The Hong Kong Council of Social Service is an umbrella organization of over 370 Agency Members, that provide over 90% of the social welfare services for those in need through their 3,000 service units all over Hong Kong.

Our Position

The Council represents, with clear vision and professional expertise, non-governmental welfare agencies committed to sustain and develop social welfare in Hong Kong.

Our Values

The Council and its member agencies believe in social justice and equality, and the intrinsic rights of every individual. While society is obliged to provide individuals with the basic social and economic resources to develop their potentials, individuals in turn should carry out their responsibilities towards their families and society, to be self-reliant and to achieve self-actualization.

Our Vision

To build a welfare sector that is highly accountable, efficient, effective and responsive to social needs, upholding the long-term sustainable development of society and the well-being of our citizens.

Our Mission

To promote the development of social welfare together with its member agencies, through:

• Enhancing accountability of social welfare service agencies; 
• Promoting improvement of social welfare services; 
• Facilitating agencies to better serve the community; 
• Advocating equality, justice, social integration and a caring society; 
• Setting the local welfare sector as a model of excellence in the international community.
