LETTER FROM OUR FOUNDER AND CHAIR OF THE BOARD Dear Friends, On behalf of the HandsOn Hong Kong team and Board of Directors, I want to thank our volunteers and partners for continuing to support our mission to empower the community to serve and build a more caring Hong Kong. 2017 marked our 10th anniversary and we are truly proud of all that we have achieved together—from the partnerships we’ve built to the social impact we’ve made. What started as a one-person operation supporting a handful of NGOs in 2007 has grown to an organization serving 90 non-profits focusing on a range of social issues, from educating children and assisting the elderly to empowering people with disabilities and supporting environmental conservation. While our size and reach has increased each year, one thing that hasn’t changed is our commitment to providing volunteers and volunteer management services to NGOs and meaningful volunteer experiences for the public—all free of charge. Over the past decade we have seen an increase in businesses seeking HandsOn’s services to create employee volunteer programs that address key social needs. These valuable partnerships allow us to fund much of our daily work in the community while also supporting our mission and many social causes. We are grateful to the many corporate partners who work with us year after year. Thank you finally to our volunteer leaders and volunteers, whose talent and dedication enable our mission to thrive. Here’s to the next 10 years! Sincerely, Shaun Bernier Founder & Board Chair HandsOn Hong KongHandsOn Hong Kong Annual Report 2017

LETTER FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Friends, It has been such an honor for me to join an organization like HandsOn Hong Kong, whose mission to mobilize and empower people to serve generates such far-reaching impact in the community. In 2017 alone, our team ran more than 1,400 service activities where volunteers gave their time to support more than 46,000 people in need. An exciting aspect of our work is that all of it is done in partnership—with other NGOs, companies, schools, media and individual volunteers—to whom we are incredibly grateful for their continued support over the past 10 years. Through a study we conducted with research firm Nielsen, we learned that 70% of Hong Kongers have intention to volunteer, but only less than one-third actually do. Lack of time and under- standing of the impact they’ve made were top barriers. It was with this in mind that we launched Serve-a-thon, Hong Kong’s first-ever community service week. In collaboration with the Hong Kong Council of Social Service, HandsOn mobilized thousands of volunteers all across Hong Kong—for many it was their first time. We are proud to have received such an overwhelming response in year one and see Serve-a-thon growing into a major event on the Hong Kong calendar, uniting the city through a week of continuous service. Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We know that all we accomplish we do so together and look forward to working together in 2018 and beyond. Sincerely, Sue Toomey Executive Director HandsOn Hong KongHandsOn Hong Kong Annual Report 2017

OUR VOLUNTEER LEADERSHandsOn Hong Kong’s Volunteer Leaders are instrumental to the running of our year-round calendarof volunteer activities. These individuals commit to lead a specific volunteer program for a minimumof three months but many have worked with us for years. They conduct on-site briefings for all firsttime volunteers, are responsible for coordinating volunteers through pre-event reminders and provideevent reports and post-event feedback to our team.Our Volunteer Leaders’ contribution to HandsOn Hong Kong—and the NGOs and beneficiaries weserve—is invaluable to our work.

VOLUNTEERS USING THEIR SKILLS TO HELP OTHERSIn addition to the thousands of volunteers who serve with us by literally being “hands on” to providesupport, there are many others who use their professional skills on a pro bono basis to assist us withour business operations. In 2017 our work was supported by financial advisors, lawyers, grant writers,graphic designers, translators and one particular IT specialist—James Man. James has beenhelping the HandsOn Hong Kong team to ensure the smooth running of our IT operations sincewe first launched ten years ago.James at our 2017 10th Anniversary James Man Volunteer Celebration event IT Specialist I joined HandsOn to teach basic computer skills to asylum seekers at the Christian Action Service Centre. In 2009, I was asked to help upgrade HandsOn’s website to a more complicated and automated one. I was happy to volunteer my IT skills as I knew that this would enable HandsOn to focus on what was important—developing and running impactful volunteer opportunities to benefit the community. Throughout the years, I’ve also helped HandsOn gather statistics on volunteer programs and community hours served. I’ve witnessed firsthand the impact that HandsOn has made on our community and I look forward to seeing HandsOn and volunteerism continue to grow in the future. 23

HONG KONG’S FIRST COMMUNITY SERVICE WEEKMAY 6TH - 14TH, 2017 Serve-a-thon was born after nearly a decade of the HandsOn team serving the Hong Kong community and witnessing first-hand that the majority of citizens would like to volunteer but often need help to get started. At the same time our vibrant non-profit sector works tirelessly to serve the city’s most vulnerable but cannot do it alone. Co-organized by the Hong Kong Council of Social Service and HandsOn Hong Kong, Serve-a-thon 2017 united Hong Kong in service.

INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEER DAY Each year, HandsOn Hong Kong celebrates International Volunteer Day—a UN General Assembly mandated day to recognize the power and potential volunteers have to effect positive change in their communities. To mark the occasion in 2017 our team brought together 100 corporate partners and supporters to launch the findings of a Hong Kong-wide study on volunteerism, presented by Michael Lee, MD of Nielsen. Responses to the research were shared by Helen Kwok of the Social Welfare Department and Cliff Choi from the Hong Kong Council of Social Service. Pat-Nie Woo and Maisie Lam, from KPMG and Telstra respectively, then shared how their companies are embedding community engagement within corporate strategy. Every attendee to our International Volunteer Day celebration volunteered themselves during the event—over 50 gift bags were packed for an upcoming Christmas party for students with disabilities.UNDERSTANDING HONG KONG ATTITUDES TO VOLUNTEERINGResearch study by HandsOn Hong Kong and NielsenThe HandsOn team partnered with Nielsen to undertake a city-wide study exploring Hongkongers’ views and habits regardinggiving time. 1,000 citizens aged 15 to 54 took part in the October2017 survey, which revealed 70% of respondents would like tovolunteer but less than a third of them had actually served in thelast 12 months. Nielsen identified that carving out time foremployees to volunteer during working hours would help addressthis, as would showing people how their contribution can helpaffect change. The South China Morning Post profiled the findings on 5th December, 2017.
