Our work
With 1.37 million Hong Kong people living in poverty, it is critical that we each do our part to support communities in need. At HandsOn we harness the spirit to serve in our city by empowering everyone in Hong Kong to volunteer.
Our efforts to empower volunteers
Each month, we run 200 volunteer activities as a free public service, empowering and uplifting not only the lives of those we serve, but also the lives of our volunteers. We engage thousands of corporate volunteers each year, offering them meaningful opportunities to make a difference while fostering team building. With over 45,000 volunteers in the HandsOn community connecting with tens of thousands of individuals and critical causes each year, we pledge to continue harnessing this people power to build a better Hong Kong.
Our support for the non-profit sector
Our capacity building expertise includes consulting, connecting, program planning, training, and volunteer management. Every day of the year, we provide essential behind-the-scenes assistance and trusted advisory to our charity partners, acting as a vital extension of their teams.
