Arsenal helps put Limerick youth in premier position

Arsenal plan to give a premiership feeling to young people in Limerick by motivating them through the club’s unique community programme which it is now branching outside London for the time.

The Arsenal Gap Programme maps out social change in deprived communities by getting young people into soccer and helping them with classroom literacy skills.

Arsenal have joined forces with Limerick Institute of Technology (LIT), Limerick FC, and Limerick Enterprise Development Partnership, and yesterday launched the club’s first such programme outside London.
