During Mid-Autumn Festival, we engaged with underprivileged families in Tsuen Wan District at the Caritas Community Centre, hosting interactive games and distributing festive gift bags with mooncakes and stationery for the children. Our outreach extended to elderly residents in Pak Tin Estate. For Chinese New Year, we distributed 3,000 festive lucky bags to elderly residents in Sha Tin and Sham Shui Po districts through home visits. Empowering Youth Through Education and Leadership Training We also engaged and empowered youth as part of our community outreach. This year, in partnership with Chatteris Educational Foundation, we delivered two tailored programmes for underprivileged secondary students: a beach clean-up on Lamma Island that combined environmental education with english language practice. This was followed by a leadership training activity filled with exciting games and competitions, allowing the students to develop leadership and teamwork skills while gaining confidence in speaking english. inspection skills and knowledge, assisting low-income families to adapt while fostering neighbourhood relations. This effort alleviated relocation-related anxieties and financial pressures while encouraging mutual support. Our team’s sustained commitment earned us the Outstanding Social Capital Partnership Award at the 2024 Social Capital Builder Awards, presented by the Community Investment and Inclusion Fund under the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau. Building Homes with Heart Caring Initiative Caring for the Elderly To encourage the elderly to embrace their golden years with enthusiasm, the volunteer team launched an 18-month SHKP S.miles Journey Programme in collaboration with the Yang Memorial Methodist Social Service. The programme fosters intergenerational connections and creative storytelling in West Kowloon by engaging recently retired ‘golden- age’ volunteers as SHKP Community Volunteer Partners, and guided by SHKP volunteers, to create short media films documenting local stories and neighbourhood transformations. We also provided emotional support to the socially isolated elderly, people with dementia, and caregivers, alleviating emotional pressures of their daily life.
