Kevin has played an active role in a range of initiatives supporting vulnerable communities across London – he is a consistent advocate for and contributor to our local food banks, and is also an ambassador for charity The Passage, with the aim to raise awareness of homelessness.
He has visited Tottenham Foodbank twice this season, including a trip around Christmas to help deliver an annual donation – which is provided by the Club on top of year-round support – and was fittingly presented with his award at our Training Centre by one of the charity’s representatives.
The Foodbank has been supporting local people in crisis for over six years, providing emergency food to families and individuals, and last year supported 5,725 people, with almost a third of them children.
Tottenham Foodbank Project Manager Tonye Philemon said: “Demand for our support is rising sharply, while funding and donations are falling. We’re incredibly grateful for the support of Tottenham Hotspur and community champions like Kevin Danso. It’s this backing that helps keep our doors open.”
Maheta Molango, CEO of the Professional Footballers' Association, said: “We know from our work with players that they feel passionately about using their influence in positive ways to drive change in their communities. Our PFA Community Champions have shown incredible dedication to community engagement projects over the season and it’s right that they are celebrated for the impact they’ve had.”
