Employees from HSBC across Guernsey, Jersey, and the Isle of Man have volunteered more than 850 hours to support the work of their individual local community and charitable causes over the first six months of the year.
The volunteering work has supported almost 20 different community groups and charities across the three islands, including planting trees for both Guernsey and Jersey Trees for Life, and gardening for The Ivy in Guernsey.
In addition to the volunteering, employees have also succeeded in undertaking a significant amount of fundraising personally to support several different charities, including Macmillan Cancer Support in both Guernsey and the Isle of Man.
Through the Bank’s community programmes, employees are able to dedicate a working day to volunteering to support their charity of choice, as well as raise funds and apply for matched funding through HSBC’s Pound for Pound scheme.
Commenting on the significant amount of community activity undertaken by colleagues over the first six months of the year, HSBC Channel Islands and Isle of Man CEO Warwick Long said: “Supporting the communities where we operate is incredibly important for HSBC and our people, who share their time, skills and expertise. I’m extremely proud of the assistance we’re able to provide in order to help make a lasting difference for our local charities and organisations across our islands.”
