TreeHouse is thrilled to be Arsenal’s Charity of the Season 2007-2008!
The Gunners teamed up with TreeHouse to raise £250,000 for sports facilities at our new National Centre for Autism Education. Construction has just started on the new building, which is located just three miles from the impressive Emirates Stadium. The new centre will help TreeHouse to achieve its goal of changing the lives of all children with autism, and the lives of their families, through education.
Arsenal and TreeHouse are also working together on delivering autism training and information to local schools and creating inclusive sports opportunities for youngsters with autism.
Arsenal Manager, Arsène Wenger said: “We’re delighted to have TreeHouse as our new charity partner for the forthcoming season, a charity that does fantastic work in the delivery and increased understanding of autism education throughout the UK. Awareness raising and understanding of autism education is still much needed however, and matched with the need to raise vital funds for the new centre, we hope we can help TreeHouse on both accounts. We ask that supporters join us to show their great support again this season for such a great charity.”
Ian Wylie, chief executive, TreeHouse, says “I am absolutely delighted that Arsenal has chosen TreeHouse as their charity of the season. To be a partner with such a great club means so much to us and to all the children with autism and their families we support. Together we will ensure that more people understand the challenges that children with autism and their families face on a daily basis. And we will make sure that many more youngsters with autism are able to take part in sporting activities.”
