The British Club Singapore’s Post

So, a record-breaking #HongKongArbitrationWeek is approaching with various events jam-packed for the week (21-25 October 2024). If you are anything like me, you are already looking at all the events and developing a huge headache because let's be real, professional networking with hundreds of people and digesting all of the invaluable information you will be sure to receive at the millions of events (fine, I'm exaggerating, but there sure as heck are a lot of things squeezed into a span of a few days) is quite honestly more work and takes more out of you than actual work itself. Or, I am just old - likely the latter. But it needs to be done and what better time to do it than at one of the leading (and if I recall correctly, one of the first, if not the first) arbitration weeks worldwide. However, this post is not a plug (or gripe) for HKAW, which needs no further promotions since it has broken all previous registration records (kudos to the HKIAC team who have been working non-stop behind the scenes). Rather, this is a post for another record-breaking and over-subscribed event during the week, Hong Kong Arbitration Charity Ball! The Hong Kong Arbitration Charity Ball is a staple event started by the one and only Gavin Denton more than a decade ago and now organized by the Hong Kong Arbitration Charity Ball Committee, with the tremendous support of our amazing Coordinator, Ms. Maricel Somerville. Thanks to the dedication and support of the #HongKong legal community as well as the #InternationalArbitration Community in general, we are FULLY SOLD OUT of tables AND individual seats (though if you sweet talk Maricel, she can probably figure out how to squeeze one or two more of you in....after killing me for posting this). For those of you who are part of the 550 or so people attending this special evening and joining us onboard the Hong Kong Arbitration Charity Ball Orient Express, please do check out the website (www.hkacb.net) for details, not only for the evening but also the amazing raffle and auction prizes available. As always, proceeds from the evening will go to very deserving #HongKong based non-profits. This year's recipients are: Equal Justice 平義社 and Splash Foundation. So in summary - come thirsty, hungry, ready to mingle, and most importantly, be in your most generous mood! If you cannot attend but wish to still donate to these wonderful charities, there is a donation option on the website where you can make direct donations.

#CharitySubtypes #AdvancingCulture When the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission register an organisation, its charity ‘subtypes’ are also publicly registered. These reflect the category of that organisation’s charitable purpose, which is what its activities will work towards achieving. Each subtype has a specific meaning under the law. The subtype for discussion today is Advancing Culture. ✔️ Advancing culture includes the purposes of promoting or fostering culture, and caring for, preserving and protecting Australian heritage (but is not limited to this). Some examples of charities advancing culture: o Organisations that promote Australian Indigenous culture and customs o Fine arts societies, musical societies o Foundations for theatre, ballet, and the opera o Museums and libraries o Foundations and trusts supporting these activities ------- ℹ️ Accountants, Lawyers & Advisors ℹ️ Do your clients enquire about Charities/NFPs?
