Better than Ever Art Exhibition We understand arts and culture are key components that enhance quality of life. Through supporting multi-cultural development, we bring diverse art experiences to the public and strive to enrich people’s life experience through arts and culture, enhancing the values within the communities. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to the Supporting Charitable and Fundraising Events by Social Welfare Organizations We continue to collaborate with social welfare organizations. Since 2014, Hong Yip has partnered with external organizations on PeaceBox, a campaign that delivers love and blessings around the city every Easter. In the past eight years, over 70,000 peace boxes have been donated to the needy. This year, peace boxes containing daily necessities, food, toys, stationery and anti-pandemic items were delivered to underprivileged families, elderly people and the homeless. The annual Community Chest Dress Casual Day received enthusiastic support from our employees. Over 20 departments and nearly 350 colleagues from the head office participated. Forgetfulness, continually squabbling with others for no reason, and loss of judgement are some of the early signs of dementia. In Hong Kong, one in 10 people aged 70 or above, and one in three aged 85 or above suffer from dementia. It is important to know how to properly take care of them. At the invitation of the Sun Hung Kai Properties Charitable Fund, Professor Linda Lam from the Department of Psychiatry, of the Faculty of Medicine of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, hosted an eight-episode video series, called Living Well with Dementia. Professor Lam introduces the symptoms of and treatments for dementia. The programme also has four guests, who share their experience and knowledge.
