On 26 November 2025, a fire swept through Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po — the deadliest blaze Hong Kong has seen in nearly 80 years. Lives were lost. Families were torn apart. Firefighters made the ultimate sacrifice. In a single evening, an entire community’s sense of safety was shattered.
The Peak II Foundation extends our deepest condolences to every family who lost a loved one, and our profound gratitude to the firefighters, medical teams, volunteers, and social service organisations whose courage and selflessness brought strength to the community when it was needed most.
Beyond the Immediate: The Wounds You Cannot See
In the days after a disaster, the response is visible — emergency shelters, donated supplies, community meals. But long after the news cameras leave and the headlines fade, the survivors remain. And the hardest part of recovery is often the part no one talks about: the grief, the anxiety, the sleepless nights, the children who flinch at the smell of smoke, the parents who replay the evacuation in their minds.
Rebuilding a home takes months. Rebuilding emotional wellbeing can take years. And without professional support, many survivors carry invisible wounds that affect their health, their relationships, and their ability to move forward — long after the physical rebuilding is complete.
Over HKD 1 Million for Emotional Recovery
Just nine days after the fire, on 5 December 2025, the Peak II Foundation donated over HKD 1 million to two organisations equipped to provide the kind of sustained, professional mental health support that disaster survivors need:
Yan Chai Hospital — to support community-based recovery services for affected residents, drawing on the hospital’s deep roots in the New Territories and its established network of social and medical services.
Joyful Mental Health Foundation — to fund medium- to long-term emotional support programmes specifically designed for individuals and families navigating trauma, grief, and the psychological aftermath of sudden loss.
This donation was made early and deliberately. Not because the full extent of the emotional damage was already visible — but precisely because it wasn’t. Trauma doesn’t announce itself on day one. It surfaces weeks and months later, when the displaced families of Wang Fuk Court are no longer in the headlines but still waking up in temporary housing, still processing their loss, still trying to explain to their children what happened. That is when professional emotional support matters most.
The Peak II Foundation holds the victims, the survivors, and their families in our hearts. We are committed to supporting the Wang Fuk Court community not only in this moment of crisis, but through the long journey of recovery that lies ahead. Every contribution — of time, of skill, of resources — matters. And every person who shows up for this community makes the road a little less lonely.
2025年11月26日，大埔宏福苑發生嚴重火災——這是近80年來香港最致命的一宗火警。生命驟逝，家庭支離破碎，消防人員作出了最高的犧牲。一夜之間，整個社區對安全的信任被徹底撼動。
崇嶺基金會謹向所有失去摯親的家庭致以最深切的哀悼，並向在危難之際挺身而出的消防人員、醫護團隊、義工及社會服務機構致以最崇高的敬意與衷心感謝。他們的勇氣與無私，為社區帶來了最需要的力量。
不止於眼前：那些看不見的創傷
災難發生後的最初幾天，支援是可見的——緊急庇護所、物資捐贈、社區膳食。然而，當新聞鏡頭撤離、頭條逐漸淡去，留下來的是倖存者。而復原過程中最艱難的部分，往往正是最少被談及的那一部分：哀傷、焦慮、失眠；孩子聞到煙味便驚慌失措；父母在腦海中反覆重演逃生的每一刻。
重建一個家可能需要數月，但重建心理與情緒健康，往往需要數年。若缺乏專業支援，許多倖存者會長期承受看不見的創傷，影響他們的身心健康、人際關係，以及重新向前的能力——即使實體重建早已完成。
逾一百萬港元 支援情緒復原
火災發生僅九天後，於2025年12月5日，崇嶺基金會向兩個具備專業能力、能為災後人士提供持續心理支援的機構，合共捐出逾一百萬港元：
仁濟醫院 — 用於支援受影響居民的社區復原服務，善用仁濟醫院於新界深耕多年的根基，以及其成熟的社會與醫療服務網絡。
心晴行動 —資助中至長期的情緒支援計劃，專為正面對創傷、哀傷及突如其來失落之心理後遺的個人與家庭而設。
這筆捐款是有意識、及早作出的決定，並非因為情緒創傷的全部影響已經顯現，恰恰相反，是因為它尚未浮現。創傷不會在第一天就表露無遺；它往往在數星期、甚至數月後才慢慢湧現。當宏福苑的受災家庭不再成為新聞焦點，仍在臨時居所醒來、仍在消化失去、仍在嘗試向孩子解釋發生了甚麼時，專業的情緒支援，才是最關鍵的支柱。
崇嶺基金會始終將遇難者、倖存者及其家屬放在心中。我們承諾，將不只在這個危急時刻與宏福苑社區同行，更會在往後漫長的復原路上持續支持。每一份付出——無論是時間、專業還是資源——都同樣重要；而每一位願意為這個社區挺身而出的人，皆讓這段路走得不那麼孤單。
