The SHKP Volunteer Team has partnered with Yang Memorial Methodist Social Service to launch the SHKP S.miles Journey Programme. This 18-month initiative will engage a group of golden-age (newly retired) retirees from the West Kowloon district as volunteer partners. Both SHKP volunteers and the golden-age volunteers will learn how to make short videos. These videos will highlight old community stories and the latest developments in West Kowloon. The volunteers will also try to get in touch with those elderly persons who are isolated or difficult to reach, as well as those with dementia and their carers to help relieve their stress.
The SHKP volunteers and golden-age volunteers have already begun getting to know one another through a series of icebreaker activities. Both groups look forward to developing meaningful connections with the programme's beneficiaries in the next 18 months.
