Honoring a Legacy: The Kevin Campbell Foundation Inspires Brixton Youth at Arsenal Hub

The Kevin Campbell Foundation was proud to be welcomed to the Arsenal Hub for two unforgettable days of activity and inspiration, joined by The St Matthew’s Project and Afewee FC - charities rooted in Brixton, where Kevin himself grew up. Young people from these organizations enjoyed football sessions and a guided tour of Emirates Stadium, creating lasting memories. Former Arsenal winger Perry Groves also joined the visit, sharing heartfelt stories that celebrated Kevin’s legacy both on and off the pitch.

In partnership with Arsenal in the Community, we launched the Kevin Campbell Award to honor individuals who show exceptional dedication within the Coach Development Programme. The first recipient, Lucy Tuke-Hastings, was recognized in April for her outstanding contributions. As our CEO Lorna Campbell shared, “We are honoured to be working in partnership with Arsenal in the Community to create these opportunities for young people.  We are particularly proud to impact and extend the growth of women's and girls' participation in grassroots football.”
