Background
We are organising our inaugural fundraising event, ImpactHike. It will be a ticketed event where participants choose from two hike distances and will be held in Tseung Kwan O in autumn 2021. We are looking to build a team of volunteers to help with planning - from logistics to marketing. Volunteers will have a lot of ownership of their work stream and the chance to really shape our first event.
What we have
You will be briefed by the ImpactHK team at the beginning and attend a bi-weekly meeting where we will check in and all share our progress with one another. Volunteers will work closely with the staff team to provide the essential support you need.
Why this is important
The ImpactHike is our biggest fundraising event for the year and we hope to raise $750,000. All funds raised will go to providing food, shelter, employment opportunities and emotional support for people experiencing homelessness. Your help is crucial for us in planning the event successfully and making this happen.

What we do
We work with people experiencing homelessness to help them settle in a safe home, restore their mental and physical wellbeing, build their self-esteem, increase their social capital and discover their purpose. To do this we provide direct holistic support to people experiencing homelessness and empower them to transform their lives. At the same time we build community connections to increase collective understanding of homelessness and empathy towards the people who experience it. We also address the systemic issues that cause the housing crisis and stand up with those who lack the basic human right to safe housing.
