Arsenal’s Partnership with North London United Celebrates 10 Years of Supporting Young Individuals with Down Syndrome

At Arsenal, we are committed to our community work and this is evident through our partnership with North London United. Today marks the 10th anniversary of our collaboration, which aims to support young individuals aged 5 to 30 with Down Syndrome. We recently had players like Martin Odegaard, Leah Williamson, Laura Wienroither, Kaylan Marckese, and Emily Fox visit our Community Hub for engaging sessions with participants.

The atmosphere was electric as players interacted with the participants, reflecting our dedication to ensuring everyone in our community feels supported and valued. Over the years, players such as Petr Cech, Granit Xhaka, and Per Mertesacker have consistently shown their support for the program, highlighting our commitment to inclusivity and support.

Our Community Hub sessions run every Monday from 5pm to 6:30pm with tailored sessions for different age groups focusing on various skills beyond football. These sessions are about more than just physical exercise; they are about building friendships, enhancing footballing abilities, and developing social skills.

We take immense pride in our partnership with North London United and every participant and player is championed and valued, reflecting our dedication to inclusivity and support. Through programs like this, we aim to bring pride, inspiration
