A Goodbye Gift From Our Local Branch of Natwest

On Monday 25th March our local branch of the Natwest closed down after many years of serving the community, yet another result of the country's struggling economy.

We were regular users of the branch, and got to know the staff there well over the years, so were very sorry to see them go.

They did however still think of The Whitechapel Centre, even when they were experiencing such a change in their personal circumstances, and gave us a donation of crockery and cutlery for people who use our services.



The donations were snapped up quickly by staff for people that were moving into their new homes, and have nothing to put in them (even a cup to drink out of) and were greatly appreciated.

So a huge thank you goes to Hazel, and the rest of the team from the branch who have served us through the years, and for thinking of how they could help The Whitechapel even as their own jobs were coming to an end.
