A FORGOTTEN bank account has given a local group for young people a boost.
More than 15 years ago a youth club in Stonnall was run by John Mason before it folded in 2011 due to a lack of support.
But his daughter Deb Orgill, who now manages local pub The Swan, received a letter from HSBC earlier this year telling her that a dormant account linked to the club and her father – who died in 2014 – had been found with more than £700 in it.
After reclaiming the money, Deb decided to donate it to 1st Stonnall Scouts, Beavers and Cubs in her dad’s memory – with the total topped up to £800 by customers at The Swan.
