At Nationwide our members have a voice, and in her poem ‘Building the Building Society’ poet Jo Bell uses hers to tell the story of how our building society began. Back in 1884 it was hard for working class people to buy a home of their own. A small group of Londoners took things into their own hands. Led by Mr Charles Cooper they formed a ‘mutual society’ where the members could pool their money together, in order to help each other buy homes. This small group grew and grew, to eventually become the 14 million members that make up Nationwide Building Society today.

Nationwide announces its opening a new branch in Glastonbury
There's something shaking from my head to my feet
I watch the house lights going off in my street
Real night vision, my only desire
And as it fades to nothing we go
Down in the heart of the nation
Out cause the weekend is calling me in
But I'm trying to follow
The tick tick tick at the heart of the nation
There's someone watching on CCTV
24 hours I'm stuck on a screen
Lost in the shadow they follow me round
And I will fade to nothing as we go
Down in the heart of the nation
Out cause the weekend is calling me in
But I'm trying to follow
The tick tick tick at the heart of the nation
Down in the heart of the nation
Out cause the weekend is calling me in
But I'm trying to follow
