Community funding through Newham Council has secured reduced rates for the club, and grants from the borough have enabled the club to invest in new equipment. Essentially a target club, the club boasts a field division, for field shooting. Newham Archers has a very successful junior club, with several members shooting for the county. The club are keen to develop relationships with local schools and invite children who show an interest and potential in the sport to come and visit.
