TRANMERE Rovers' players took time out of training to bring festive cheer to Wirral children's charity Stick 'n' Step.

Martin Riley, Liam Davies and Mitchell Duggan were given a tour of its centre in Liscard.

The players spent time socialising with the children, seeing what is involved in the various different sessions and having a Christmas party, where the children were given Christmas gifts.

Sarah Smithson, operations manager at Stick 'n' Step, said: "We had a great afternoon.

"The children thoroughly enjoyed talking and playing with some real life sporting heroes."

The charity provides free specialist conductive education and support services to 70 children with cerebral palsy and their families and carers across the North West of England and North Wales.

Conductive education is a non-medical developmental aid that helps young people to learn new skills such as head control, moving around independently, sitting unaided, walking and more.

Sarah Smithson continued: "The club has a great history and heritage on the Wirral and we want to thank Tranmere Rovers FC for being so kind in giving up their time to visit everyone here at Stick 'n' Step.

"It was some of the children’s last days before we break up for Christmas and it was made very special and memorable by the players' generosity."
