West Ham United stars Taty Castellanos and Pablo Felipe visited the Holiday Hammers programme, creating unforgettable memories for children aged 5-14. The visit took place at The Foundry, where the players attended two groups of children, including 6-year-old Matthias, who met his favourite player Taty Castellanos and received a signed first-team football.
What is Holiday Hammers?
Holiday Hammers is a programme funded by West Ham United Foundation, which provides activities for children during school holidays. The programme is also supported by the Holiday Active Fund, funded by Newham Council. As reported by West Ham United, Taty Castellanos said: "Football can create memories". The visit was a huge success, with children enjoying the company of their football heroes.
The Impact of the Visit
The visit had a significant impact on the children, with Matthias' mum saying: "Seeing that dream come true" for her son. The programme aims to provide a safe and fun environment for children to engage in physical activity and develop their skills. With West Ham United currently standing at 17th in the Championship, 1 point behind from 2 games, the club's community efforts are a welcome distraction. The team has scored 3 goals and conceded 4, resulting in a -1 goal difference. They are 5 points behind leaders Millwall and will face Watford away on 2026-08-29.
