With the support from our Principal Sponsor The Swire Group Charitable Trust, we were able to launch a skilled-volunteering matching platform in Aug 2020 and matched over 7,500 volunteers to support 465+ NGOs (as of Feb 2022)!

Together, we’ve also launched the Swire Trust Go-Givers Program which encourages skilled volunteers to support Swire Trust’s NGO partners, creating synergy with Swire’s philanthropic efforts.

About Swire Trust Go-Givers Program

From 2020 to 2022, the Swire Trust Go-Givers Program encourages skilled volunteers to support Swire Trust’s NGO partners and features different educational and experiential rewards that the volunteers can redeem with their hours.

10 “Swire Trust Go-Givers of the Year” will also be selected and rewarded every year based on the recommendations from the NGOs, volunteer hours committed and impact generated, raising the standard and awareness of quality skilled volunteering!

【香港義工配對平台】一分鐘內了解Time Auction 係咩嚟
咁多個香港義工配對平台之中，你有冇聽過Time Auction 呢？以下係關於Time Auction 嘅常見問題，俾你可以一分鐘內了解Time Auction 係咩嚟： （一）Time Auction係咩嚟？ Time Auction 係一個香港義工配對平台，中文譯名係「時間拍賣」，顧名思義，義工喺平台上面參加義工活動後，可以用自己嘅義工時數（Volunteer hour）兌換獎勵。 （二）Time Auction同一般義工配對平台有咩分別？ Time Auction 平台上面嘅義工服務以技能義工（Skilled-volunteers）服務為主。技能義工會運用個人技能同專長，為非牟利組織（NGO）提供專業嘅義工服務。呢類義工服務好多都可以遠程（Remote working）完成，義工可以靈活安排自己嘅工作時間同工作地點，換取義工時數。 （三）賺義工時數有啲咩好處？ 喺Time Auction上面，累積一定義工時數後可以兌換不同種類嘅獎賞。義工可以選擇同社會各界嘅專業人士會面或飯聚，交流工作經驗同人生價值，從佢地身上學習成功嘅秘訣；Time Auction亦會定期更新唔同嘅文化或健康相關嘅體驗活動，義工可以參加自己感興趣嘅活動，增值自己。 以往Time Auction曾邀請前財政司司長曾俊華、歌手鄭秀文等社會名人出席義工聚餐；亦曾經舉辦過抽獎，俾義工用義工時數抽韓國人氣女團Blackpink嘅演唱會飛，獎賞種類非常多元。 【探索獎賞】 （四）點解會成立Time Auction？ Time Auction 喺2014年成立，2017年註冊成為慈善機構。創辦人發現香港人做義工嘅比例低於其他國際城市，於是萌生用義工時數換獎賞嘅諗法，希望鼓勵更多香港市民用空餘時間做義工，令NGO得到自己需要嘅技能支援嘅同時，義工又可以兌換自己想要嘅活動獎勵，達致雙嬴局面。 （五）Time Auction上面有咩義工活動？ Time Auction 上面70%嘅義工專案係線上或遙距可以完成。義工種類涵蓋辦公室技能支援（如平面設計、文案寫作）、現場活動技能支援（如活動攝影、活動協調員）、專業建議和諮詢（如商業諮詢、法律意見諮詢）等。 （六）點樣搵義工服務？ 喺Time Auction平台上，義工可以選擇服務範疇、擅長技能、服務所需時數等篩選條件，搜尋到最符合專長嘅義工服務。 如果唔想自己搜尋咁麻煩，Time Auction 定期有電郵（Email）通知義工最新嘅義工招募項目，義工可以根據分類一次過瀏覽同自己專業技能（Professions）相關嘅項目。義工亦可以瀏覽Time Auction 嘅Instagram同LinkedIn帳戶了解每星期精選嘅義工招募項目。 【探索義工機會】 （七）點樣註冊成為Time Auction 義工？ Time Auction嘅義工註冊步驟非常簡單，新用戶只要喺Time Auction 網頁用Facebook、LinkedIn或電郵地址就可以註冊，註冊後即時可以喺每星期100+項義工服務中搵最啱你心水嘅服務去申請！ 【立即申請】
