The Refugee Union Hong Kong was founded in 2014 and is the city\u2019s first refugee-led community organisation. With visions to safeguard refugee rights, we have been working with our community partners, donors and volunteers, organising diversified programmes to improve the status quo of asylum seekers and refugees stranded in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

New Centre Secured in Sheung Wan<\/h5>\n

We have enjoyed a free office space in Sai Ying Pun since our commencement of service. However, the pandemic struck and our fortune changed.<\/p>\n

After a few months of fundraising, now we are thrilled to announce that we have secured a new centre in Sheung Wan. We are deeply grateful to our donors for their kind-hearted and generous support.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Giving is a blessing. We would greatly appreciate your small donations to support our basic needs and daily expenses for operating the new centre. The fundraising platform is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Activities Happened in Our Centre<\/h5>\n

While we are planning to move, we continue to be the platform for asylum seekers and refugees to support each other and to engage with a wider community.<\/p>\n

On 8 June, we were grateful to Grassroots Future for arranging us an art therapy class with Professor Bridget LIU from the University of Hong Kong. Professor LIU helped refugee mothers and children alleviate the stress they encounter in everyday lives. We all enjoyed the class, thank you very much for sparing the time with us in a packed work schedule.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On 19 June, we were honoured to co-organise the World Refugee Day celebration at the Hive Studios with Grassroots Future and Our Lives Matter. Panel discussions, art installation, and craft market were held. We have had great pleasure and inspiration with everyone in the event, thank you for supporting us. We would also like to extend our gratitude to the venue and event sponsors.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Good news never comes alone. We would like to show our special acknowledgements to the English Schools Foundation (ESF) for organising an art competition to raise the public awareness about refugee-related issues and fundraise for us. Thank you very much!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This month we received donations of wide-ranging items, which include but are not limited to food, baby\u2019s items, furniture, digital devices, and other necessities.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude to all donors for lending us a helping hand. Your support means a lot to us. As always, we promise to deliver all donations we received to our members who are in need.<\/p>\n

Please stay tuned to our official website<\/a> and social media pages (Facebook<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, and Twitter<\/a>) for the updates. You are also welcome to contact us by visiting our office or sending us an email at info@refugeeunion.org should you have any enquiry. We look forward to hearing from you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
