Arsenal in the Community

Social inclusion

Arsenal in the Community’s social inclusion work believes in the notion of “sport for good” rather than “sport for sport's sake”.

We aim to encourage young people to achieve their potential, improve their well-being and together build stronger, safer and more inclusive communities.
