Following the fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council immediately mobilised comprehensive support. As our relief efforts transition from the emergency phase to medium- and long-term recovery, we are consolidating resources to care for the holistic well-being of the affected residents.
The ‘S.K.H. Act of Love 1126 Fire Disaster Support Fund’ distributed the first round of emergency cash following the incident, and the second round of assistance, along with funeral subsidies, has been progressively disbursed to families in need.
Meanwhile, acting as the implementing agency for donations from the China Social Welfare Foundation and the China Social Assistance Foundation, we are providing additional financial aid to owners, tenants, and affected families through the government's ‘one social worker per household’ initiative.
Beyond financial aid, the Welfare Council is fully implementing medium-to-long-term support initiatives, including bereavement support, Chinese medicine treatments, psychiatric consultations, and play and sandplay therapy, to support the physical and mental health of residents. Fully aware of the importance of neighbourly support, we have organised a series of community care activities at ‘Runway 1331’ and ‘United Court’. These gatherings allow residents to support one another along the path to recovery.
Recovery takes time. The Welfare Council remains committed to walking alongside residents, ensuring that every donation makes the greatest possible impact.
We sincerely thank the community for your continued trust and support.
