• SHKP volunteers brought great joy to seniors at the Poon Choi lunch in which the elderly guests greatly enjoy their meals • Our volunteers visited elderly people to share some love during the Dragon Boat Festival ‘Big Little Things’ Volunteer Project at Lai Tak Tsuen In response to the Our Hong Kong Foundation, volunteers from eight departments took part in the ‘Big Little Things’ project in October and November 2018 to enhance the living environment of elderly people in Lai Tak Tsuen through a series of simple home repair works. This project encouraged volunteer enterprises to devise low-cost solutions that can be applied in a broader context to benefit a wide range of beneficiaries in the future. For instance, our staff helped elderly recipients set up transparent plastic curtains on balconies and installed ventilation windows in the gaps atop the toilet doors in their flats. Participants shared their expertise to solve daily problems, no matter how trivial, that seniors encounter. Building Homes with Heart Caring Initiative Applying the Building Homes with Heart Caring Initiative to everyday affairs, SHKP has been showing care and support for the elderly and disadvantaged families in the community since 2011. We have hosted Poon Choi lunches at Noah’s Ark for nine consecutive years to celebrate the Chinese New Year with the territory’s seniors. The event has already benefitted seniors living in all districts across Hong Kong. In addition to enjoying a sumptuous lunch and heart-warming lucky gift bags provided by SHKP, some of the elderly participants put on a host of exciting and energetic performances at the talent show. Moreover, the hospitality of more than 100 SHKP volunteers, as well as the Ark’s Little Doctors, also helped create a jubilant atmosphere for the event. Our volunteers also visited about 3,000 seniors bringing with them festive gift bags for two consecutive weekends around the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. The volunteers visited senior singles and couples living in Wan Chai, Causeway Bay and Sham Shui Po. Value Created for Community Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited • Sustainability Report 2018/19 40
