Great to catch up with the @NorthComBank team in #Ashington today - the #CommunityBank I helped start, with many others, in 2015 here in #Northumberland 1/

We started small in the #Tynedale area of #Northumberland but immediately got noticed by BBC, ITV, FT, Mail and others because here was a #bank run for people not for profit

We could not have started without the support + help from @HexhamAbbey @bishopnorwich @DagmarKirk + most of all @JohnSentamu - see him at our launch 3/ bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-eng…

The bank is now #Northumberland county wide+ an office in #Ashington and available online with thousands of members. It is perfect for savings or loans: 4/ northumberlandcommunitybank.co.uk

Fantastic to meet the new recruits to the #NorthumberlandCommunityBank team and hear about the progress they’ve made; + the exciting plans for the future helping our local community 5/#Onwards
