Last week our men’s and women’s first-team players and club staff visited our communities across north London as we furthered our connection and relationships with those in the local area.
Players including Gabriel Jesus, Laura Wienroither, Ben White, Kim Little, Declan Rice and Teyah Goldie took time to visit children’s wards at the Homerton, Whittington, Barnet and Royal Free hospitals – spending time and speaking with young patients and their families, spreading smiles and sharing laughs.
Members of the local community were also served up a surprise at the Arsenal Hub as men’s players Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe, Oleksandr Zinchenko, William Saliba, Eddie Nketiah, Reiss Nelson and Takehiro Tomiyasu paid a visit to watch, take part in, and chat to those participating in a number of local community programmes, including Arsenal Bowls, North London United’s Down Syndrome football session and Primary Stars.
