HKWS also needs lots of help from volunteers at these events, so if you can’t participate but would like to help out, please register your interest by subscribing to our mailing list.

Host an event | Set a challenge

Whether it’s a workplace initiative, setting a challenge, celebration such as birthday or anniversary, remembering a loved one at a funeral or memorial service, or simply a small gathering of friends, you can use your event or challenge as an opportunity to give to your community.

We would love to hear your ideas and can help you with your fundraising plans, so get in touch.
