Spreading festive cheer in our local community

This week our men’s and women’s first-team players and club staff shared festive cheer with young supporters across north London as we continued our long-standing tradition of bringing presents to hospitals and community initiatives in the local area.

Players including Jordan Nobbs, Aaron Ramsdale, Kim Little, Emile Smith Rowe, Lotte Wubben-Moy, Granit Xhaka, Katie McCabe and Oleksandr Zinchenko took the time to visit children’s wards at the Homerton, Whittington and Royal Free hospitals, handing out presents and spending time with the young patients and their families.

Meanwhile, players including Lina Hurtig, Bukayo Saka, Mana Iwabuchi and Martin Odegaard visited The Arsenal Hub to surprise children from our community literacy club, and our Kicks and Young People in Care programmes.
