HSBC’s Work in the Community

As one of the major UK banks, HSBC have a corporate responsibility to contribute to the community spirit and to donate time and money to charity/ies in reinforcement of this. HSBC employees dressed themselves up as an array of superheroes to entertain some of the children from Bluebell Wood Hospice in North Anston in Yorkshire. The stunt was organised to coincide with National Children’s Hospice week and is just the most recent in a string of activities organised by HSBC to assist with the fabulous work that they do at Bluebell Wood.

The banking group have to date managed to raise in the excess of £183,000 for the charity and their staff have volunteered more than 2500 hours of their time to help at the hospice. The volunteers have helped with a range of activities from children’s parties to decorating rooms and gardening. They strive to do anything they can to help the team at Bluebell Wood as well as keep the children’s spirits high. The activities that the team have undertaken to raise money for the hospice spans from black-tie events to charity golf days so there’s something for everyone!

This helps to maintain a positive reputation in the eyes of their customers, investors and so on and in a nod of appreciation towards these are the other events run by HSBC that includes things such as former British and Irish Lions putting in appearances at particular branches for their customers to meet.

Over six days at the end of May and beginning of June, just prior to this year’s British and Irish Lions’ tour of Australia, a selection of players including but not limited to Matt Dawson, Kyran Bracken, Mark Regan and Brian Moore were available at different stores around the UK to meet their fans. This helped to build hype around the upcoming tour, which incidentally was fantastically played and won by the British and Irish Lions and provided excitement for the employees of each branch too!

Once again the idea is focussed on children and the invite details the opportunity to have their picture taken with one of the Lions Legends. It’s a positive image for HSBC to endorse, the fact that they are supportive of the future.
