Motherwell FC and the Well Society have signed a maiden Working Together Agreement.

The document sets out how both the club and the Well Society can work for the benefit of both organisations.

The agreement sets out a clear, shared framework for how both organisations will work in partnership, united by shared values, defined roles and a collective ambition to succeed.

Signed at Fir Park on Saturday 4 April as part of Well Society Week, the agreement represents a significant step forward in strengthening governance, collaboration and delivery across the club and its majority shareholder.

The document formally defines the roles and responsibilities of both the Motherwell FC Board and The Well Society Board, establishes a structured route to a medium-term strategic plan and introduces a clear framework for delivery and accountability.

The document was prepared by:

• Kyrk Macmillan – Club Chair
• Grant Jarvie – Club Board
• David Macfarlane – Club Board/Well Society
• Derek Watson – Well Society Chair
• Martin Grey – Society Board

“This is an exciting time for Motherwell Football Club, and this agreement builds on the strength of our structure,” Chairman Kyrk Macmillan said.

“It provides clarity, structure and shared purpose as we continue to move forward together. With both boards aligned, we are in a strong position to drive performance, deliver our strategy and build a sustainable and successful future for the club.”

“This is a defining moment for fan ownership at Motherwell,” Well Society Chairman Derek Watson stated.

“The Working Together Agreement ensures that the voice of our members remains at the heart of decision-making while providing a clear and professional framework for how we collaborate with, strengthen and support the club’s growth. It’s about trust, transparency and ambition for the future.”

The signing formed part of Well Society Week – a celebration of fan ownership at Fir Park – including the launch of the Society’s ‘Own it. Grow it’ – aimed at increasing membership and strengthening supporter investment.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former Motherwell FC player Billy Campbell.

Billy joined the club in 1968, arriving from Dundee. The winger went on to make 110 appearances for the Steelmen in his six-year stay at Fir Park.

Scoring 13 times, the Northern Irish internationalist returned to Motherwell later, where he was assistant manager to Willie McLean. He also featured for Hamilton Accies, Sunderland and Linfield.

Billy has passed away aged 81, and the thoughts of everyone at Motherwell Football Club are firmly with his family and friends at this sad time.

RIP, Billy.

We are proud to announce our continuing partnership with the Scottish Government’s mental health campaign Mind to Mind, an initiative encouraging individuals to look after their mental wellbeing.

Recognising that everybody has a unique experience and perspective when it comes to mental wellbeing, the Mind-to-Mind website, hosted on NHS Inform, features over 30 videos of people talking about their own mental wellbeing challenges as a way to help others who may be going through something similar.

Covering topics including dealing with anxiety and panic, coping with money worries, handling stress, feeling lonely or isolated, lifting mood and moving through grief, each contributor shares practical advice on what has worked for them. The website also features commentary from a range of professionals and signposts where people can access further help and support.

“This is an important message,” Paul McGinn said.

“Life can be difficult and we all experience hard times. With the continued messaging around being open about how you’re feeling and making it clear that people should talk more, mental health and how you’re feeling mentally can become a comfortable topic of discussion.

“Speak up, speak out, be heard.”

As a club, we’re encouraging all of our supporters to take care of their mental wellbeing by visiting the website with all the details here.

We are sad to announce the passing of our former Chairman John Chapman at the age of 93.

A lifelong supporter of the club, John joined the Executive Board at Fir Park in 1981, where he served five-and-a-half years before being appointed Chairman in 1987.

At a time when the club was navigating tricky waters from a financial point of view, John began to steady the ship, and by 1990, he had successfully cleared all outstanding debt the club had, securing Motherwell Football Club’s future and stabilising its finances.

His leadership allowed the club to build ambition in a sensible and stable manner, which was highlighted when the club lifted the Scottish Cup in 1991.

Success on the pitch was prominent, but John didn’t stop there and began to devise plans to improve Fir Park for supporters, converting out-of-date terracing into all-seater stands.

Our Chairman for ten years, before stepping down in October 1997, he remained proud of his efforts to stabilise the club he loved so dearly. His dedication and years of service were marked when he was named our Honorary Life President, a title fit for the great man.

John was awarded the O.B.E. for services to the Scottish meat trade in the 1992 New Year Honours list, and his services to Motherwell Football Club will be remembered for years to come.

“The Board and staff at Motherwell Football Club are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our Honorary Life President and former Club Chairman John Chapman O.B.E,” Brian Caldwell said.

“John was a dedicated Motherwell supporter who led the club during a difficult time, but also got to enjoy the fruits of his hard work when we lifted the Scottish Cup in 1991. Fir Park became a far greater experience for supporters due to John’s ideas and plans, with the changes he implemented still important to this very day.

“John visited Fir Park last October for a match, and it was a poignant day to have him back here. He met Jens Berthel Askou and other members of staff, and it was an honour to have him at the stadium. This a very sad time for everyone associated with Motherwell Football Club and we all pass our sincerest condolences to his son Jamie, daughter Deirdre and all of his family and friends. We will support John’s loved ones during this difficult time.”

His quiet and subtle leadership was a mark of a great man, who guided our club to safety and allowed it to thrive under his leadership. It’s with great sadness that we announce his passing, and our thoughts remain with his family and friends during this very sad time.

Rest in peace, John. Thank you for everything you have done for our football club.

Suicidal thoughts and depression can quietly infiltrate your life, influencing every moment, every action, and every day.

This ongoing struggle can gradually gain control, but it doesn’t have to.

When you don’t have the strength to take another step, ask those you love to pull you. You’re never alone in this.
