Important Update: Winding Down Our Platform

 

It has been almost five years since we started HKBrits with the mission of helping those moving to the UK settle into their new lives. Over the years, we have had the privilege of supporting countless individuals and families on their journey. Now, as many have successfully settled, and with numerous other organisations offering similar support, we believe the time has come to step back and direct you to the local resources that can best assist you moving forward.

For future support and inquiries, we encourage you to reach out to local authorities and official organisations that specialise in providing assistance:
