SHKP colleagues often express their endless love and care for people in need in the community. By joining the SHKP Volunteer Team, our colleagues support the elderly and provide guidance to children to foster their growth. 

Enhancing the living conditions of the elderly

With the loss of their self-care ability, some of the elderly have difficulty maintaining their homes, resulting in potential safety hazards and hygiene problems. 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. 

Facilitating inter-generational inclusion through music learning

To foster social inclusion and harmony, the volunteer team again collaborated with The Neighbourhood Advice-Action Council to organize the "Music and the Team" Intergenerational Program at Pak Tin Estate, which subsidized students, the elderly and volunteers to learn how to play the ukulele, a small four-string Hawaiian guitar, with the goal of fostering inter-generational inclusion. 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.
