Half a million meals delivered into north London

We're proud to have delivered our 500,000th meal into the local community since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Together with food distribution charity HIS Church and our local councils in Camden, Islington and Hackney, we have provided over 219 tonnes of food to support those most vulnerable in our local community.

Mikel Arteta and Joe Montemurro welcomed the lorry carrying the milestone delivery into our training centre at London Colney, before it arrived at Emirates Stadium with chief executive Vinai Venkatesham and Cllr Richard Watts, leader of Islington Council.

The delivery of food and emergency supplies has formed one part of our community response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
