Refugee Union was founded in 2014 and is Hong Kong\u2019s first refugee-led community organisation. With the vision to safeguard refugee rights, since day one, we have been working closely with the community and co-organising diversified programmes to improve the status quo of asylum seekers and refugees stranded in the city.<\/span><\/p>\n

We Have Moved<\/b><\/h5>\n

22 July is the day! After 12 unforgettable years in Sai Ying Pun, where we shared both great and challenging times, this month we were thrilled to announce that we have successfully moved to our new (smaller but cosier) centre in Sheung Wan.<\/span><\/p>\n

You are most welcome to give a visit during our office hours: Monday to Friday between 10 a.m and 6 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Activities at a Glance<\/b><\/h5>\n

Things are going as usual. This month we had a number of activities happening in our new centre.<\/span><\/p>\n

On 16 August, we were glad to have volunteers from Grassroots Future teaching the regular crochet class at our centre. Ladies were in love with their DIY products.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On 19 August, volunteers from Miles 6 gave us a special visit. We were thankful to have Rwan and Jason for offering kids math tutorial class and storybook club.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On 24 August, RUN Hong Kong invited us to visit their office and discussed ways to improve refugees\u2019 assistance. Thank you for reaching out to us and we look forward to the future collaboration.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On the same day, we were thrilled to have Dr Bridget Liu from HKU, together with Grassroots Future and Dignity Kitchen, giving us an art therapy class and helping refugee mothers and children alleviate their stress. We all enjoyed the class.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Giving is a Blessing<\/b><\/h5>\n

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

Thank you for supporting our initiatives and we look forward to hearing from you!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
