Volunteer Policy
The Mission Statement of the Hong Kong Red Cross states that "As part of the International Red Cross Movement, we dedicate ourselves to: protect human life, care for the health of the vulnerable, respect human dignity, by mobilizing people to serve voluntarily for the cause of humanity." It is our vision that "people are ready to offer impartial and voluntary aid to help improve the lives of vulnerable people."  The reason to formulate the Volunteer Policy is to put in practice the Mission Statement and to set out the Agency's goals and pledges in the involvement and management of volunteers.
