About Sport in the Community

Arsenal in the Community began life holding football and other sports activities at Highbury.

Sport has remained the foundation for much of what the team does – it is used to encourage children with their schoolwork and to help participants towards further qualifications and work; to introduce young people to new experiences, and to foster a sense of belonging and increased confidence.

While the community team has helped many young people to notable sporting successes, social outcomes have often been the priority of its sport programmes.
