Society for Community Organisation

Society for Community Organisation

Work for dignity Society for Community Organization (SoCO) is a human rights advocacy group established in 1972, dedicated to serve the underprivileged community in Hong Kong. Working with limited resources, SoCO advocates for comprehensive social policy changes to ensure the protection of fundamental human rights of people in Hong Kong. Struggle for survival In the metropolitan city of Hong Kong, there are over 1.4 million people living in poverty. Over 200,000 residents live in urban slums, in squalid conditions that are inadequate for basic living with human dignity. These marginalized groups include caged home lodgers, families with children living in cramped wood-partitioned cubicles, sub-divided units’ households, new immigrants, homeless people as well as people with mental illness all struggling for survival.

Siu Hung C.

Hi I am Thomas Chow, a Certified Public accountant in Hong Kong with more than ten years of working experiences in the accounting / auditing field gained from a combination of organizations in the public and private sectors. I am passionate about serving the community in my pastime. At present, I am serving as a member of the Election Committee (Religious Sector) of The Government of HKSAR. I have also been appointed as a Committee Member of the Young Members' Committee of The Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants starting January 2024, advocating and providing support to accountants with the age below 40. Embracing the idea of continuous learning, I have completed a Master of Professional Accounting degree with Distinction in 2023 from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. I participated in a variety of volunteer work involving rendering support to the 2023 Top Ten News Election for Secondary School Students held by the Hok Yau Club, fundraisers for the Rise Wise Foundation and Youth Summit 2023 hosted by the Kids4Kids Foundation. I was given the 2023 Wanchai District Outstanding Youth Award by the District Youth Development and Civic Education Committee. I am looking forward to volunteer opportunities that could enhance my leadership skills with medium to long term commitments. I am also open for ad-hoc opportunities that I could offer support for events or short-term mentorship program for youth.
