Significant events

• “One of the Foundation's most transformative developments is The Foundry a new £5 million community headquarters in Beckton, Newham. Opened in October 2025, this purpose-built hub draws inspiration from Thames Ironworks FC, West Ham United's original identity. Its mission: to forge stronger futures by creating opportunity, delivering life skills, and changing lives.”
• “The official launch of The Foundry in the 25/26 season will be a defining milestone in this journey. The new community hub will nearly triple the size of the Foundation's space, introducing dedicated zones focused on education, enterprise, mentoring, and health and wellbeing.”
• “A key addition is E6 Kitchen, a new social kitchen created in partnership with Beyond Food. Operating on a cost-plus model, all proceeds are reinvested into the Foundation to support free meals for local people in need ensuring that every plate served helps sustain the mission to empower the community.”
• “Our new £5-million, state-of-the-art community hub, named The Foundry, will be the focal point of this next chapter. Located in Beckton, Newham, the hub triples the size of our current headquarters and enable us to double weekly footfall from 2,000 to up to 4,000 people.”
• “The Foundry was formally opened in October 2025 with a major community launch event that acted as a springboard for activity throughout the year.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
