Chatteris collaborates with local and multinational businesses, other NGOs, and inspiring individuals across Hong Kong to form a network of organisations all dedicated to offering students in Hong Kong the equal opportunities that they truly deserve.
If you are based in Hong Kong and want to give back to local students and schools, please see our programmes below or get in contact to discuss your ideas. If you would like to join our team as an English Tutor please click here.
“One for One, Adopt a School”
Every year in Hong Kong, nearly 50% of students do not achieve the minimum grade in English needed to enter university, and this disproportionately affects less privileged students.
Our answer is the “One for One, Adopt a School” programme. The model is simple: we enlist the support of supportive foundations, corporations, and individuals in Hong Kong on behalf of schools with a high proportion of less privileged students. Our fundraising allows these schools to deploy a partnership of two Chatteris Tutors to transform the learning environment at the school.

World City, World Education
World City, World Education modifies the existing framework of our “One for One, Adopt a School” model and its proven track record of transforming the English language opportunities available to student beneficiaries.
For the first time, we are piloting a formal partnership of a Local Hong Kong Chatteris Tutor and an Overseas Chatteris Tutor to deliver our English Development Programme to underserved students. We believe this is the first time worldwide a pair of local and overseas language tutors has been formally connected in this way.
This innovative new model promises to provide a more sustainable and lasting impact on the Hong Kong education sector.

Chatteris Inspire
Students in Hong Kong, especially those from less privileged backgrounds, often struggle to see the relevance of English in everyday life as they rarely have the opportunity to engage and interact in English outside of the classroom.
To address this, we established Chatteris Inspire. Chatteris Inspire is a programme of experiential learning opportunities which engages volunteers from the wider Hong Kong professional community to inspire, educate, and motivate our student beneficiaries, and take an active role in developing the next generation.
How you can support Chatteris Inspire:
Office Programmes
Invite a group of students to your offices to help develop their skills, their CVs, and encourage their professional development.
Guest Talks
Lead an Inspire guest talk at one of our schools in order to pass on your experience and expertise to the students.
Day Camps
Facilitate an activity for our annual Day Camps, where we take students around Hong Kong to develop their confidence and teamwork, while allowing them to practice English in real-world situations.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the growth of Chatteris Inspire so far by offering students access to new events and opportunities
Chatteris Life-wide Learning Activities
As a registered charity, Chatteris needs your support to help us continue empowering students across Hong Kong with English language proficiency, allowing them to access new educational and professional opportunities. With your generous assistance, we can carry on offering life-changing programmes for students both inside and outside the classroom to stop English being a barrier in their everyday lives.
Please see below for examples of the work your donations contribute towards. All donations will be designated to our unrestricted English Development fund, unless a preference is otherwise expressed.
