About HKCSS

Established in 1947 and a statutory body by 1951, The Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS) has been the representative for non-governmental social service agencies with clear vision and professional expertise committed to sustain and develop social services in Hong Kong. The Council has grown since then and is now an umbrella organization with more than 400 Agency Members providing quality social welfare services for Hong Kong.

Our Values:
The Council and its Agency Members 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.
