Players involved with community project during 'No Room for Racism' campaign week

Burnley FC U18s forwards Ryan Tioffo and Rohan Vaughan, and women’s defender Mikayla Wildgoose were all involved in an event that saw primary school children from across Burnley travel to Turf Moor and take part in activities in collaboration with the Premier League’s ‘No Room for Racism’ campaign.

During the event, the children participated in a range of activities, including anti-discrimination workshops, Kick it Out sessions, a stadium tour and then a Q&A session with Tioffo, Vaughan, Wildgoose and Head of Women’s Football Lola Ogunbote.

Speaking following the event Tioffo, who is currently out injured, said: “I think it’s important for kids at a young age to learn to treat others equally, both in sport and outside of sport.

“I’ve learnt today that Burnley in the Community is very important to the locals, as the kids were very happy to see us today, and hopefully we can do it again soon.

Fellow U18s forward Vaughan added: “I’ve learnt that it’s so important that kids know from a young age, that football and society has no room for racism.

Women’s defender Wildgoose finished by saying: “I think events like these are really important, as the younger generation can learn what ‘No Room for Racism’ is, and we can explain our knowledge on it so they know the rights and wrongs.
