Local students were supported by Hull City's Paul McShane and Dean Marney as they launched an anti-bullying video.
The six students from Longcroft School in Beverley, near Hull, created the short awareness film with the East Riding Youth Service based around the 'Speak, Solve, Stop' campaign and it was shown in schools around the East Riding area during the National Anti-Bullying Week.
Marney and McShane got involved through the Premier League's 'Creating Chances' scheme and the Tigers chose the students' project as the recipient of a £4000 donation from the Premier League.

Both players were on hand to see the first ever showing of the film at Longcroft School and then fielded a host of questions from children afterwards.
Marney commented: "We are delighted to support the youngsters in this initiative because bullying is an important issue. As players we're happy to be involved and hopefully the venture will help to reduce bullying incidents."
Student Rebecca Bennett was thrilled to have the endorsement of the two City stars and said: "With our video, students can watch and tell someone with confidence about their situation. We have enjoyed working with the Hull City players and youth workers on this project and hope it will make a difference."
