Myth Busting
“BANKING IS BORING” – No it’s
not, it is about working with our
customers to realise their hopes
and dreams, you’ll realise that
every request is different.
“IT’S A JOB FOR MEN IN SUITS” - The face of
banking is changing. Today’s landscape offers
equal opportunities for men and women to
progress into exciting and high profile careers.
“FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME, IT’S
UNACHIEVABLE” Many young people opt out of a career in
banking without even trying, or knowing
about the opportunities available to them.
HSBC are passionate about encouraging
applications from all manner of young
people and are actively searching for
candidates who stand out from the
crowd.
“I NEED TO BE GOOD AT
MATHS TO GET INTO
BANKING” – Successful
bankers are great relationship
people. You don’t have to be
good at figures, just have the
ability to listen and understand.

CASE STUDIES…

Meanwhile Space
Meanwhile Space is
dedicated to making the
most of unused spaces for the
benefit of local communities.
In Whitechapel, Meanwhile Space
persuaded landlords to allow them
to use an empty shop as an
engagement space for three
months.
Case
Studies
Local projects used the space
by marketing directly from the
shop. The space was kept as
a blank canvas so people
could project their own ideas.
Projects included community
engagement, workshops, art
shows, fundraising, family
days, theatre performances
and a fair for local artists and
retailers.
10
Cycletastic
Cycletastic is a voluntary
community project managed
and supported by local people
who aim to broaden access
to cycling.
The Community Shop offers a
drop-in repair facility and
regular bike maintenance
sessions. They encourage
local residents to start cycling
and become confident on the
road.
Case
Studies
Cycletastic provides
assistance to people of all
ages and backgrounds,
including those on low
incomes and experiencing
other varying hardships.
Through effective
engagement with local people
the project has enjoyed
support from Brent Council
and the local police service.

Getting in iTouch
This project partners residents
of care homes for the elderly
with university students.
Students show residents how
to send emails to their
families, search the internet
for information they might
need, or listen to their
favourite songs on iTunes and
YouTube.
Case
Social networking is used to
connect to people in other
homes world-wide.
Studies
This project differs from
other efforts to help older
people online. It adds
excitement, ease of use and
fun through new technology.

Enter the HSBC My Community Challenge
Submit your idea to
MyKindaFuture for the
chance to win an exclusive
work experience placement
with HSBC!
All finalists will get a work
experience place with
HSBC and five regional
winners will receive £250
for their school to kick start
the project!
So let’s get started! You will be led
through 3 tasks, each of which
relate to HSBC’s core values.
Remember to tie your work in with
these values as this will be part of
the judging criteria!
13
TASK 1: HOW CAN I HELP?
Think about your local area. Consider any problems
that affect individuals or groups. Once you have
identified a problem, you need to devise a solution!
Do you want to create a scheme that will change
people’s lives?
Could you provide activities that will develop their
skills?
What opportunities could you provide?
What project are you going to start up in order to
help your community?
VALUE: Connected to customers, communities and each other
Building connections, being aware of external issues, collaborating across
boundaries. Caring about individuals and their progress, showing respect, being
supportive and responsive.
14
TASK 2: GATHERING SUPPORT
Which groups of people are most likely to
support your community project?
Will they be of a particular age, gender or from a
certain area? How are you going to
communicate with them in order to get their
support?
Give your project a name. Draw up a plan
detailing how you will establish contact with your
supporters, especially with an online community.
VALUE: Open to different ideas and cultures
Communicating openly, honestly and transparently, welcoming challenge, learning from
mistakes. Listening, treating people fairly, being inclusive, valuing different perspectives.
15
TASK 3: TIME TO LAUNCH
How will you launch your project, will you start with a big
event? Will that involve fundraising?
How many volunteers will you need to run this event?
Where will it be? Who will you invite?
Then it’s time to think about your project once it’s up
and running. Draw up a list of events for one calendar
month to demonstrate the range of work you will do and
how your project works.
VALUE: Dependable
Standing firm for what is right, delivering on commitments, being resilient and trustworthy. Taking
personal accountability, being decisive, using judgment and common sense, empowering others.
