As families around the world gathered to celebrate the Christmas season, it was also a time for reflection, generosity, and giving back. Across Shanghai and Hong Kong, Intertek teams came together to support children in need, spreading joy and making a meaningful difference during the festive period.

In Shanghai, colleagues proudly continued a long-standing tradition through the 18th annual Chongming Education Charity Donation Campaign, held in December. The initiative raised RMB 125,112, thanks to the generous contributions of more than 1,550 participants. The funds are being used to support underprivileged students by providing essential daily necessities and educational materials—helping to strengthen learning opportunities and improve quality of life.

Meanwhile in Hong Kong, a festive Toys Donation Campaign brought smiles to young faces at local primary schools. Working alongside community partners and a local charity association, safe and carefully selected toys were collected and donated to children in need. By ensuring the toys met high safety standards, the initiative delivered not only holiday cheer, but also reassurance and care for families and educators.

Together, these efforts reflect a shared belief in the power of collective action and compassion. By giving time, resources, and care, the teams helped brighten the holiday season for children and reinforced a simple but powerful idea: small acts of kindness can help build brighter futures.
