Prince Harry says a big thank you to ‘The Band’

Autism4Heroes found their most famous fan when they met with Prince Harry at Help for Heroes’ Tedworth House Recovery Centre, in Wiltshire in May.

The 22 youngsters all from ESPA College, aged 18 to 21, were asked to provide the entertainment at the opening of the National Recovery Centre, where the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William and Prince Harry were VIP guests.

Assistant College Co-ordinator Jak Dixon, said the event had been inspiring.

“The performance was an amazingly emotional affair and Autism4Heroes were stunned to hear the co-founder of Help for Heroes, Bryn Parry, describing the band as being an inspiration for their charity”.

Autism4Heroes is part of the new Specialist Traineeship Scheme run from ESPA College which combines practical learning sessions with real work activities.

Jak added: “The young people involved will be able to continue their fund-raising touring activities whilst learning essential employment related skills, in what promises to be a truly unique opportunity”.
