We welcome assistance from members who wish to volunteer hands-on aid or take part in our community focused efforts. Many of our volunteers have special talents and through our combined resources, we develop solutions and provide assistance in many ways. We also function as liaison between donating organizations and charities. If a company is looking to champion a cause, we can introduce them to the right people and charities to achieve their goals. We aim to raise community awareness and assist training programs and educational scholarships. We also provide contributions to help charities with necessities and arrange for donations of needed goods.

Assistance provided
Needs of the charities vary but the common problem is lack of money for operating costs. The Social Welfare Bureau provides 80% funding to most charities but the remaining 20% must be raised from the community. Staff personnel are consumed by day to day operations and fundraising is an added burden.

We help with...

  Cash donations for equipment: wheel chairs, hospital beds, medical equipment, prams, food, milk, rice, medicine

  Paying for staff training programs, e.g. to improve care of children at risk

  Sponsoring physician/psychologist visits to facilities for abandoned babies and children

  Organizing fundraising events

  Assisting charities with community awareness campaigns and providing links to the Macau business/corporate community

  Sponsoring scholarships and education fees for children in need



Volunteer time
In 2007, over MOP500,000 was donated to Charities, and in 2008 it exceeded MOP800,000. All Club activities are run by volunteers, ensuring all profits are donated directly to the charities.

The ILCM receives generous support from the Macau government, local businesses and the people of Macau. Without their participation we could not operate and the social services we provide would not exist.


  Helping at the homes for abandoned babies,children & elderly
  Delivering donated goods to the facilities.
  Teaching English at the homes for abandoned children
  Organizing fundraising events.

Attempting to fill the deficit, ILCM members visit the charities and assist staff in prioritizing needs and planning expenditures. The ILCM then seeks to provide the needed funds, mainly by sponsoring community events such as the Annual Charity Ball, the Melbourne Cup Luncheon and many social events.

As funds are distributed, oversight is always maintained to ensure funds are spent as planned.
