The Anglican Church has been rooted in Hong Kong for nearly 170 years and was founded in 1849 as the Victorian Parish in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Anglican Welfare Association was formally established in 1966 to provide a comprehensive and diverse range of social services to benefit people of all ages and sectors of society. The Anglican Church, through its schools, aims to provide an All-Anglican education dominated by the spirit of Christ so that students can develop in an all-round way in moral, intellectual, physical, group life, culture, art and spiritual life. Our social services are of a wide range of nature, including child and family services, child and youth services, elderly services, community development services and other support services. There are more than 230 service units.
