The recently released Policy Address by the Chief Executive focused on the theme of "A Vibrant Economy for a Caring Community". The Address contains a wide range of rich and diverse policies that aim to uplift and support various sectors, including childcare, youth, the elderly, rehabilitation, caring and inclusive community, and support for carers. It also includes measures to promote economic growth, address housing issues, improve the growing elderly population, enhance healthcare and education, and provide relief measures to benefit the public. These initiatives bring hope, vitality, and a sense of harmony to Hong Kong as it gradually steps away from the epidemic and moves towards prosperity.   The Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council will take into consideration the relevant content and measures outlined in the Policy Address and align them with the future development of our services. At the same time, we would like to provide the following response regarding social welfare matters:   Childcare and Student Services Childcare services and the well-being of students and working families are key areas of focus for the Welfare Council. We are pleased to see the government allocating resources to support parents. The planned opening of the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Shamshuipo Nursery School in 2024 will provide more suitable services for children and parents. Additionally, our Kowloon City Children and Youth Integrated Services Centre has received extensive and positive feedback as one of the pilot areas for after-school care programme.   Elderly Services As one of the core areas of our work, the Welfare Council acknowledges the government’s proposed measures related to elderly services. Given the shortage of manpower in residential care homes and the growing elderly population, we will work in cooperation with the government’s initiatives to provide flexible and suitable options for the elderly. Our various elderly care service units, including the Guangzhou En Shan Social Service Centre, are committed to addressing the needs of the elderly population.     Youth Services As the operating organisation of the "Strive and Rise Programme," the Welfare Council welcomes the government's increase in student quotas and expansion to cover Form 4 students. These measures allow students from disadvantaged families to participate in more extracurricular activities, broaden their horizons, unleash their potential, and increase their chances of escaping intergenerational poverty.   Rehabilitation Services In supporting persons with disabilities, the Welfare Council strongly supports the government's efforts to enhance support for mental rehabilitation and individuals with mental health needs. We proactively provide more training for social workers in relevant units to enhance their ability to handle complex cases. Our Wong Tai Sin District Health Centre will fully cooperate with the pilot scheme of community mental health assessment to promptly follow up on and refer high-risk cases.   Support Carers Carers for the elderly and individuals with disabilities face numerous pressures, and we welcome the government's expansion of respite care service networks to alleviate their burdens. The Welfare Council strongly supports the government's campaign to promote publicity on caring for the carers, including the "Carer Month" held in October 2023, which raises awareness among carers to take care of their own physical and mental health and encourages support from all sectors.   Caring and inclusive community The Welfare Council is dedicated to promoting social inclusion and has established a multicultural outreach team for the Multi-Cultural Community to assist in integrating into the community and utilising mainstream welfare services. We welcome the government's proposed measures to enhance support for ethnic minorities in areas such as education and employments. Our commitment remains steadfast in serving multicultural communities and building a harmonious society.   Looking ahead, the Welfare Council offers the following recommendations:   Enhancing the quality of elderly care facilities and addressing the manpower shortage, a multifaceted approach is necessary. This includes developing long-term home-based elderly care options to reduce waiting times for residential care facilities. Additionally, conducting a comprehensive review of staffing arrangements, reevaluating the salary levels and working hours of local care workers, and increasing incentives for locals to join the elderly care and rehabilitation industry to retain manpower.   Promoting the employment of the “silver-haired group” and encouraging them to re-enter the workforce can achieve targeted poverty alleviation. Simultaneously, further research should be conducted on sustainable retirement protection schemes.   In response to the legislative proposals on advance directives and dying in place, it is recommended that the government actively promote comprehensive legislation, enhance the capabilities, facilities, and staffing of service organisations and residential care homes in this aspect. This will enable the provision of dignified and choice-based end-of-life care for the elderly and promote compassionate care in the community.   The government can consider reviewing the data and needs of carers in each district. The population census needs to include this element to more accurately grasp the situations of carers and improve district-based caring services, strengthen carer support networks, and enhance the capabilities of elderly day care centres and community services to support carers in the community.   Strengthening the promotion of vocational and professional education, aligning vocational training with mainstream education, and providing diverse learning and employment opportunities for young people.   When formulating a comprehensive "Chinese Medicine Development Blueprint", it is recommended to introduce visiting Chinese medicine practitioner service for residential care homes, allowing elderly or persons with disabilities to choose to receive Chinese medicine treatment, increasing flexibility and meeting the needs of service users.   When implementing the “Community Living Room" initiative, considering adding two pilot sites in the key areas of sub-divided units would strengthen communication with residents in sub-divided units and facilitate a more effective evaluation of the programme’s effectiveness.   In conclusion, this year’s Policy Address has presented specific proposals and project targets in various areas of social welfare, aiming to benefit individuals of all age groups and bring happiness to the community. The government's commitment to implementing comprehensive and multi-dimensional social welfare policies reinforces the future operation and development directions of social welfare organisations. The Welfare Council will closely monitor the development of government policies, express timely opinions, and collaborate with all sectors to build a better and more harmonious Hong Kong.

認知障礙症已是日益嚴重的全球性問題，每年 9 月 21 日為「世界認知障礙症日」，本港目前每三名達八十五歲的長者，就有一人患上認知障礙症。目前並沒有根治認知障礙症的方法，只能通過藥物及訓練幫助維持腦部功能，減慢衰退的速度，當中包括被全球多國廣泛使用的「認知障礙展能療法™ 」(DementiAbility)。療法是運用以人為本的理念，根據患者的需要 (Needs)、興趣(Interests)、技巧 (Skills) 和能力 (Abilities)（NISA），再配合輔助性的環境，為患者建立有意義及無挫敗的活動，以提高患者生活質素及參與度。香港聖公會福利協會(下稱「福利協會」)得到「認知障礙展能療法™」原創人姬爾‧埃利奧特女士 Ms Gail Elliot支持，設計全港首套以本地飲食文化為題的「講飲講食」認知障礙展能療法™健腦教材套，並推廣至安老服務單位及私營院舍。此教材套內容包括七款以食物為主題的訓練遊戲，以本地飲茶文化、美食、購物為元素，例如砌圖決定「今晚食乜餸 」、以一起購物去用作食物分類以及開飯喇主題來將餐具分類等等。每項遊戲都提供不同選擇，設有不同難度，以適應患者的不同能力水平，減少挫折感，及鼓勵患者發揮自主能力。每套遊戲均設有遊戲指示卡和示範短片的二維碼，並且獨立包裝，方便攜帶。福利協會自2020年開展「認知障礙展能療法™」 推廣計劃，以提升認知障礙症服務的質素，當中包括邀請超過40位年齡60歲或以上，患有認知障礙症的服務使用者，評估他們使用教材套後治療成效。結果顯示，參與計劃之長者的專注度和集中能力得以改善，分別上升8.8%和9%，而他們的興趣及積極參與度亦各增3.9%及26%。在情感表達方面，參加者在微笑、愉悅感以及改善悲傷和焦慮方面的效果，亦有顯注改進，分別提升40.4%、13.9%及76.9%。現年 64 歲的鍾女士，為初期認知障礙症患者，接受教材套治療前，很容易忘記自己正在做甚麼，腦海突然空白一片及認不到路，感到很焦慮。鍾女士接受訓練後，逐漸重拾自己對格價計數，閱讀等興趣，自覺訓練除刺激自己思維，更能融入生活。她表示日常購物時會提高對格價的意識，同時增加閱讀時間，豐富自己的生活。教材套亦應用於私營院舍，瑞臻護老中心（油塘）社工何兆麟先生表示，教材簡單易明，加上附有清晰的文字及短片指引，令經驗較淺的員工亦能輕易上手，並透過教材加深對長者的了解。過往曾有一名院友出現遊走問題，院舍透過教材得知他過往是漁民，力氣較大，因此安排他協助推送輕便文件，成功增加他的成就感，減少其遊走行為，並改善他和其他院友的關係。福利協會總幹事劉冼靜儀女士表示︰「感謝『認知障礙展能療法™』原創人姬爾‧埃利奧特女士 Ms Gail Elliot支持，讓協會能設計全港首套以本地飲食文化為題的『講飲講食』認知障礙展能療法™健腦教材套，並推廣至超過260個服務單位。我期望能夠與業界擕手合作，共同創建一個對認知障礙患者更加友善的香港。」除此之外，推廣計劃亦包括提供機構專業同工培訓、舉辦業界分享會等。此教材套亦為業界提供一個設計及推行認知障礙症患者個別化活動的參考框架，有助業界為其服務使用者設計個人化的訓練工具及活動。 

Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council (‘Welfare Council’) was supported by the Urban Renewal Fund to design and operate the Kowloon City Themed Walking Trail. The Walking Trail is the first in Hong Kong to be themed after a district, stretches more than 6.5 kilometres, and comprises five routes, each with its own characteristics. By connecting residents and stakeholders in the district, the Walking Trail promotes the preservation of historical relics and the development of arts, culture, and more.   After five years, the Kowloon City Themed Walking Trail, titled ‘Kowloon City in Transformation’, has completed construction. The five routes are, respectively, the Walled City Historical Walk; the Local Culture Walk; the Community Art Walk; the Waterfront Leisure Walk; and the Temple and Church Walk. Combining the history of the Walled City, local historical sites, art and culture, cityscape and religious features, not only does it link up the district’s main historical buildings and facilities, it also passes on the district's precious history and reinterprets the stories of people and the community.   The operating concept of the Walking Trail involves the integration of software and hardware and the adoption of human-centred participatory design. The latter included public workshops to gather initial design concepts and local consultations at different stages to fine-tune ideas, so that members of the public could enjoy participatory experiences. Some of the public’s designs and ideas have ended up in different sections of the Walking Trail, such as light pole sign plates, informational panels, etc. The Walking Trail incorporates Augmented Reality (AR) technology to connect the main historical buildings and facilities in the district. The use of AR and mobile applications throughout the project enhances the interactivity and fun for the public. The Walking Trail also recruits and trains residents and community members to join its team of volunteers. Through a series of training and practical activities, participants learn the culture and history of the Kowloon City District and take part in the planning and promotion of different projects.    The kick-off ceremony of the Kowloon City Themed Walking Trail was held today.  In attendance as officiating guests were: Ms Bernadette Linn Hon-ho, JP, Secretary for Development; Prof. Steven Ngai Sek-yum, Chairman of the Board of the Urban Renewal Fund; The Very Revd Frankin Lee On-Yip Dean, Holy Trinity Cathedral Priest-in-Charge, St Augustine’s Chapel; Revd Canon Hon Peter Douglas Koon Ho-ming, BBS, OStJ, JP, Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee, Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council; Ir Wai Chi Sing, GBS, JP, FHKEng, Managing Director of the Urban Renewal Authority; Mr Arthur Chan Tsz-fung, Assistant District Officer of Home Affairs Department, Kowloon City District Office; Mr Ho Hin-ming, BBS, MH, Chairman of Kowloon City District Council; and Mrs Patricia Lau, CEO of Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council. Also held at the event was the exhibition ‘Kowloon City in Transformation: Inheritance and the Way Forward’, which showcased the Walking Trail’s development and the district’s history and stories.   Ms Bernadette Linn Hon-ho, JP, Secretary for Development said in her speech, ‘Kowloon City Themed Walking Trail is an important landmark that connects the communities of Kowloon City, To Kwa Wan, and Hung Hom, shaping local characteristics, and creating a beautiful atmosphere. The Development Bureau expresses gratitude to the Urban Renewal Fund for providing financial support to the project. I would also like to thank the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council for actively bringing together various community forces to ensure the smooth completion and use of the walkway. It is hoped that everyone can continue to work together to promote and pass on similar walkway projects to other districts. I would like to invite citizens and tourists to experience the results of the integration of history, culture, technology, and creativity on the walkway. The Development Bureau will continue to fully support relevant projects. In addition, the Government has also launched a project to renew part of the To Kwa Wan preliminary treatment works into a waterfront promenade, connecting to the expansion of the Hoi Sham Park, which is expected to be completed this year.’   Prof. Steven Ngai Sek-yum, Chairman of the Board of the Urban Renewal Fund said, ‘We are pleased to see that the project, from its inception to the completion of the five routes at the end of last year, achieved great results at every stage. That was all thanks to everyone’s support. On behalf of the Urban Renewal Fund, I would like to extend my most heartfelt gratitude to you all. First, I would like to thank the Development Bureau and other related government departments, especially the Kowloon City District Office for its tremendous support and guidance. I would also like to thank the Kowloon City District Council for providing us with encouragement and valuable advice along the way. We are also very grateful to all the resident volunteers for their enthusiastic participation and generous contribution over the past few years.’   Koon was glad that the Welfare Council got to participate in the Walking Trail project: ‘After a century, the Welfare Council is honoured to expand its scope of social services in the Kowloon City District and be part of its conservation work. The Walking Trail allows us to extend our care and commitment to Kowloon City. The themed walking trail presented today, which stretches from Hau Wong Temple in Kowloon City to Hung Hom, is most certainly the result of our colleagues, various community service units, institutions, residents, etc. The Walking Trail was built step by step, together. It also reinterprets the relationship between people and the community and embodies the spirit of the Walking Trail: while Kowloon City is transforming, human connection is forever.’   To date, the Walking Trail has organised more than 760 activities, reaching more than 85,000 people, installing more than 2,500 pieces of hardware facilities. It has been interviewed by many local media and China Tourism magazine. Nineteen quarterly newsletters have been published, with a total print run of 150,000. The Walking Trail will continue to roll out a range of promotional activities to encourage the public, the youth, the elderly, and families to visit the Walking Trail and to promote the integration of people of different ages in the community. This July, the Walking Trail will participate in the Hong Kong Book Fair to promote its own series of picture books about the community. In late July and late October, the Walking Trail will also participate in the Hong Kong Institute of Architects Biennale Foundation’s Roving Architecture Exhibition, bringing Hong Kong’s stories to Kuala Lumpur and Nanjing.

長者慢性痛症中，膝痛問題最為普遍亦容易被忽視。本港有逾3成60歲或以上長者面對膝痛問題，其中退化性膝關節炎是最常見的一種。不同研究指出，預防退化性膝關節炎，可透過非藥物治療和自我管理手法，紓緩痛症，延緩衰退。   2019年，香港聖公會福利協會獲香港賽馬會慈善信託基金捐助，推行為期4年的賽馬會「無痛E世代」長者膝痛管理計劃（下稱計劃），由跨專業團隊提供全面評估，按照其膝痛程度，度身訂造適切的運動處方，協助60歲或以上膝患人士，透過自我管理介入手法，延緩膝關節退化。過去4年，計劃吸引逾1,290名長者參與，他們先經物理治療師評估，再按他們的膝痛情況及體能測試結果，然後使用由計劃特別研發集運動、人工智能遊戲、治療三項功能於一身的運動應用程式(App)「雙膝掌門人」，訂立專屬運動處方。   參加者大部份為女性，頭三個月主要針對痛症紓緩、情緒自我管理，以及飲食體重管理。之後三個月主要為運動管理、和膝友支援。在計劃的第三個月及第六個月，參加者需進行各一次全面評估。期間，計劃亦穿梭中西區、南區、黃大仙等舉辦不同的工作坊、講座等，通過線上線下活動，受惠人數已達11,000人次。   「雙膝掌門人」運用了人工智能(AI)技術，可實時偵察玩家動作，令程式人物擺出同樣姿勢。當印有不同姿勢的卡板向角色迫近時，長者只要做出相同動作，角色就能通過卡板得分。這些動作由計劃的物理治療師設計，分為伸展運動、強化肌肉運動、平衡力運動、及關節紓緩四大類，程式除了附有語音提示及示範動作協助長者完成遊戲，更會即時自動截圖紀錄他們的運動姿勢以及關鍵點（即關節點）幅度等數據資料。長者在與物理治療師會面時，治療師就可作出實用的評語，與長者一起檢討動作及運動組合。   調查發現，大部份計劃參加的長者，在柔韌度、下肢肌肉耐力測試、靈活度及平衡力均有顯著的提升： 柔韌度方面：按照相同年齡層和性別群組作對比，接近三成參加者柔韌度不達標，三個月的介入後，輕度、中度及嚴重組別的參加者的表現均有顯著提升，當中以中度組別的增幅最為明顯，參加者柔韌度總體達標的比例增加至八成半，並能於6個月内維持。 靈活度及平衡力表現：反映參加者潛在的跌倒風險。透過計時起走測試結果可見，參加計劃後高風險跌倒人士比例由4%減至15.4%。 下肢肌肉耐力測試方面：計劃前整體只有4成合格率，在計劃後六個月評估顯示，其達標比例增至7成。   計劃同時發現，參加者的年齡、體脂比例、活動能力、靈活性等多維度指數能反映其膝痛程度。   計劃於本月31日圓滿結束，於5月22日(星期一)舉行成果分享會，一眾參與計劃長者到場支持，其中區錦添先生、馮翠卿女士更與在場人士分享參加心聲。   張偉明先生及他的太太，2人一直有膝痛問題，特別是上落樓梯感到疼痛，但又未至於不能走動，故一直沒有求醫。2年前得知有這個計劃參與。張生及張太異口同聲表示︰「使用App作運動、做動作，很有趣，每次完成一個階段，就好似遊戲般，升級到下一階段，循序漸進，對我們來說是容易及有鼓勵性，也非常享受。」二人也因此培養運動習慣，膝痛問題減輕亦比之前健康。   分享會更邀得香港大學運動中心總監謝家德博士分享運動與健康管理心得︰「運動不單能幫助膝關節繼續活動和變得更靈活，還可以加強膝蓋周圍的肌肉，讓膝蓋維持在正確的位置上郁動。加強膝蓋周圍的肌肉，能幫助我們面對不可預見的情況，例如滑倒或踩到不平坦的地面，並立刻採取糾正措施。」   負責計劃的香港聖公會福利協會計劃經理戴安妮表示︰『運動習慣對膝痛管理極為重要，學懂如何選擇合適的運動組合、時間、次數、強度同樣重要。「雙膝掌門人」應用程式是長者良好伙伴，提醒長者正確運動姿勢，並培養恆常運動習慣，改善痛症。過去4年，感恩計劃服務備受長者愛戴，欣見參加者各方面的表現，在計劃前後均有明顯改善。長者們已升級作「膝友大使」，可教導其他長者。善用科技，結合痛症治療能有效監測長者運動成效，提高他們參與和積極性。協會將繼續利用應用程式及專業團隊，將服務推展至全港各區，連接社區，令更多長者受惠。』   更多詳情可瀏覽以下網站：Facebook 專頁：https://www.facebook.com/JCEPP/about報名連結：https://forms.gle/MqLdkddtJtawDeFy9

本港現時約有33萬居家安老長者，需要長期照顧，長者日間照顧、暫託等服務需求有增無減。面對香港老齡化趨勢，家居或社區照顧、長者健康管理以及樂齡科技應用是安老政策的三大方針。   聖公會福利協會於2020年3月，成功於駿洋邨申辦成立長者護理中心，以回應社區長者急切的需要。惟當時冠狀病毒疫情在全球擴散，整座駿洋邨，包括現時中心的會址亦被徵用為檢疫設施，為抗疫出一分力。直至2021年4月完成檢疫服務後，福利協會隨即開展裝修工程，並於2021年8月2日正式提供服務，名為「恩駿長者日間護理中心」(下稱恩駿中心)。中心除為長者提供日間照顧外，亦針對照顧者需要，延長中心服務時間及特設長者暫託名額，廣受長者和家人的歡迎。   恩駿中心的設計以「以人為本」、「方便長者」原則為大前題，採用開放式設計，配合柔和顏色色調，半透明式的裝置，增加開揚、溫暖、自在的氛圍。中心亦在細節位上花心思，例如在接待處增加擺放拐杖、雨傘的小裝置；梳化座椅設計以減輕長者下肢用力，扶手亦以當代設計融入長者常用的設施上，方便長者、增加他們的自主自在感，亦不失時尚感覺。   「回憶」對晚年是其中一個重要滋養，中心大廳內特別設有「回憶百子櫃」。長者打開每一個百子櫃，均藏有不同的回憶的物品，例如抓子、鐵皮玩具等小玩意，讓他們親手觸摸，回塑昔日開心、有趣的記憶。長者更可在定期更換主題的「消閒徑」上步行，穿梭不同主題的小物、裝置、圖案、聲音等，讓身心平靜、舒適。   恩駿中心於上星期六（4月29日）舉行開幕禮，象徵聖公會福利協會為長者提供更優化、以人為本的社區多元照顧服務。開幕禮邀得社會福利署署長李佩詩女士JP、安老事務委員會主席李國棟醫生SBS，CStJ，JP、香港聖公會東九龍教區主教郭志丕主教、香港聖公會福利協會董事會暨執行委員會主席管浩鳴法政牧師BBS，CStJ，JP、香港聖公會福利協會有限公司總幹事劉冼靜儀女士參與開幕儀式。   社會福利署署長李佩詩女士致辭時表示：「聖公會的服務宗旨，與政府落實老有所屬、以及持續照顧的目標是一致的。聖公會至今已設立近50個的服務單位，為長者提供適切的院舍以及社區支援的服務，滿足其身心社靈的需要，協助他們在熟悉的社區安享晚年。同時亦有為護老者提供支援服務，增加他們的護理知識，紓緩他們的壓力。」   安老事務委員會主席李國棟醫生表示︰「中心積極引入「樂齡科技」，特別在復康服務方面，包括有中文大學捐贈的 「擴增實景復康訓練」 (AR Rehabilitation training system)、「互動機械腳托」(Interactive Exoskeleton Ankle Robot)以及「希望之手」(Hand of Hope)等。相信長者在專業團隊悉心照顧與樂齡科技設施配合下，體驗復康與運動帶來的樂趣外，也達到良好的復康效果。」   福利協會董事會暨執行委員會主席管浩鳴法政牧師表示︰「感恩大家能聚首一堂，恩駿中心的籌備和成立，實在走過了一段艱辛曲折的路程，感謝社署安老服務科同事幫忙。中心起名「恩駿」，代表這裡雖然經歷艱苦與挑戰，因著神的恩典臨在駿洋邨，如今這個地方已經滿有恩典及祝福，相信福利協會與中心同工繼續努力，服務精益求精，為長者與照顧者提供適切與創新的服務。」
