Chocolate Box Time

Christmas is a magical and special time for children but it can be a very challenging time for some children. While it might not solve every problem, what better than a box of chocolates to put some smiles on faces. Every little bit helps.

Arsenal Scotland Supporters Club has developed an annual tradition of traveling across the country to donate boxes of chocolates to children’s charities and hospitals.

It’s amazing what £800 plus lots of goodwill, enthusiasm and hard work can do!
