Cooper Tires donate tickets to community

Cooper Tires, the Official Tyre Partner of Arsenal Football Club, donated their tickets to the Burnley game to beneficiaries from an Arsenal in the Community project.

The Arsenal London Amps enjoy regular football sessions with Arsenal in the Community, and thanks to Cooper Tires, this week they watched the Arsenal v Burnley game in hospitality seating.

Participants in Arsenal in the Community’s Amputee football group take part in their weekly football sessions at the Arsenal Hub and they also participate in league competitions.

This is one of the many inclusive football projects run by Arsenal in the Community, aiming to ensure that disability is not a barrier to playing and enjoying football.

Luke Howard, Arsenal’s Disability Officer said: "We are very grateful to Cooper Tires for offering their tickets to our group and it is brilliant to give them an opportunity like that. It really encapsulates that sense of belonging to the club when they have experiences like this as it is something that they would never get the chance to do. It helps us to continuously progress our engagement."
