HSBC MALTA P.L.C.
The HSBC Malta Foundation of the HSBC Bank Malta p.l.c. has, for many years, carried out a number of initiatives in support of the family services run by our NGO. These partnerships enable us to continue our support services for vulnerable persons experiencing hardship, poverty and social exclusion. These are a few examples of the meaningful partnership with HSBC Malta p.l.c. that has evolved over a number of years:
Team Volunteering: groups of HSBC Malta p.l.c. employees occasionally volunteer for clean-up events.
Mobilising other CSR teams: Our NGO has also benefitted from CSR days undertaken by other companies that HSBC encourages to get in touch with our organisation. One company accepted to renovate and furnish a house of a poor service user – a first in this type of social volunteering accepted by corporate organisations.
Child Learning Support: One of the bank’s high level employees has been providing one-to-one learning support to a child from a vulnerable family the Foundation has been helping since many years. She has been a regular volunteer for 3 years, spending a weekly two hours helping the child with reading, writing, oracy and homework at the Foundation’s Ċentru Antida Family Services Centre in Tarxien. The HSBC Volunteer extended her support throughout the 2019 summer months as well by visiting the family home and working with the child in his home context to maximise learning outcomes.
Finding companies that are ready to provide professional pro bono services for infrastructural projects. Companies that have responded to appeals from the bank’s Corporate Sustainability Department included Vassallo Group (the group covered the renovation costs of the façade of the SJAF charity shop in Tarxien Road a couple of years ago); Forestals Ltd (their team fully refurbished and furnished an apartments of a very vulnerable woman); and QP (see our Stories from CSR number 2).
Raising in-kind support: Bank employees at the HSBC’s Call Centre in Swatar run campaigns to collect much-needed personal hygiene items for vulnerable women being supported by a number of NGOs, including ours.
Supporting our organisation to market our hand-made crafts products: Our volunteers are invited to sell quality handicrafts at HSBC headoffice.
Outings for families: HSBC fully organises outings for service-using families. Such events expose families to the world around them and the fun they can have together.
Providing used office furnishings for us when upgrading theirs.
During our start-up year – 2008 – the HSBC Malta Foundation provided us with a much needed PABX system.
