Sustainability Report 2023/24

Engaging People with Disabilities We joined the Hong Kong Network for the Promotion of Inclusive Society at its Stargaze Camp for All and the Blind. Our volunteers designed and managed the Low-carbon Living Earth Loving Game booth to promote green living and enable people with disabilities to appreciate nature’s wonders. The team and the activity demonstrated the values of inclusivity and mutual respect. Our sustained and growing impact on the community was recognized at the Hong Kong Volunteer Awards 2023, organized by the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau and the Agency for Volunteer Service: • Outstanding Corporate Award (Corporate with 100 or above full-time employees) • Top Ten Highest Volunteer Hours (Corporate with 1,000 or above full-time employees) • Excellence Gold Award (Volunteer Hours) (Corporate & Non-Commercial Organization) The team also clinched wins in the Construction Industry Volunteer Award Scheme, organized by the Construction Industry Council. These included the Gold Award in the corporate section of the Construction Industry Sports & Volunteering Programme (CISVP) Corporate Award for Activeness and the Most Supportive Organization Award. Enlightening and Supporting Young People through Knowledge Discovery and STEM Education Reading is transformative for people and society as a whole. For this reason, we invest significantly in cultivating young people’s interest in reading. The free and open SHKP Reading Club coordinates activities and contests for the community. The reading club also fosters enthusiasm and awareness among young people for innovation and technology, and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education. Today, it has more than 57,600 members across Hong Kong and on the mainland. Our Make a Friend, Connect with Suburban programme supports elderly people in rural areas. During Chinese New Year, the volunteer team – with its community partners – distributed gift bags in Yuen Long Hung Shui Kiu. These included scarves knitted by SHKP volunteers and charming brick dragon models, bringing warmth and joy to the elderly during the festive season.
