About Alongside
Alongside is a diverse and inclusive social enterprise, and also the first one-stop end-of-life platform dedicated to providing support to the sexual/gender minorities in Hong Kong in advance planning, and bereavement support.
Leveraging the interdisciplinary expertise of our team members and collaborators, we provide comprehensive advance planning, terminal care, and bereavement support to the LGBTQIA+ community. Our services encompass education, consultation, and counselling in legal, medical, psychological wellbeing, and end-of-life care. We are dedicated to listening, understanding, and accompanying our clients and their loved ones during their most vulnerable moments.
All services at Alongside are provided by the LGBTQIA+ community or friendly service providers, ensuring an understanding of the needs of the community without any discrimination. Adopting a case manager system to handle and thoroughly follow up on each case, ensures personalized service and reducing unnecessary stress.
