Don’t Bank on the Bomb
Don’t Bank on The Bomb seeks to grow a national network of campaigners, and create practical resources to support members to campaign and influence UK banks, pension funds and other financial institutions to divest from nuclear weapons manufacturers.
Come along to an online meeting on Tuesday 27 November 2024 to meet other campaigners, and discuss ways to kick off our collective campaigning work!
Did you know that major UK banks and pension funds have invested £32 billion in companies producing nuclear weapons? That means your money could be funding weapons of mass destruction! You can find out more in Don’t Bank on the Bomb’s most recent report.
In 2022, CND – along with partners from the Investing In Change network – challenged these financial companies on their nuclear investments at their Annual General Meetings (AGMs). We asked supporters to take part in various days of action and spread awareness of the campaign, and to call for divestment from nuclear weapons.

•NatWest – 28th April
•HSBC – 29th April
•Barclay’s – 4th May

How you can help
If you are a customer of any of the above and want to take part, everything you need can be found on the National CND website. You will find:
•Graphics to share on social media.
•Examples of tweets you can send to your bank or pension provider.
•Template letter for each specific bank/pension fund expressing your concerns. You can also take a picture handing in the letter to your local branch and post on social media using the hashtag #InvestingInChange
