The Charity Raffle 2022 returned after a two-year-absence caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. With the generous support of S.K.H. churches, schools and social service units, and members of the public, from 16th October to 8th December, the Welfare Council raised more than HK$4.6 million. Proceeds from the event went to developing community support services and providing resources for various groups.

The online platform for Charity Raffle was newly launched this year, allowing benefactors to purchase raffle tickets and make donations online at anytime and anywhere. In addition to selling tickets and collecting donations, the Welfare Council included Charity Egg Biscuits, produced in collaboration with the Walnut Shop again, and cute and cuddly Charity Bear as charity sale items.

Some members of the advisory board, sponsors, representatives from S.K.H. churches and schools attended the 9th December lucky draw of Charity Raffle event, which was held at the H.K.S.K.H. St James’ Church David Li Community Hall. During the event, the Welfare Council also presented sponsors with tokens of gratitude, and commended and thanked the S.K.H. churches and schools that raised the most funds, and achieved the greatest increase in funds from the previous year.
