Arsenal’s Head of Community, Freddie Hudson, has been awarded an MBE in the King’s Birthday Honours for 'Services to Arsenal’s community'.
Freddie has enjoyed a 37-year career with us, dedicated to driving social inclusion, raising aspirations, and improving wellbeing across our community, creating a sense of belonging in vulnerable and underrepresented individuals and groups, supporting them in reaching their potential.
He joined Arsenal in the Community in the 1987/88 season, shortly after its inception, when he supervised a group of young people on an 'Action Sport' scheme – a programme aimed at engaging unemployed people through sport.
