Helping UK churches bank safely and sustainably.
It's been a busy summer in the Bank Well campaign. Alongside the full national launch of our Local Reps programme, our website and our social media, we also ran the Bank Well events and continued pulling together inspiring stories of churches across the UK who are making the switch to an ethical bank!
Join us this autumn for our biannual Community Gathering, hearing updates from the campaign and discovering how you and/or your church can get involved.
With this simple, practical step, we can make a tangible difference on the climate crisis. Save the date. More details to follow.
Bank Well helps UK churches bank safely and sustainably:
Safe for people.
Safe for the planet.
Safe for your church.
Our vision is for a financial culture shift in the UK church: a wave of churches moving away from fossil fuel banks and into climate-friendly options.
Most of the UK's big high-street banks invest heavily in companies that contribute directly to climate change through fossil fuels and other harmful industries. Since 2015, the world's 60 largest banks have provided $6.9 trillion in financing the fossil fuel industry. The UK's 4 largest banks, HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds and NatWest have all been among the world's biggest financiers of fossil fuels. We think this is a problem.
Switching banks is an incredibly powerful and practical step for your church to enact Christlike compassion for our global neighbours.
