The Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council (Welfare Council) participated in the Caring Company Partnership Expo 2019 held annually at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Showcasing its services through informative exhibition boards, the Welfare Council also invited elderly volunteers from the Wong Tai Sin District Elderly Community Centre to demonstrate Chinese painting and calligraphy, and present their creations as gifts to the guests. Their creativity received much praise from the guests.
This year, the Welfare Council successfully nominated nearly 80 commercial partners to the Caring Company Scheme. Jointly organised by the Council and the Hong Kong and China Gas Company, “Chef Anchor” was also awarded the “Outstanding Partnership Project Award—Certificate of Merit” by the Caring Company Scheme, commending such innovative corporate-social collaboration and how it can provide support for cognitively impaired patients and their family members.
In the days ahead, the Welfare Council will continue to establish cross-collaborations with different corporations. In addition to community and voluntary services, the Council will also engage in professional exchanges with different sectors and leverage both strengths and advantages in hopes of creating future opportunities and transforming the lives of those who seek change.
