A Royal Appointment
Year 12 Student Thomas Stroud has been invited to take part in a visit from HRH Prince Edward the Earl of Wessex when he visits The Stonehouse Gang who are celebrating their 75th Anniversary year and its involvement in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. In 1956 the Stonehouse Gang was one of the pilot groups for the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, which was later chaired by Sir John Hunt, who in 1957 opened the Stonehouse Gang’s building in Brunel Road. The Stonehouse Gang is a youth club which is a thriving and active hub of the local community. It is centred on the Selly Oak, Weoley Castle and Bartley Green areas of Birmingham. It enjoys over 3000 attendances each year and is continuing to grow.
