Britain's What's On Event Guide
Uncle Matt's Chats x Barclays
The One Where We Take Over a Bank!
Me: “This is a stick-up!”
Barclays Teller: “You’re holding a baseball cap.”
Me: “Yes, and I’m here to steal your… event space.”
Barclays Teller: “…Alright?”
...and that’s how we ended up hosting a mental health event at Barclays Moorgate.
From Chapels to Pubs… to Banks
After hijacking a chapel and a pub, we’ve levelled up — Uncle Matt’s Chats is now taking over a bank.
But don’t worry, instead of stealing cash, we’re handing out ideas.
Ideas about spotting the signs early
Ideas about talking before things hit crisis point
Ideas about how to stop pretending you’re “fine” when you’re very much not fine.
Expect Sarcasm, Snacks, and Serious Chats
There’ll be food. There’ll be drink.
There might even be a group mortgage application (only if it happens naturally and nobody makes it weird).
If you like your mental health events served with sarcasm — and your hats served in ice cream tubs — this one’s for you.
Who’s Talking
We’ve got a brilliant line-up ready to share their stories and spark some conversations:
Steve Willicott – The guy who accidentally turned grief into a hat brand and is now somehow running mental health events.
Richard Pearce – A real-life Barclays VP, proving that talking about mental health is actually allowed in corporate land.
Jake Mills – Founder of Chasing the Stigma, joining for a fireside chat on why prevention always beats waiting until everything goes completely wrong.
