Say NO to Barclays - Campaign launched in Support of Ummah Welfare Trust

WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED TO ANNOUNCE THAT BARCLAYS HAVE CLOSED THE UWT ACCOUNT. PLEASE START CLOSING YOUR BANK ACCOUNTS IN SUPPORT OF UWT.

The Ummah Welfare Trust (UWT) was dismayed by receiving a 30 day notice from Barclays to close their bank account. The trust has been banking with Barclays since its inception in 2001 in order to carry out relief operations in over twenty countries across Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East providing support to over a million people.
