Refugee Union

Our mission is to empower members to selflessly assist each other and actively participate in all matters relating to the life of refugees and the development of the asylum sphere in Hong Kong according to the highest standards of human rights.

Refugee Union, an association or charity in Sheung Wan, Central and Western, is at Unit B, 2/F, 315-319 Queen's Road Central, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong Island. Before heading over it is worth checking the hours, phone number and Google rating below, so the trip is not wasted. The address puts it on an upper floor of a building (an "upstairs shop", very common in Hong Kong), so note the floor and unit number; lifts can be slow at busy times, and some older buildings only have stairs.

Community facilities and organisations usually post their opening hours, activities and enrolment details on their websites or social media, and popular activities fill up quickly. Call before visiting and bring ID; before donating to a charity, you can check the Inland Revenue Department's list of tax-exempt charities.

Opening hours: Mon–Sat 10:00–18:00, Sun closed. That makes 6 working days a week. Many small businesses close for a few days around Lunar New Year and may shut early or not open during typhoons and black rainstorms, so check the latest news before you set off. Phone: 9828 7176. Hong Kong numbers have eight digits; from abroad, dial +852 first. It is a mobile number, and many local businesses also answer enquiries on WhatsApp. More information is on its website, refugeeunion.org.

It has a Google rating of 5.0 out of 5 from 11 reviews, a strong score that points to consistently positive experiences.

Sheung Wan is part of the Central and Western District on Hong Kong Island. The island is steep, with many streets climbing the hillside; the Central–Mid-Levels escalator links Central with the Mid-Levels and the Peak Tram runs up to The Peak. Offices, malls and old neighbourhood shops sit side by side, restaurants are packed at the office lunch hour (roughly 13:00–14:00), and with parking scarce the MTR, tram or bus is usually easier than driving. Sheung Wan's Des Voeux Road West and Bonham Strand West are known for dried seafood, ginseng and herbal shops, which are busiest before Lunar New Year.
