Many stroke patients do not have the chance to access timely and effective rehabilitative services in the first three to six months (optimal period for rehabilitation) immediately after stroke to relieve them of permanent and debilitating damage.
Stroke survivors greatly benefit from intensive rehabilitation that begins in the optimal period. In view of limited public resources and hefty medical fees, the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council Limited has established the Sheng Kung Hui Stroke Rehabilitation Charity Fund in 2015, which allows stroke patients not affordable to high fees to undergo prompt rehabilitative treatment so that they can get back on their feet as soon as possible.
Your gift will provide successful applicants of the Sheng Kung Hui Stroke Rehabilitation Charity Fund with
3 to 6 months of in/out-patient stroke rehabilitation services provided by the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council. Each application will be considered on a case-by-case basis after assessment.
Stroke rehabilitation services mean a personalised rehabilitation plan, including
Robotic arm training
Western medicine
Speech therapy
Sensory therapy
Occupational therapy
Physiotherapy
Nutrition counselling
Training for caregivers
Counselling for patients and family members/caregivers

Service Overview
In 2009, the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui set up “Act of Love” following the 2008 global financial crisis to help families and individuals hit with soaring unemployment and wage cuts. Reaching out to the community through a counselling hotline manned by trained “Act of Love” contributors, the Province brought brief respite to bearers of burden.
What began as the Sheng Kung Hui’s effort to tackle the challenges the global financial crisis brought upon its community and beyond is now a mission to help disadvantaged families cope with sudden setbacks. “Act of Love” continues to expand its emergency support services against an ever-widening wealth gap and changing times, actively grooming contributors to deliver love and care to those who need it most. Looking forward, “Act of Love” will be making cash grants, food assistance and rehabilitation services more widely available to persons who are not eligible for social assistance in spite of their pressing needs.
Professional support – counselling, social services
Pastoral support – pastoral and spiritual care
… and more.
Join our “Act of Love” today as it grows and transforms lives.

Service Overview
To fulfill the service gaps in a community of widening income disparity, the Welfare Council initiated the "Walk with Love" Family Support Project in March 2013. The project aimed at pulling the resources and synergy of the Sheng Kung Hui Community, corporations, charity funding, profession organizations, volunteer and individuls to provide pertinent and supportive services for the "N-no" and low income families resided in Kowloon City, in the hope of lifting them out of poverty.
Social workers and recipient families would set the appropriate "Family Develop Plan" together and mentors would be assigned to families to give peer care and support and to serve as a learning model. In turn, the families would exercise their talents and potentials to contribute to the society through volunteer work.
When her husband fell ill and required surgery, our employee Lai Xing Ying struggled to make ends meet. Act of Love stepped in to provide her family with emergency financial assistance. Expressing her gratitude, she says "It was with Act of Love that we were able to cope with the cost of the procedure and overcome this difficult period."
