About the SOS Children’s Village:
This year, the SOS Children’s Village of Taiwan in Taoyuan is the designated recipient. As some of you may know we supported this charity last year, and our donation was used for much needed repairs to the roofs and floors of five housing units. This year the priority areas include urgent ceiling repairs & fire-proofing to a class-room area and kitchen repairs, as well as standard food, schooling and related expenses.

The SOS Children’s Village was established in 1970 and took in orphans and abandoned babies. In 1991, in keeping with the changing needs of society, its focus moved to taking care of abused as well as emotionally troubled young people. The Chamber endorses the charity’s work, namely its commitment to promoting the healthy development of these young people’s physical, emotional and spiritual state, and providing them with the foundations necessary to grow to become responsible, positive adults able to contribute to society.

About the British Chamber of Commerce’s Community Involvement
One of the British Chamber’s key beliefs is that an organisation is a member of the society in which it operates, and as such it follows that one of its duties is to work in different ways to improve the quality of life of people in that society.

In addition to its work in Taiwan’s business and social arenas, the British Chamber is also very active in the broader community through its charity work. Every year the British Chamber donates the net profits from its Christmas Charity Luncheon & Auction to a community-based charity that has a proven track record of making a real difference. Over the years the British Chamber of Commerce has raised in excess of NT$5 million for various charitable causes.

Please join us for what is always a fun, festive and warm celebration while also giving to a very worthwhile cause.
