The DSA would like to invite you to come along to the ‘Summer Event’ for our ‘Inclusion For All Starts With A Great Foundation” campaign in partnership with the FAB fan groups and West Ham United Foundation, on Tuesday 22nd July 2025 from 4pm - 7pm
Taking place at the Foundry, West Ham's newly opened community hub, the event will also include Boccia, Pan-disability & other taster sessions in varying degrees of physical activities, from sitting to standing. Any Old Irons will be giving us a few songs and we have a Q&A with a former player and DSA Ambassador, Matt Jarvis.
The event will specifically highlight Walking Football for Parkinson's, and we are holding taster sessions the new 3G pitch. It is hoped we can ultimately put together a West Ham Team to join other Premier League Clubs, including Arsenal & Nottingham Forest who have already have successful walking football projects. The programme's success is reflected in the fact that 24 teams took part in the 2025 tournament at the home of England Football - St George's Park and the initiative has been covered by the BBC's Match of the Day.
We are very proud to be offering you a chance to participate in a disabled specific environment rather than the diverse PAN disability provision and hope that with enough interest it could become a regular type of football that would be delivered by West Ham United.
Spaces are limited so please sign up to attend - registration is easy using the QR code on the poster or email us at info@whudsa.com
