Arsenal's No More Red campaign continues to fight against the root causes of youth violence in London.

The club - in conjunction with shirt manufacturer Adidas - marked the initiative this year with a community walk, featuring fans, campaigners and players Noni Madueke and Alessia Russo.

The walk was significant, with the family of Arsenal supporter Tashan Daniel taking part.

Tashan died in 2019, aged 20, when he was stabbed on his way to watch the Gunners.

The walk concluded with his parents making their way to his seat at Emirates Stadium.

Since No More Red was launched, Arsenal and their partners have delivered four new and refurbished pitches in north London, creating safe places for young people to play.

In addition, almost 800 training sessions have been delivered on the pitches, with over 1500 young people engaging with the club's community coaches.
