This is such sad news - Neal was truly one of the most inspirational people I’ve ever met. His values and passion touched everyone who ever made contact with him. I had the honour of working closely with Neal and will now ensure that his work will continue for many years to come

[West Ham United Foundation @WHUFoundation]

We’ve all been reeling from the news of Neal’s passing. He was such a valued member of the team and we all miss him greatly.

On this #DayOfReflection, I pay my respects to all who have lost their lives to #COVID19.

I also want to reiterate the need to collectively address the severe inequalities in our society.

We must all play our part.

Earlier this week I spoke at a @NASPTweets webinar & highlighted our 150Club project which has helped hundreds of people in #Newham. A fantastic example of the impact that can be made in a partnership model which is patient-led.

Huge shoutout to Layla and Nina, our Lifestyle Advisors for the #150Club 👏🤩

They work tirelessly to support the participants in finding an exercise plan that inspires them and helps fight Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease 💪

As someone who was a reluctant reader as a youngster, having schemes like this would have helped me and so many other young people during school! Super proud of the team today on #WorldBookDay @WHUFoundation 🙌

[West Ham United Foundation @WHUFoundation]

For #WorldBookDay this year we delivered over 6️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ books to 8️⃣ schools across the community.

Thanks to @Literacy_Trust, @WalkerBooksUK and @Morrisons Foundation for the book donations to help inspire young people to get reading!📚📓

So important to keep having talks like this & building on them!

Education & collaboration are key but we all also have a responsibility to promote EDI & safely challenge & report any form discrimination.

We must help each other.

Thank you @YusufJP_ , @WHUFoundation & @NazLegacy for setting up tonight's call with the fantastic Leroy Rosenior.
