Mikel Arteta has paid tribute to the volunteers who have helped make our No More Red campaign so successful over the past four years.
We will once again be wearing an all-white kit for Sunday’s FA Cup third-round clash against Manchester United to help raise awareness of the campaign which aims to keep young people safe from knife crime and youth violence. The kit will never be available to buy and will only ever be awarded to individuals who are making a positive difference in the community.
The work behind No More Red builds on 40 years of work by Arsenal in the Community and is focused on three key pillars: investing in safe spaces to play football, providing ongoing opportunities for connection and championing community role models, and Mikel used his pre-match press conference to heap praise on all those helping to make a difference in young people’s lives.
