My Story

COVID-19 is a global crisis but is playing out at local level so we have shaped our firm-wide response to reflect this. Each region has identified local charities and over the coming weeks the firm will match the donations under a COVID-19 version of the matched giving scheme policy. Please refer to the Freshfields wiki for details of the policy.

This fundraising match-fund scheme is only open to current employees and partners of Freshfields.

Impact Hong Kong (https://impacthk.org/) - Homeless
  • ImpactHK believes in the importance of kindness in addressing the pressing problem of the homeless in Hong Kong. They provide immediate shelter, help with employment and emotional support to those in need. When McDonalds in HK recently changed its working hours to close at 6pm daily due to the coronavirus outbreak, heartbreakingly hundreds of homeless individuals who rely on this fast food restaurant for a safe shelter each and every night instantly lack safe shelter they have so relied on. At a recent count, 250 homeless individuals sleep in McD’s in the district of West Kowloon alone. This government does have shelters with hundreds of beds but they are also closed. This is because the weather is not too cold or too hot according to government guidelines to open up the shelters. Many of those homeless seniors and individuals have serious mental illness who do not know where they can seek help.
