The Hans Andersen Club (HAC) is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) that provides practical help and support for the well-being of children and young people in Hong Kong regardless of race, nationality and religion.

Established in 1963, HAC was named in honour of the renowned Danish storywriter Hans Christian Andersen to indicate the club’s concern for and focus on children and youth.

Currently, HAC operates five centres: the Diana Boyd Wilson Centre at Wang Tau Hom Estate, the Chuk Yuen Centre at Chuk Yuen North Estate, the Tai O Centre at Lung Tin Estate, the Lamma Island Centre at Tai Wan New Village and Storyland at Chuk Yuen Community Estate Centre. Services such as tutoring, counselling, uniformed group activities, support programmes for newly-arrived immigrant families, training workshops for parents, as well as social services to the local schools are offered.

In addition to regular services and after school care programmes, HAC offers children and youth rich opportunities to broaden their cultural and social awareness by developing their understanding of Cantonese Opera, singing, dancing, martial arts, storytelling, and a range of other activities.

HAC is a member agency of the Community Chest and the Hong Kong Council of Social Service.
