Women Mastering Change Marks Milestone Gathering at Parliament
Hosted by Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson DBE DL, Patron of Mastering Diversity CIC, and curated by Bernie Davies, Founder of Bernie Davies Global Ltd and Mastering Diversity CIC, the event brought together guests and speakers dedicated to empowering women navigating change, as well as the men who champion their journeys.
Business leaders from organisations across Wales including NatWest, Hugh James, FinTech Wales, Deloitte, Browne Jacobson, Women in Change, Education Wales, Commonwealth Games Team Wales, Welsh Ambulance Services and many more joined to demonstrate their ongoing support for the movement and highlighting the importance of regional leadership in driving national change.
Key speakers included Josianne Nduwiman, a representative for the First Lady of Burundi Angeline Ndayishimiye, Julia Reynolds (Partner at Leigh Day), Andrew Martin (Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre & Mastering Diversity Board Member), Blessing Mutamba (NatWest), Gwen Morgan-Evans (Hugh James), and Kobena Amissah from the Mastering Diversity Youth Board. Each speaker brought perspectives on resilience, leadership, and allyship.
A highlight of the event was the launch of a short film version of the 'Mastering Diversity' documentary, co-written and co-produced by Georgios Dimitropoulos. The full feature documentary is set to premiere on July 10th, 2025 at the NatWest South Wales Hub.
Bernie Davies said:
'It was an honour to welcome such remarkable changemakers to our 3rd annual Women Mastering Change closed session. With the esteemed Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson as our host, the event became a powerful celebration of resilience, empowerment, and purposeful leadership. Together, we affirmed our shared commitment to inclusive progress and creating space for every voice to be heard. This spirit of collaboration and transformation will carry us forward to the Global Empowerment and Inclusion Summit at the United Nations in Geneva this June, where we'll continue amplifying voices and driving meaningful change on a global stage.'
The event is one of the many events Mastering Diversity CIC is hosting throughout 2025 to tackle and discuss fundamental culture challenges required for fostering an inclusive Wales where diversity is not just celebrated but actively encouraged.
Founder Bernie Davies and her Youth Advisory Panel are heading to the Palais des Nations, United Nations Headquarters in Geneva on the 26th June 2025 for the Global Empowerment and Inclusion Summit 2025 which will be bringing together global thought leaders, youth advocates, policymakers, and changemakers to spotlight Cultural Exchange, Youth Empowerment, and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) in sports and technology.

'Lightweight and easy to use' grass trimmer has £50 discount
The cordless Thompson & Morgan 20v Grass Trimmer can tackle weeds, brambles, grass and features a 90 degree adjustable head If you're in the market for a handy tool to keep your garden looking trim, a grass trimmer might be just the ticket. Yimbly, the shopping marketplace owned by Daily Mirror's parent company Reach Plc, has a discount on the 'easy to use' Thompson & Morgan 20v Grass Trimmer. Originally retailing at £99.99, this means you can snap up this gardening essential for £49.50. The cordless trimmer is capable of tackling weeds, brambles and grass, and features a 90-degree adjustable head. Combined with its extendable length from 95cm to 115cm, this gadget can easily reach most areas. The Thompson & Morgan 20v Grass Trimmer comes equipped with an edge guide, a safety guard and a stabilising handle for 'comfortable and safe usage'. It includes a charger, charging base and a battery, providing 30 minutes of runtime from a three to five-hour charge, reports the Express. Amazon is currently offering a similar Flymo Contour 500E Electric Grass Trimmer and Edger with a 10 per cent discount. Now priced at £45.49, this alternative features an adjustable, steady handle with a soft grip for enhanced control and comfortable use. Bargain hunters looking for a wallet-friendly option might be interested in the Bosch EasyGrassCut 23 Grass Strimmer, currently discounted at Robert Dyas. This handy tool has been slashed from £39.99 down to £31.99. It's important to mention that both this and other similar alternatives are not cordless models. The Thompson & Morgan 20v Grass Trimmer hasn't garnered any reviews on the Yimbly website as of yet. However, it's receiving accolades on the Thompson & Morgan official site, with every reviewer giving it at least four stars. A particularly pleased customer gave it a full five-star rating, saying: "Great little strimmer. Lightweight and easy to use." Another happy user remarked: "Does the job brilliantly," adding: "Easy to use. Wonderful that it's cordless." A third chimed in with praise, noting: "Does exactly as it says. Very good operation and light to carry." An additional review highlighted the trimmer's convenience: "This trimmer is a Godsend. It is light and easy to use. The batteries which power it take only about 30 minutes to recharge, but buying an extra one to use while the other is recharging would be well worth it." They also recommended: "It is also worth buying some spare blades. The trimmer is good for cutting grass, including trimming lawn edges, and will soon pay for itself in saved gardener's bills in keeping the garden tidy." Yet, they did point out a limitation: "One has to be aware of its limitations, though. Trying to use it where a heavier petrol strimmer is needed to cut thick brambles or tough weeds will dislodge or break its little plastic blade."

Full list of 156 banks shutting after Lloyds and Halifax confirm new closures
The UK's high streets are set to become even more desolate this year, as hundreds more banks are closing their doors for good. The number of bank branches across the UK has dwindled gradually in recent years as customers increasingly turn to online and mobile banking. In fact, figures from last December showed 6,214 bank branches have shut since January 2015 – around 53 every single month. While hundreds of branches have closed this year already, there are more in the pipeline over the coming months. NatWest has confirmed 54 further branch closures, followed by Santander with 42 sites. Many people, such as older or disabled customers or small business owners, rely on local bank branches. The issue is compounded for those in rural areas, which may have poor broadband or mobile phone signal, making it difficult to access internet banking. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) says banks and building societies shutting down branches must ensure people in the local community can still access their money. Santander said previously that 93% of the UK population will still be within 10 miles of a branch even after the closures of more than a fifth of its branches. The banking giant said it has made the 'difficult decision' to close branches due to changing customer behaviour as most of its customers turn to online banking. A NatWest spokesperson told Metro that more than 80% of its current account holders use digital services, and over 97% of retail accounts are opened online. Banks need to open ATMs or open banking hubs at Post Offices if gaps are found. Basic banking services can be carried out at a Post Office otherwise. Sam Richardson, Which?'s deputy editor, highlighted the 'seismic' shift towards online banking evident in today's society. He said: 'The milestone of more than 6,000 bank closures in just nine years underscores the seismic shift that has taken place in terms of our banking habits and the character of the British high street.' Not every bank is closing branches, however. HSBC pledged last year that it would not announce any closures until at least 2026. Nationwide has gone a step further and promised it won't close any branches until at least 2028. And a spokesperson for Metro Bank told Metro that it wasn't planning to close any branches this year, and is in fact opening three new branches in Gateshead, Chester, and Salford. More Trending After a spate of closures this year, Barclays told Metro it has no plans to announce any further branch closures for the rest of 2025 or 2026.

ALEX BRUMMER: Banks face a fintech coup
The long and winding road back for NatWest from oblivion to robust domestic lender is complete. Paul Thwaite, the bank's chief executive post state shareholding, can enjoy the new freedoms. He has made no secret of his ambition to build on NatWest's already powerful presence through acquisition. As a standalone franchise, NatWest can now say what it thinks again. We know what happened to Thwaite's predecessor Alison Rose when judged to have spoken out of turn about the banking relationship between NatWest's posh offshoot Coutts and Reform leader Nigel Farage. NatWest's chief and his opposite number at Lloyds Charlie Nunn speak as one. With bank profits soaring and some Government members and backbenchers eyeing up the finance and wealth as tax targets, they are concerned. One can see why Labour might regard NatWest's first half operating profits of £3.6billion, up from £3billion in the same period last year, as easy meat. If the bank can afford to buy back £1.5billion of its shares this year, recompense for taxpayers might seem in order. Indeed, the bank has increased its income guidance for the full year to £16.5billion from £16billion. Partly that reflects additional income from the Sainsbury's bank deal, as well as lower than expected bad loans. Good times do not last forever and a profitable bank, with healthy capital, ought to be good for UK growth. NatWest, Lloyds and the other banks have no room for complacency. A note from NatWest-RBS neighbours in Edinburgh, Scottish Mortgage, run by Baillie Gifford, extols fintech. It praises pioneers Stripe, Wise, NuBank, SEA, Revolut and others for building 'scale financial systems' and broadening access. Unless the incumbents can catch the digital train, High Street lenders could – like IBM – become sunset companies, as Microsoft, Nvidia et al sprint off with the prizes. Powell play After ugly scenes in the Oval Office in February, when Donald Trump berated Ukraine's President Zelensky, it might have been hoped self-restraint had been learned. Trump was at it again on Thursday. This time, the victim was Federal Reserve chairman Jay Powell. Trump, as a real estate magnate, has an expertise in renovation, yet quite why he felt it necessary to don a hard hat and tour the repairs to the 90-year-old Fed headquarters is puzzling. As the two men toured, with Trump towering over the diminutive Powell, it was an obvious ambush. Trump magicked a piece of paper from his pocket and questioned alleged $3billion of costs and an overrun. The clash had little to do with concrete and plumbing, and everything to do with central bank independence. Trump is engaged in a crude campaign to bully Powell into cutting the key Fed funds rate from 4.25 per cent to 4.5 per cent to support output. The greater the pressure, the more likely it has been that Powell would hold the line. He has nothing to lose by being obdurate. His most notable legacy could be his bravery in standing up for the Fed. Fashion refit The controlling Lewis family is taking flack for playing hardball with River Island landlords and reshaping its retail portfolio. The objective is to keep the brand on the High Street in long-term ownership rather than condemn it to administration or rapacious private equity ownership. That rarely ends well.
