SBHK is a voluntary service organisation born and bred in Hong Kong and composed entirely of volunteers. The purpose is to extend a hand of sympathy to desperate and endangered people, provide support and appropriate emotional relief, and achieve the goal of helping others to help themselves. Our volunteer service is diversified, mainly including hotline, visits, face-to-face interviews, emails and online instant conversations.
