What did the officials say?
Ruth Tanner from 1st Bournville Scouts, said:
“The leaders are amazed to receive this award for the voluntary work they do with the young people at our headquarters and in the community. They enjoy what they do and are very thank you for the nomination!”
Fay Easton, head of stakeholder and community for West Midlands Railway, said:
“The Cross City Line connects communities across Birmingham, for both work and leisure. Getting young people to use the train with confidence can open up so many opportunities for them, so it is always great to be able to welcome groups like this onto our stations and trains. 1st Bournville Scouts were nominated for making a positive impact on those around them, so it is a pleasure to be able to recognise the group with a plaque at Bournville station as part of our Cross City Heroes competition.”
