Operating from Cherry Red Records Stadium in Wimbledon, the Foundation engages 3,500+ people every week across Merton, Wandsworth and Kingston through sport, education, employment, social inclusion and health programmes. In 2024-25 — its strongest fundraising year to date — the Foundation reached 4,020 girls and women, mentored 79 young people into work or education, and launched five new programmes including a custody intervention scheme and a female coaching pathway. A new three-year strategy (2025-2028) sets out ambitions to become London's leading community club.
