感謝今日出席既每一位Sutton街坊，向香港大埔宏福苑火災殉職消防員、及遇難者致哀，並為倖存者送上最摰誠既祝福。
相信移居既香港人，雖然離鄉別井，但仍深擊香港。默哀既1分鐘，但願逝者安息，傷者盡快康復。
CitizensUK既Kes，肯定香港人義工力量為社區帶來不可或缺既貢獻。鼓勵在英港人走出傷痛，於困難中繼續彼此守望、互相傾訴。
感激唔少路過既本地人亦系連儂牆寫上祝福。
再次唔該晒大家，勞煩義工們安排各細節💕
節錄Kes勉勵大家既說話：
Dear fellow community members of Hong Kongers in Sutton,
On behalf of Citizens UK, I want to express my deepest condolences following the devastating fire in Tai Po and feel deeply for the people of Hong Kong. Our hearts are with the families who have lost loved ones, with those who have been injured, and with everyone whose lives have been shaken by this tragedy.
Today, we stand in solidarity with our Hong Konger neighbours here in the UK, many of whom are deeply affected by the news from home. We know that when disaster strikes thousands of miles away, the pain is carried across borders. It lives in the hearts of families, friends, and communities who are trying to understand and endure what has happened.
May you find support in the people around you, and may this community hold you through this difficult time. We also recognise the courage of responders and all who are working tirelessly to support survivors. Their dedication reminds us that even in moments of deep sorrow, compassion can rise and bring light into the darkest situations.
Let us continue to stand together — to listen, to support, and to walk alongside all who are suffering. In times like these, unity and kindness matter more than ever.
Thank you.
Kes Gill Martin
Citizens UK
