Arsenal players were out and about this week getting into the festive spirit with our local community.
Players visited the local Whittington Hospital in Islington, whilst others spread some Christmas cheer with beneficiaries of The Arsenal Foundation, including Centre 404 - a centre for disabled young people and their families, and 'Pedal Power' - a regular cycling project held at Emirates Stadium every Thursday for the learning disabled community with profound and complex needs.
Club captain Per Mertesacker and fellow countryman and teammate Shkodran Mustafi joined 'Pedal Power' participants in the specially adapted tricycles and side-by-side tandems before rolling into The Hub - Home of Arsenal in the Community, to meet a variety of young people who deliver and participate in the community department’s variety of sport, social inclusion and education projects.
