Charitable Activities

We walked this year to support the following charities:
‍

The Nesbitt Centre provides an English-speaking educational programme for international adults with learning disabilities – also a respite and residential facility, which helps to achieve independence and development of their own potential and opportunities within the community.

KELY Support Group (KELY) is a non-government funded bilingual organisation which provides support to youth between the ages of 14 and 24 in Hong Kong from Chinese-speaking, Ethnic Minority and English-speaking backgrounds. Their mission is to empower young people to reach their full potential

The ACSVAW works to raise awareness of sexual violence against women. ACSVAW advocates for both the government and the community to provide adequate support to victims, to defend their rights and restore their lives with confidence and dignity. RainLily is a 24-hour one-stop centre providing counselling and crisis intervention services to victims of sexual violence aged above 14. The centre collaborates to offer cross-professional services such as medical, legal and social services.

We walked for our community. In 2024 we supported the HK Legal walk and walked to raise money for the following charities:

Helping Hand operates a network of care homes in Hong Kong that are dedicated to serving the elderly population. As CEO Sandy Macalister noted, these elderly individuals are "the people who built Hong Kong", emphasizing the importance of providing them with the dignity and care they deserve in their later years.

Helping Hand's mission is to support and care for the elderly members of the Hong Kong community.

Feeding Hong Kong works to alleviate hunger and reduce food waste in Hong Kong. By coordinating with over 150 charity partners across the city, Feeding Hong Kong rescues over 1,250 tonnes of surplus food each year that would otherwise end up in landfills. This rescued food is then redistributed to provide over 3.75 million meals to vulnerable communities.

In a city where over 1 million people live in poverty and 3,300 tonnes of food waste is generated daily, Feeding Hong Kong's efforts play a crucial role in addressing both hunger and environmental sustainability.

Pathfinders Hong Kong is an organization that supports migrant domestic workers (MDWs) and their children in Hong Kong. They intervene during crises to provide care and support, empower MDWs to make informed decisions, and work to change policies and systems to better protect pregnant MDWs and their children.

Pathfinders aims to ensure that every child born to a migrant mother has access to essential early childhood development support, and that MDWs are able to maintain job security if they become pregnant. The organization also engages with the public to increase understanding and acceptance of children born to MDWs.
