In past two decades, the Best Practice Award proudly celebrated remarkable achievements in the social service sector, showcasing valuable and impactful social services that had made a difference in our community. This year, HKCSS has revamped the award scheme and renamed it as the “Champions for Good Awards” to promote the pursuit of excellence by the welfare sector, and respond to the fast-evolving developments and new trends in the provision of social services.
Applications for the “Champions for Good Awards 2024 – 2025” are now open. There will be six awards in the “Excellence in Driving Change” category and eight awards in the “Excellence in Service” category (with one Platinum Award and one Gold Award in each category). The most outstanding winner in each category will receive the highest honor of the Award Scheme – the “Grand Prix Award in Driving Change” and the “Grand Prix Award in Service”. In addition, the “Public Voting Award” is set up to encourage individuals and members of different sectors to vote for their favorite services or projects.
Agencies interested in competing for the Awards are invited to submit their applications on or before November 22, 2024 at 5:00 pm via the official website https://award.hkcss.org.hk. The website also contains details of the background, eligibility, vetting criteria, vetting process and timeline of the Awards.
To mark the occasion, the Awards Presentation Ceremony will be held on May 21, 2025 in the form of a gala dinner at the S+ Summit and Expo 2025, at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The awardees will receive recognition and encouragement from different sectors in this premier multi-sector collaboration platform for welfare services in Hong Kong. We will also invite the awardees to participate in exchanges and sharing activities in China, Macau and overseas, and to work together to enhance social services development.
If you have any enquiries, please feel free to contact Mr Tom Chan and Ms Sabrina Chan at 2876 2412 or 2876 2411 or email [email protected].

We heartfeltly thank you for your support!
