Description:
Some charities, churches and other community groups have described being thrown into financial disarray after Barclays shut or froze their bank accounts without warning.

Several of the organisations affected, which include charities helping young people, and a Methodist church in the midst of significant building works, have banked with Barclays for over 20 years. But they say that counted for nothing as cheques and direct debits were cancelled by the bank without warning.
