Today we launched our Economic and Social Impact Report with a special event at Emirates Stadium, bringing together our local partners and our local community.
We reflected on the progress we’ve made together in driving progress across our much-loved home of Islington, with special contributions from Richard Garlick, our Managing Director, and a panel consisting of Karen Smart, our Chief Operating Officer; Councillor Santiago Bell-Bradford, Islington Council’s Executive Member for Inclusive Economy, Culture & Jobs; Sarah Benioff, Chief Executive of Cripplegate Foundation and Islington Giving, and Peter Arnold, UK Chief Economist at EY.
We also heard from Riley Butler and Sakinaah Boateng, two members of our Arsenal family who were supported by the programmes we run through Arsenal in the Community, about their personal and professional growth from their connection with our club.
