AGM Season is NOW

Our newly-formed Pension and Finances Working Group group are considering how they can use the upcoming AGM season to continue to hold financial institutions to account for their failure to ensure that the financial investment they provide promotes the health of the planet rather than aiding its destruction.

We are planning to have a presence at the Barclays AGM on 7th May 2026 11 am at the QE2 Centre London SW1 3EE. We will have our banners and leaflets outside (rendez-vous by 10.30 please), with some of us intending to join the meeting to table a question for the Board of directors. See you there? Email info@ourgrandchildrensclimate.org for more information.                                                    If you have shares in other major Banks, go to their AGM and ask a question.          HSBC - Friday 8th May 2026 10 am InterContinental London 02 SE10 OTW.          NAT WEST - Tuesday 28 April 2026 at 11 am Gogarburn, Edinburgh EH12 1HQ. They don't like us: HSBC are considering online-only AGM in 2027. "digital formats aim to minimize disruptions from protests, particularly by climate activists" (The Banker)                                                                                                                          DON'T FORGET: Consider switching your bank account: It's easy.
