Kongtinue, a UK-registered CIC, was founded by a team of Hong Kong social workers and educators. They aim to support children who have moved from Hong Kong to the UK, guiding them through cultural and environmental transitions. Even as these youngsters grow up away from Hong Kong, Kongtinue aspires for them to retain their native culture and values. The recent grant from the Greater London Authority empowers them to further their mission, including initiatives like the Hong Kong Cultural Fun Day.
