I became involved with Raiders in 2022 when I started managing my son’s U8s team. Since then, the club has become a big part of our family life, helping us meet lots of new friends in the Berkhamsted community. I’m proud to support Raiders and help out with the club’s marketing, including member newsletters, PR, events, and social media.

Chris Armond
Chair of Trustees
My son has been with Raiders since joining the U7s and is now in the U17s this coming season. I've been helping to manage throughout his time in Raiders, much to his annoyance!! It's great to be involved with Raiders as the ethos and support is great for the kids, parents and volunteers alike. My role is to work with and lead the Board of Trustees to deliver the strategic objectives of the football club charity.
Richard Bedlow
Treasurer
My son joined Raiders at U7s and I’ve loved watching him develop as a footballer and be a part of such a supportive and encouraging environment. The enthusiasm and dedication of the volunteers who make this happen is great and so I’m delighted to have the opportunity to contribute to such a fantastic community club as the Treasurer for the charity.

Both of my sons have been enthusiastic members of Raiders since U7s, it is a fantastic community football club which gives children the chance to make new friends and build team spirit. I have volunteered many times with the annual tournament and also pitch side at their matches so when the opportunity to become a trustee and HR advisor came along, I jumped at it!Cassie Goodison

My son joined Raiders in the U10s and has developed into a proud and determined Raiders player in his time in the club..

As a trustee, my role is to exercise oversight and scrutiny, and help ensure that the charitable objects are carried out and that sustainable revenues continue to be generated.
