Myth Busting

“BANKING IS BORING” – No it’s not, it is about working with our customers to realise their hopes and dreams, and 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 is dedicated to making themost 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.

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.

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.

Cycletastic provides assistance to people of all ages and backgrounds, including low incomes and other varying hardships.

Through effective engagement with local people the project has enjoyed support from Brent Council and the local police service.

Case

Studies

This project partners residents of care homes for older people 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. 

Social networking is used to connect to people in other homes world-wide.

This project differs from other efforts to help older people online. It adds excitement, ease of use and fun through new technology.
