We are delighted to sponsor this heart warming ‘compassionate community’ initiative from the team @bathopenchristmas and @banes3sg. Bath Open Christmas host the annual Christmas Day lunch at Kingswood School for people who would otherwise spend the day alone. As it’s not possible to invite everyone this year, the team has enlisted local school children to design and write cards to send to people in our community who may be spending the festive period alone. And in a joint effort with the BANES 3SG compassionate communities team, volunteers will be calling for a chat on the day. Massive thanks to @arthayesfield #ststephens #bathfordprimary #newbridgeschoolbath #WASPS and #bathwickstmarys for getting involved, your heartfelt messages may have made us shed a little tear!

Introducing Wiktoria in the latest of our ‘Meet The Team’ series. Wiktoria first joined the Society to complete work experience as part of her International Business course at @bathcollege. Luckily for us, once she’d qualified she came back and worked in the Branch team. 12 months ago Wiktoria was appointed to the new role of Mortgage Sales Support at the start of what turned out to be our busiest period ever with a combination of a boom in house sales and processing mortgage deferrals during the two lockdown periods. She’s now studying for the professional mortgage CeMap qualifications. Watch this space!
