It’s official! AFC Rushden & Diamonds are now a community benefit society.
The clubs constitution has now been accredited by the Financial Services Authority and we are now one of the first football clubs in the country to be set up as a community benefit society.
Acting Chairman Ralph Burditt announced the news exclusively on the BBC Non League show after the 1-0 victory over Daventry on Monday night.
The constitution not only ensures that any profits made by the club must be reinvested, but protects the club by safeguarding the club from any future asset stripping.
