About the organisation
Background This fund was established in 1906 when $50,000 was raised by members of the Chinese community to start a trust fund in honour of Mr. A.W. BREWIN, the then Secretary for Chinese Affairs. The Fund was reconstituted under the Brewin Trust Fund Ordinance (Cap. 1077) after the Second World War with a statutory committee and with the Secretary for Home Affairs Incorporated as the Trustee of the Fund. Fund Objectives The Fund aims to provide assistance for: the maintenance and benefit of widows, widowers and orphans; and the relief of hardship of workers employed in Hong Kong who have become wholly or partly incapacitated for work by reason of age, sickness, disability or otherwise.
