Barclays launch trial in bid to keep branch open


Barclays has launched a trial in Wombourne, South Staffordshire, in a bid to keep the last bank in town open on Gravel Hill by restoring a manager to the branch and opening on Saturdays. Twelve pilot branches across the


UK will take part in the scheme where local managers will be re- instated. There will also be investment in the look and feel of the premises.


‘An innovative and sustainable future- proof suite of branches’


The trial will explore the opportunities of working more closely with communities to understand how customers and townspeople use a branch in the 21st Century and to test whether local branch banking can be sustainable over the long term. Richard Smalley, head of


Barclays Local, UK, said: “In Wombourne, we believe there is real appetite among businesses and the local community to support us in keeping the branch open, while acknowledging that many customers are choosing alternative ways to undertake their banking such as mobile, online and telephony services. “In order to keep the


Wombourne branch open, we’re

asking the community to get behind us and speak to us for more information. “We also understand not


everyone wants to manage their finances digitally, that’s why we’re planning to put specialists in the pilot branches to support people with more complex financial needs. Our ambition is to have an innovative and sustainable future-


proof suite of branches that exist alongside multi-channel banking options.” Kirsty Camber has been


appointed in a newly created branch manager role and Barclays Digital Eagles will be available on Saturdays offering in-branch activities alongside colleague-led seminars to assist with ongoing financial management planning.

36 CHAMBERLINK November 2019


December is Birmingham Revolutions – Power to the People.


This exhibition is a chance to discover the different voices and ideas that have contributed to the fight for a better Birmingham, from the Priestley Riots of 1791 through to the LGBTQ+ campaigns of today. Exploring the city’s vibrant and


varied history of protest and activism and the role Birmingham has played in some of the most important campaigns and movements in British history, Birmingham Revolutions will include voting reform, nuclear disarmament, trade unionism, anti- racism and human rights. Audio guides have launched at


BMAG and will transform the way visitors explore the galleries. An audio guide tour, which explores some of the highlights from the collection, is available for £3; learn about everything from ancient mummies to contemporary art.


BMAG will be hosting a series of


free drop-in arts sessions for adults. Taking part in creative activities has been shown to improve wellbeing, so these new sessions will encourage everyone to make a little space for creativity in their lives. During weekends between 7-22 December, Santa will be spreading festive cheer in his glittering grotto in the heart of the museum. On Friday, 20 December, there


will be a Christmas sing-along in the grand surroundings of the Round Room from 1-2pm. Each December community choirs from around the city perform at the museum, but this year visitors are invited to join in and sing along with Quinborne Choir.
