Burnley stars Chris McCann, Kyle Lafferty, Mark Randall and first team coach Steve Davis were on hand to present certificates at the Playing For Success Celebration Evening.

Taking place in the James Hargreaves Suite at Turf Moor, around 90 children who have taken part in the Playing For Success scheme over the last 10 weeks attended with their parents.

A presentation of the children's work was shown before the pupils were presented with their certificates of achievement by the players and Steve Davis, who also stayed behind to sign autographs.

The children come from eight local schools and attend after-school classes in the 'Playing For Success' room at Turf Moor, where they are bused to from school and then home afterwards.

They study different subjects such as IT, numeracy and literacy using football and other fun ways to learn whilst there are regular prizes and treats from the club too.

Each session of 'Playing For Success' lasts 10 weeks and the children who have been involved during that time all come together for the Celebration Evening with their family and the Playing For Success staff.
