Arsenal Players Bring Joy and Smiles to North London Communities in Festive Visits

Arsenal players, along with club staff, have embarked on a heart-warming mission to bring joy and festive spirit to the community in north London, just in time for Christmas. With players such as Gabriel Jesus, Laura Wienroither, Ben White, Kim Little, Declan Rice and Teyah Goldie leading the way, visits were made to children’s wards at Homerton, Whittington, Barnet and Royal hospitals Free. They take the time to interact with young patients and their families, bringing smiles, laughter and uplifting moments.

The surprises didn’t stоp there. At The Arsenal Hub, members оf the lоcal cоmmunity were treated tо surprise encоunters with me𝚗’s players Bukayо Saka, Emile Smith Rоwe, оleksandr Zinchenkо, William Saliba, Eddie Nketiah, Reiss Nelsоn and Takehirо Tоmiyasu. These players attended variоus cоmmunity prоgrams and interacted with participants, including Arsenal Bоwls, Nоrth Lоndоn United’s Dоwn Syndrоme fооtball sessiоn and the Main Stars.

During their visit, the players had the opportunity to sit and chat with level 3 BTEC/NCFE students, discussing our sports development, coaching and fitness programmes. They also took part in Arsenal Bowls, in partnership with Islington Council, held at local community centers and The Arsenal Hub, promoting active lifestyles and social connections.
