HKFYG Flag Day 2020

Latest update:

In view of the latest development of the novel coronavirus infection, to safeguard our volunteers, staff and the public, The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups has made the deliberate decision to cancel the selling of flags on the street on the scheduled Flag Day, 22 February 2020.

In light of this unforeseen event, we invite you to kindly make a donation to help support our emotional health services for young people and enable us to meet the original target of Flag Day. Please do consider buying a set of Gold Flags or the Wellness Folders, and please do encourage your family and friends to do the same. The deadline for the above donations has been extended to 29 February 2020.

A Certificate of Appreciation will be awarded to individuals, schools, companies and organisations which donate or help us raise HK$3,000 or above. Please contact us for further information.

We thank you for your support and enabling us to serve Hong Kong’s young people.

Event Details

Fundraising Cause

Since 1960, The Hong Kong Federation of Youths Groups (HKFYG) has been dedicated to serving the young people in Hong Kong, facilitating their all-round development.

In recent years, there has been rising concern about youth’s emotional problems. In order to enhance their physical and mental wellness, we have launched multifaceted programmes to help them identify and manage their emotions, and assist them in coping with emotional distress. These programmes include Run for Wellness, the Moving Wellness mobile truck, the Wellness Theatre and the Youth Wellness Psychiatric Service Scheme.

As we are celebrating HKFYG’s 60th Anniversary in 2020, we hope to cooperate further with various sectors of the community, joining hands to provide services to youth in need. With the Social Welfare Department’s approval, we will organize a territory-wide Flag Day to raise funds for youth emotional health services.

We are delighted to announce that Ma Jeh, local well-known cartoonist duo, is among the first to support this campaign. They have specially designed ten interesting flag stickers which also carry meaningful messages, helping us to raise funds while spreading positive energy throughout Hong Kong!

We are now recruiting 8,000 volunteers to help with flag-selling. Join us with your friends and family! You can also show your support by Gold Flag subscription or direct donation. Let’s join hands and promote emotional wellness together!

Be a Volunteer

In addition to individual volunteers, schools, organizations and parents with their children* are welcome.

Certificates of appreciation will be issued to all flag selling volunteers.

Certificates of appreciation will be issued to schools and organizations recruiting 30 volunteers or more.
