The SHKP Volunteer Team collaborated with The Neighbourhood Advice-Action Council to organize a one-year programme, called "Elderly Home Safety and Environment Improvement Project", through which the team leveraged their professional construction and property management skills to enhance the living condition of the elderly in Tuen Mun and Wong Tai Sin District. The programme offered various types of support, including home safety assessment, minor home maintenance service, and subsidized pest control services, to help the elderly residents eradicate insects and bed bugs in their homes. The volunteers recently visited the elderly residents and carried out home enhancement work.

The parents of the students attended the festival caring activities and visited the elderly residents in the neighbourhood to strengthen their relationship. After completing the ukulele course, the participants formed a musical band and performed in volunteer activities. The programme helped the participants bolster their self-confidence and express their blessings through music performances.
