New Day is a non-profit, charitable foundation which transfers either money or professional skills from privileged to less privileged communities, via partnerships with established charities. It focuses particularly on donating resources to medical, humanitarian or educational projects in Asia, in a way that is rewarding and enriching for both communities.

Who joins New Day?

Meetings

New Day meets every six months in Hong Kong at an appropriate venue, and will work to a fixed agenda which focuses on the following areas:

  • An overview of funds available
  • A review of current projects
  • A presentation or presentations from projects that members would like New Day to get involved in. These can be done by the member themselves or someone from the project who is invited to the meeting to meet the group and talk about how we could contribute to their work.
  • A discussion on the merits of the presented projects (any guests would have left at this stage) followed by a firm decision, and if needs be a vote, on where New Day will get involved.
  • Miscellaneous: accounts, media, expansion, etc.

Each meeting is minuted and a copy of all the minutes will be kept by the trustees and distributed to all the members. A website will be set up to provide information on the foundation and the projects it supports.
