌

The programmes are already grouped into small bundles and ready to go – we just need someone who is comfortable using eBay or Vinted to help us:

📸 Add the bundles
⌨️ Input the information
💷 List them for sale

That’s it!

Every penny raised will go back into Town in the Town CIC, helping us continue our football, community and heritage activities in St Helens.

You don’t need to be a football expert – although if you enjoy football programmes, eBay, Vinted or generally having a good rummage through football history, even better!

🍺 Payment: Our eternal gratitude… plus a b**r, brew, cake, chocolate or other treat of your choice! 😁

Could you help us get these programmes off the shelf, online and raising a few quid for the community?

👉 Drop us a message if you can help – or please share/tag someone who might enjoy doing this!

⚽️💙 A little bit of your time could make a big difference to what we can do.
