Remembering Grenfell, Five Years On

It’s five years to the day since the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower fire, which took the lives of 72 people in west London, and affected so many more.

To mark the anniversary, Luke Howard from our Community team spoke with Paul Menacer - a Grenfell survivor and lifelong Arsenal fan - to find out more about his story.

Paul has been working closely with our Community team ever since the tragedy, helping to coordinate projects, making sure that support is going to those in need, and running his own community football programme.

Luke: Firstly, could you tell us a bit about what Arsenal means to you?
