Our heritage – A Legacy of Football Excellence
Founded in 1899, Wealdstone FC has a proud history deeply embedded in the fabric of English football. For the past 16 years, we have made Ruislip our home, competing at the highest level of non-league football in the National League.
Our average match day attendance of 1,800 passionate fans reflects our deep connection with the local community. Many of our supporters reside in Ruislip and the surrounding areas, making match days not just a sporting event but a community gathering. The Wealdstone FC Supporters Social Club provides a welcoming space for fans to come together, strengthening the social fabric of our club and fostering a sense of belonging.

Our 3 year foundation focus

Our strategic direction is shaped by a desire to build on our successes, reach more people, and adapt to the evolving needs of our community.
Create financial growth
To sustain and grow our reach and impact as a charity we need to continue to achieve a diverse mix of income. This comes from partnerships, funding, fundraising, donations and revenue from our facilities and affordable engagement activities and programmes. We also ensure that our expenditure is both necessary and reasonable to further our wider charitable objectives.
Improvement and infrastructure
We are always striving to improve our facilities, programmes, delivery and equipment to ensure the highest standard of community provisions. The better we can be in every area of the Foundation, the greater the impact we can have on the Hillingdon community and beyond.
Support and inspire our community
We use the power of Wealdstone Football Club to achieve our charitable objectives. Using our programmes, platforms and player engagement with the help of those at Wealdstone Football Club, we support and inspire our community to help people lead a better lifestyle.
Promote positive culture
We have a team of inspirational people who care and aspire to make a difference every day. We strive for excellent recruitment of people who believe in our values, and we aim to create a culture that makes them feel proud and appreciated.
