Staff volunteers
Time and time given again
One tutors a disadvantaged child. Another acts as an honorary treasurer for a charity. Some take on tasks as individuals. Others work collectively in small groups. All volunteer their spare time to serve the community. All are also employees of HSBC.
The Bank's group volunteer activities in Hong Kong are co-ordinated through Wayfoong Volunteers Scheme, which was established in 1993 with funding from the Hongkong Bank Foundation.
With the services of Wayfoong Volunteers in high demand, priority is given to charities and organisations that receive funding from the Foundation and its District Community Programme. Typically, volunteers work in small teams and concentrate on practical work and direct service.
Since inception, more than 2,500 Wayfoong Volunteers have undertaken over 900 service projects. Activities include: working with young people; helping single-parent families; serving elderly people; providing patient support; and working with handicapped people.
