West Ham United Foundation has partnered with Newham Adult ADHD service to provide “meaningful, dynamic support for individuals affected by ADHD”.
Shoheb Khan, Operational Lead for the service, has described a surge in ADHD referrals as a “national issue”, and emphasised that diagnosis should not be the sole focus of care.
This is why the service is prioritising collaboration with community programmes like the Foundation’s 150Club Focus Health to address the broader needs of the community.
“The 150Club Focus Health workshops and peer support groups are uniquely positioned to support people with ADHD,” Khan told the club’s official website whufc.com. “These are areas that NHS services may not always address directly, but they are vital for overall wellbeing.”
West Ham United Foundation Health Manager, Hervé Bessières, spoke about the impact of the 150Club Focus Health. He said: "The 150Club Focus Health presents an exceptional partnership opportunity between Compass Wellbeing, Newham ADHD Services and the West Ham United Foundation to uplift the ADHD community. Building on its legacy, the 150Club continues to expand its community-based interventions, enhancing both physical and mental health.
“Our programme empowers participants by fostering emotional resilience, self-leadership and a path towards health and well-being. We offer dedicated workshops, peer support, physical activities and seamless collaboration with NHS services such as Newham Recovery College. It is a true privilege to pioneer this programme and witness our participants take control of their health and well-being while meeting the challenges of ADHD.”
