  HK Perma Club is a educative and inclusive space situated in a hidden valley over Clearwater Bay that is empowering the Hong Kong community to re-connect and re-harmonize human living spaces with nature. To achieve this, the organisation uses ecological design principles that aim to improve and promote clean air, clean food and a healthy sustainable lifestyle in Hong Kong. The site is a demonstration of ecological and cultural wealth where creative solutions are designed to resolve the world's most complex issues, many of which are spreading quickly throughout Hong Kong.

  The guiding principles are simple; Care for People, Care for the Earth and Share of Surplus.

  Since its birth in early 2013, the Perma Club has connected hundreds of people in the Hong Kong community that are looking for an alternative to the concrete jungle lifestyle and unjust socio-economic model that has contributed to the unprecedented environmental crisis we currently face. In doing so, they have begun to transform the local food scene by growing an abundance of fresh organic food gardens and engaging many interest groups with workshops and open days.

  Now, Perma Club is currently undergoing an exciting transition phase upon recently deciding to take its work to the next level of demonstrating sustainability in action, rain or shine. So over the next few months, the team will be designing and constructing new sustainable infrastructure that will incorporate renewable energy systems and rain water catchment as well as new spaces to host school groups, workshops and events.

  We would like help with the day to day up keep of Perma Club as well as assistance on various projects within this next step that will require hard work and able workers. We also need assistance with organising and running our weekly tours, workshops and events if you have any skills in these areas.

  If you wish to receive our volunteer info pack or require more information, please contact our Volunteer Manager, Brittany Laidlaw on permaclub@gmail.com.

  We look forward to you joining us for this next transformation and learning about the skills that you can bring to take us there.
