Barclays is targeting financial exclusion and poverty among over 270,000 people 
at the vulnerable extremes of the age range, thanks to £3.6m worth of funding to
Help the Aged, NCH the Children’s Charity, and a massive volunteering campaign.

The new agreements, spanning three years and worth £1.8 million to each charity,
are the single largest contributions Barclays has ever made towards promoting financial
literacy and debt advice. Over 3,500 Barclays staff are also expected to volunteer
with the charities, assisting in ways such as providing skilled advice on money 
management and helping in their financial education.
