History
Christian Family Service Centre was established in 1954 by Miss Muriel Boone, a United Presbyterian missionary, to help Mandarin speaking refugees. Material aid, financial support and guidance in finding jobs were provided to needy families. The Agency was first located in 221 Sai Yee Street, Mongkok and moved to 3 Tsui Ping Road, Kwun Tong in 1965.
Over the years, the Agency’s work gradually extended and it has now developed into a multi-service agency.
In the early years, it was necessary to depend on gifts from churches overseas to finance the programme. However, the Hong Kong Government and The Community Chest have started to provide financial support as well since 1969.

Theme of the Annual Report
One Family • One for Many – A New Journey Takes Place
Entering the 70th Anniversary, we choose “One Family • One for Many – A New Journey Takes Place” as the theme of this year’s annual report. Since it was founded, “family” has been the cornerstone of CFSC and it is also a central idea of our 70th anniversary celebration. On the basis of “One Family”, we are striving to unite those from all walks of life and work together with all our stakeholders to serve people with different needs in our society, embodying the spirit of “One Family • One for Many”.
The cover design of this year’s annual report has adopted a unique approach, where the number “70” is shown to be formed using hand-pulled mechanisms. The process is just like the growth of CFSC, which has evolved into a diversified social service organisation. Walking together with the public with love, our colleagues are wholeheartedly dedicated to serving the public and making contributions to bringing positive changes to our society.

Chairman’s Foreword
For the last seven decades, Christian Family Service Centre (CFSC) has been manifesting the love of God and serving the residents of Hong Kong by helping those in need, supporting families and engaging deeply with the local community. Since its beginnings in 1954, CFSC has evolved over the course of seven decades from an institution dedicated to helping refugees into an innovation-driven establishment that is helping our service users overcome barriers through a wide spectrum of professional and high-quality social services. Our service areas include children and family services, elderly care, rehabilitation, active ageing services, youth and education, mental health, community development, primary health care, environmental protection and green living. Our journey has been one marked not only by challenges, but also by the collective efforts and gratitude of our team and the community, as we continue to cherish the opportunity to contribute to our society.
CFSC has maintained an unwavering commitment to developing new services that meet the needs of our society. Following the launch of our new three-year Strategic Plan last year, we remain committed and have continued to solidify our existing services by leveraging on our years of experience and strengths in serving communities and making connections between various resources to address service gaps, while preparing for future challenges. Looking back on 2023-2024, we have focused on addressing several key social issues of public concern and have forged strategic partnerships with the government and relevant stakeholders to support our service users in helping to build a healthy society.
Community rehabilitation support is one of our key areas of development. Last August, we launched a twoyear Pilot Project on Integrated Community Rehabilitation Centre (ICRC) with funding support from the Social Welfare Department’s Lotteries Fund. The aim of this initiative is to provide continuous centre-based training and an interconnected network of door-to-door community support services for people with severe disabilities who live at home and have intensive care needs as well as their carers. In particular, the project uses a flexible mix of day care and home care services, combined with interventions delivered by a multi-disciplinary team and advanced rehabilitation equipment and technology products, to establish a comprehensive structure comprised of rehabilitation objectives, interventions, assessments and evaluations under the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework. We recognise the importance of including service users in the process and encourage them to formulate personalised rehabilitation plans under the theme of “hope”. We have high hopes for this innovative service model and expect that it will contribute valuable insights and first-hand experience to the industry.
In Hong Kong, one in 10 adults aged 70 or above is suffering from dementia, with the prevalence increasing to one in three for those aged over 85*. This presents a significant challenge for the elderly care services. To promote the early identification and appropriate treatment for elderly persons with dementia in the community, our Mind Delight Memory and Cognitive Training Centre participated in the “Brain Health – Dementia Screening and Community Support Project. The aim of the project was to delay cognitive deterioration and to maintain a good quality of life through early identification and diagnosis, as well as through fast-tracked support for the elderly and their carers in Kwun Tong and Wong Tai Sin Districts. Due to illnesses, losing one’s spouse, as well as issues such as children’s emigration or financial difficulties, resulting in elderly people becoming

vulnerable to the loneliness and social isolation associated with the loss of family support, which can have a serious impact on their lives. To enhance our support for elderly people who are living alone or who are socially isolated, we have joined the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust’s “Reach to Bridge” Community Elderly Support Project to offer early identification and timely assistance to help elderly individuals living alone in Kwun Tong reconnect with their community.
With the elderly population growing in both number and proportion, Hong Kong is set to enter what the World Health Organisation defines as a “super-aged” society. Gerontechnology is an effective tool for helping the elderly live more independently, healthily and comfortably. This year, we organised a team visit to Singapore, where we had the opportunity to interact with local experts and explore the latest developments in digital technology and gerontechnology. This trip gave us first-hand insights into how innovative technologies can create a comfortable and autonomous lifestyle for the elderly, as well as people with disabilities and their carers. Through discussions with local government departments and over ten social welfare organisations, we also gained deep exposure to different strategies and challenges related to digital transformation. These valuable experiences have cemented our confidence in integrating digital technology into more aspects of our services. Looking forward, we will continue to embrace innovation and actively explore opportunities and practices in this area to provide higher-quality and personalised care for our service users.
Mental health issues continue to be at the forefront of social concern. Our Mental Health Services advocates for a strengths-based approach to providing diverse and evidence-based professional services. This entails internal efforts to guide service users through their personal strengths and enhance their resilience and external connections with community stakeholders to foster an inclusive and caring community. That being said, there remains a need for mental health information to be more accessible, approachable and palatable to the public. Our Mental Health Ambassador, Bear Bear (Bear Your Mind), has taken on this important mission by sharing mental health information regularly on social media and joining forces with the Store of Happiness – The Mobile Van for Publicity Service on Mental Wellness to promote mental health awareness within the community.
Young people are also experiencing an alarming rise in mental health problems. Our Youth and Education Services invited representatives from ten secondary schools with in-house social workers to attend two community partners roundtable meetings. The goal was to strengthen the partnerships between community stakeholders and schools, and to collaboratively explore and exchange new service ideas for supporting young people. As part of our efforts to support young people, we have continued to deliver the “Stop Bullying, Step Forward, We Need YOU!” programme with renewed funding from the Community Chest of Hong Kong this year. Using group sessions and art interventions, the programme allowed students who have experienced bullying to navigate complex subjects of interest and to engage teachers who can help them rebuild confidence and find hope at the end of the tunnel.
To stay aligned with the strategic directions outlined in the Hong Kong government’s “Primary Healthcare Blueprint”, namely, “prevention-centric”, “community-based”, “family-centric” and “early detection timely intervention”, the Agency founded the Diamond Hill Family Pharmacy last June. Operated by registered pharmacists, the pharmacy serves as the first point of contact between residents and the local health care system, by offering professional dispensing services and health consultations and by connecting with other health care providers in the community. Driven by our community-based and prevention-oriented approach, we have also participated in the Jockey Club “WeWATCH Healthy Lifestyle” Project, the first public health project in Hong Kong to apply the “lifestyle medicine” model to the prevention of chronic diseases and to promote lifestyle changes as a way to improve health. With the help of personalised guidance from health management coaches and 24/7 health tracking on a smartwatch, the project has encouraged middle-aged working adults in Sha Tin and Kwun Tong Districts to develop health awareness and lifestyle habits that are helping to prevent or delay the onset of chronic diseases.
Providing high-quality social services has always been one of the core beliefs of our Board and our staff members. To enhance the Agency’s governance and ensure the quality of our services, an Internal Audit Unit was set up on 1st March 2024. The unit is run by our staff members who are independent from our daily operations and management, and it regularly reports to the Board through the Committee on Reviewing Corporate Governance and Management Audit. Its responsibility is to review potential risks and relevant controls in the financial, operational and compliance aspects of various departments and service units, while identifying strategies and ways to improve our operational efficiency.
In 2024, we kickstarted our 70th anniversary celebrations with a series of events. The theme of the celebration, “One Family • One for Many”, symbolises our untiring efforts in engaging our internal and external partners and stakeholders, while harnessing teamwork to provide people-centred and holistic support and care services. We are grateful for every member of our family, who has showcased their strengths and put their hearts and souls into serving the public. My gratitude also goes out to all the government departments, charitable foundations, donors, community organisations, stakeholders, volunteers and service users, as well as the Hong Kong Jockey Club and the Community Chest of Hong Kong for their continued support over the years. Looking forward, we will remain committed to working together to support the public and will push the limits in excellence and innovation in response to societal changes, in order to bring hope to those in need and contribute to a better, more inclusive community.
Daniel Li Yat-shing Chairman
Chief Executive’s Report
For the last seven decades, Christian Family Service Centre (CFSC) has grown in sync with the overall development of Hong Kong society on various fronts, including family relations, elderly care, rehabilitation, youth, healthcare, education and the environment. This reflects the inextricable link between social service organisations and urban development. As the social landscape continues to evolve, we are taking active steps to respond to social needs by introducing concrete and timely countermeasures, setting out long-term goals for our ten core services, implementing our strategic development plan, equipping our team with the necessary expertise and building a diverse talent pipeline.
This year, we made steady progress in all aspects of our services. By aligning our resources with various needs, we continued to improve and enhance our services in order to ensure their quality and effective results.
Over the past year, our Community Development Services have focused on supporting underprivileged individuals, from improving the community environment to helping transitional housing residents resettle into new lives. The “CRISSCROSS” Social Housing Project, consisting of four projects situated across Cheung Sha Wan and Tseung Kwan O, welcomed its first residents last June before achieving an average occupancy rate of 80%. Each project is overseen by a team of on-site social workers and property managers, whose responsibilities are to support the diverse needs of residents and, through our community network, to identify local resources that can ease the financial burden of relocating. As the residents settled into their new homes, the social work team held various community activities to strengthen local support networks and promote the residents’ self-sufficiency. A notable example was our project in Tseung Kwan O, Yin Ting Terraced Home, which participated in the “JC Project LIFT” programme created and funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust to develop a pioneering intervention model for poverty alleviation tailored to the needs of transitional housing residents, in order to strengthen their financial capacities, broaden their social networks and open up new career opportunities.
Our frontline workers have worked extensively with children living in sub-divided units, who often lack access to resources and opportunities due to financial difficulties in their families and cramped living spaces. In light of this, our Locality Development Team launched the “Inspiring Hope – Comprehensive Child Enhancement Programme” with support from Hongkong Land, to offer free tutoring, STEM courses and community exploration activities to students from primary and junior secondary schools living in the sub-divided units in Kwun Tong District. Apart from their learning and personal development needs, the programme also addresses the pressures faced by low-income parents by designing a series of services that holistically care for the physical and mental well-being of families living in sub-divided units.
The 2023 and 2024 Policy Addresses outlined the government’s plan to implement measures in phases, to support carers of the elderly and people with disabilities. As a long-standing supporter of carers, we look forward to helping make these policies happen while continuing to refine our existing services. Last April, with funding from the Health Bureau, our Services for People with Disabilities launched the “Know. Your True Self” – A Carer Emotional Support Programme. The two-year programme uses the TTI-DISC international professional assessment as a behavioural analysis tool that allows carers to better understand themselves and cope with their emotions. In June 2023, Cheerful Place – District Support Centre for Persons with Disabilities (Kwun Tong East) also introduced the two-year “Together We Connect@Carer Inclusion Project” with funding from the HKEX Foundation. Using horticultural therapy, carers are invited on a journey to reshape their values in life and take part in an exploration of everyday wisdom and resilience.
Recognising the unmet demand for post-discharge support services for the elderly and their carers in Wong Tai Sin District, the Lively Elderly Day Training Centre launched the “Welcome Back – New Normal PostDischarged Support Programme”, a one-year initiative supported by the HSBC HK Community Partnership Programme to provide immediate rehabilitation support for elderly people who have been discharged from hospital and facilitate their smooth transition into long-term care services. The programme has helped lessen the feelings of helplessness experienced by carers by filling the gap in community health care and related services and ensuring a seamless transfer from rehabilitation to long-term care.
In recent years, building a caring and inclusive community has taken centre stage in government agendas and different sectors of society. To stay aligned with social policies and needs, we have always prioritised crosssector collaborations and partnership development programmes that allow us to achieve synergy, integrate diverse resources and maximise the impact of our services. This year, we launched the new “Co-Create for Good” programme to establish a sustainable social-business cooperation ecosystem, seeking to create social value through strategic partnerships and to share benefits with the community. The programme features an online platform that enables businesses to transform their commercial capital into community investments. Corporate partners are welcome to join us in co-creating cooperative solutions that are embedded in core social values such as care for the community, health and well-being, social inclusion and environmental protection, thereby bringing positive and lasting changes to the community.
Promoting Hong Kong as a green and liveable city is one of our key focus areas. We are dedicated to raising public awareness of environmental protection issues and are aiming to incorporate eco-friendly practices into daily life. To this end, we support recycling and waste reduction efforts in the community and promote community farming and urban greening to improve the liveability of the city. This year, our network of Recycling Stores under the “GREEN@COMMUNITY” initiative has been expanded after being contracted by the Environmental Protection Department to operate “GREEN@KWAI FONG” and “GREEN@TAI WO HAU”, which are our first recycling stations in public housing estates and also the first in Kwai Tsing District. We also took over the operations of “GREEN@HUNG HOM” after its relocation to Wuhu Street in April 2023, along with our operation of “GREEN@WALLED CITY” and “GREEN@TO KWA WAN”, our services covering the Kowloon City District. We will strive to encourage residents to practise clean recycling and green living habits, and make good use of the recycling facilities available in the community. To implement our community-driven service philosophy, we piloted the Jockey Club “Look for Green” Mobile Recycling Programme across East Kowloon communities such as Tseung Kwan O, Sai Kung, Wong Tai Sin and Kowloon City with funding from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust. Last year, we also introduced Hong Kong’s first electric vehicle (EV VAN), “Mini Look Look,” and extended our services to include rural regions and areas with “three-nil” buildings, such as Yuen Long, Yau Ma Tei, and Jordan, in order to promote the concept of green living for all.
With our three-year Strategic Plan (2023-2025) unveiled in 2023, we have established development goals and detailed plans based on four key strategic development directions: human resource management, talent development, quality management, and technology applications and digitalisation. In addition, we are responding to current social needs by focusing the combined strengths and collective efforts of our core services on developing forward-looking and sustainable services in relation to caregiver support, poverty alleviation, mental health and medical-social collaborations.
To support our long-term development and the goals outlined in our Strategic Plan regarding staff capacity building and cultivating a learning culture, we established the Learning and Talent Development Unit, which is focused on enhancing the capabilities and training of our staff members. Last year, we completed the “Growth Mind Power Programme” and formed cross-functional teams to generate innovative and boundarypushing service ideas that span different disciplines. To prepare the Agency to face future challenges, we will collaborate on a wider scale and continue to nurture a creative culture. Our Human Resources Department has also formulated a series of strategies to attract and recruit talented individuals. This year, we participated in an array of recruitment activities organised by higher education institutions and external groups to draw more aspiring individuals and young talent into the social services sector.
This year marked the 70th anniversary of the Agency. The success of our core services is underpinned by the persistence and hard work of our team, who has laid a solid foundation for their comprehensive and stable development and our collective growth. I would also like to thank the Board of Directors and the government departments, organisations and stakeholders for working together to respond to societal needs. Looking ahead, my team and I will stand firm in our duties and beliefs, and will embody the spirit of our 70th anniversary theme, “One Family • One for Many”, by bringing together internal and external expertise and continuing to contribute to the community with high-quality and innovative services.
Ivy Leung Siu-ling Chief Executive
Corporate Governance
We were delighted to have Mr. Chris Sun Yuk-han, JP, Secretary for Labour and Welfare, as our guest of honour during the 69th Annual General Meeting.
Governance Structure
Christian Family Service Centre (CFSC) has continued to provide appropriate and high-quality services to the community for many years. On the basis of a robust governance structure, we are striving to enhance the Agency’s capabilities about resource management and innovation, in order to respond to the public’s demand for the quality and capacity of our services.
The highest decision-making body in the Agency is its Board of Directors, which is tasked with performing organisational governance responsibilities, as well as leading and supervising the Agency’s development strategies and performance. A succession mechanism regulates the terms of office and the number of consecutive terms allowable for Directors. This mechanism ensures that the Board of Directors operates in a transparent, independent and open manner. As sustainable development has become a dominant trend, CFSC places great importance on its institutional governance and is keeping pace with the times.
The Development Committee, Finance and Personnel Committee, and the Committee on Reviewing Corporate Governance and Management Audit are set up under the Board of Directors to enhance CFSC’s corporate management, provide strategic guidance, and promote organisational development.
With the changes in the social environment, we have set goals for talent development and fostering a culture of learning in our Strategic Plan. In this regard, we have established a Learning and Talent Development Unit, with a focus on assisting in the development of talent and the provision of relevant training. The promotion of cross-unit collaborations under this initiative allows the respective advantages of different service units to be combined, while the resulting co-creation of innovative ideas will enable us to serve the community better.
In order to enhance our internal governance and service quality management, we established an Internal Audit Unit in March of this year. The team reports to the Board of Directors through the Committee on Reviewing Corporate Governance and Management Audit. The audit is performed on the basis of our approved annual audit plan by personnel who are independent from our daily operations and management, while the goal of the audit is to review the potential risks in the financial, operational and compliance aspects of our various departments and service units, as well as the related control measures. The audit process also identifies opportunities where we can improve our operational efficiency.
Effective Communication
Good communication can promote a positive organisational culture, robust governance and effective policies. In this regard, the Agency is active in building an open, honest, harmonious and inclusive working environment. It attaches great importance to promoting communication and coordination between management and staff members, as well as between various departments.
Therefore, we will continue to optimise a conducive environment for the use of information technology, which includes the provision of hardware, resources and training, while promoting the exchange and sharing of information and knowledge through the intranet.
The Agency has invested a lot of resources to improve its website and intranet, to strengthen information exchanges internally and externally.
With the continuous optimisation of our information technology environment, more communication channels have been established for our staff, facilitating connections between the various departments of CFSC.
We regularly hold cross-departmental meetings to promote communication between our management and staff, during which the CFSC’s management strategies are conveyed, while goals and plans are jointly formulated. The meetings also allow colleagues from different departments to report and update the development of their services, and to share their experiences and insights, thereby increasing the level of engagement and sense of belonging to CFSC.
We regularly hold cross-departmental meetings to ensure good communication between our management and staff, for all of us to work together to achieve our plans and goals.
To deepen our colleagues’ legal knowledge, the Agency organised a lecture to teach them the correct legal concepts.
In order to strengthen the level of communication between the Board of Directors and our various departments, our Board members regularly visited some of the service units. This year, the Board members visited the “CRISSCROSS” Social Housing Project and Wellness Zone –Integrated Community Centre for Mental Wellness, during which they communicated and exchanged ideas with frontline staff and service users, in order to understand the ongoing development and the needs of our services. The Board members appreciated the efforts and creativity of our colleagues. They will continue to visit more service units in the future, to gain insights into service development and enhance communication.
To learn first-hand about the working environments of our colleagues in different departments, our management also paid several visits to other service units last year. By exchanging opinions, the management learned about the working situation and challenges faced by our frontline colleagues, which have been noted for future follow-ups and the formulation of strategic plans.
Quality Management
In order to monitor the effectiveness and quality of the services we provide, we have established a set of frameworks, mechanisms and procedures to ensure the quality of our services. This facilitates the systematic self-evaluation of all departments under the Agency, allowing each department to review its work effectiveness and to improve its development strategies continuously. In order to uphold independence and objectivity, the Agency regularly reviews its overall service level, monitors its key performance indicators and maintains overall service quality standards (SQSs) through the Committee on Reviewing Corporate Governance and Management Audit and the Strategic Leadership Committee. In addition, the Internal Audit Unit reviews and optimises the Agency’s overall governance policies, while enhancing our internal audit system to allow us to assess better and drive our service performance and quality. The Performance Management Unit is responsible for reviewing the quality standard of the service units supported by the Lump Sum Grant to ensure compliance with the regulations. The Agency also encourages all departments to conduct regular self-assessments of their performance and propose improvement suggestions that can respond effectively and appropriately to societal needs.
The Agency cares for the safety and health of its employees and has implemented a safety management system. The Performance Management Unit conducts various occupational safety and health audits to help control risks and comply with the safety management regulations and requirements, thereby ensuring that all employees work in a safe and healthy environment. It is also committed to improving the quality of all service units in their daily service provisions, as well as our customer service, in an effort to provide more attentive and personalised services and information to our service users.
Policies and Guidelines
The Strategic Leadership Committee and the Quality Improvement Committee review and optimise our policies and guidelines annually. In 2023-2024, we have continued to strictly abide by the statutory rules, regulations and provisions set out under the Companies Ordinance, Education Ordinance, Lump Sum Grant (LSG) Manual, LSG Best Practice Manual (Level One) Guidelines and the SQSs.
Strategic Plan
As entering its 70th anniversary year, CFSC adheres to continuous innovation and the pursuit of service effectiveness. We have established four strategic directions to drive our transformation, including a new three-year Strategic Plan (2023-2025) launched last year, focusing on human resource management, talent development, quality management, and technology applications and digitalisation. To better respond to the needs of our service users, we have identified four priority development projects concerning carer services, poverty alleviation services, mental health services and medical-social cooperation, while working with all sectors of society to embrace future opportunities and challenges.

70 th Anniversary Celebration
One Family • One For Many
2024 marks the 70th anniversary of CFSC. As part of the celebration, we organised a series of events that honoured our core values of family and love, under the overarching theme of “One Family • One For Many”.
“Family” was our cornerstone when we were founded seven decades ago. Today, we hope to commemorate this milestone by uniting all walks of life, both internally and externally, and by offering diverse and flexible services that respond to social needs. “One Family” symbolises the unity of CFSC as a big family where professionals from different fields join hands and combine their strengths to work and grow towards a common goal: serving the public wholeheartedly.
“One For Many” reflects how our family-centred philosophy, agility and collaborative spirit translate into people-oriented, diversified and innovative services that pass on the love of God to those in need.
Looking forward, we will continue to work as a family and offer innovative, high-quality services, while seizing every new opportunity to build a harmonious and beautiful community and grow alongside the city. Learn more about
A Brand Refresh for Our 10 Core Services
The agency is rooted in 10 core family-centred values: Love Your Family, Dream, Care for Elders, Caring, Hope, Flourishing, Health, Social Inclusion, Livable City and Justice. We are committed to expanding our services in response to the evolving needs of our society. In celebration of our 70th anniversary, we have prepared a series of new concept posters and promotional videos for our core services that highlight our ingenuity and commitment to keeping abreast of future trends.
70 th Anniversary Partner Luncheon
The brand-new concept of the 70th anniversary commemorative poster incorporated different service targets and CFSC’s 10 core values to illustrate our belief in serving the public.
Staff from various service units and service users took part in the production of a new promotional video capturing the theme of “One Family • One For Many”.

Our 70th anniversary celebration kicked off with the “CFSC 70th Anniversary Partner Luncheon”. We were honoured to have Mr. Ho Kai-ming, JP, Under Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Mr. Chen Zi-ming, representative of The Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and Ms. Wong Yin-yee, JP, Acting Director of Social Welfare as the officiating guests.

More than 200 partners attended the luncheon to engage and share this significant moment. An exhibition introducing the four pillars of our future service development outlined in our Strategic Plan was also displayed at the venue to promote communication and collaborations with various partners.
This spectacular event was not only a celebration of our 70th anniversary, but also a valuable opportunity to strengthen partnerships and set out our vision for the future.
More than 200 partners from the Legislative Council and the education and business sectors joined us in celebrating our 70th anniversary.
Display boards were erected at the venue to introduce our four pillars of service development and give the guests a better insight into our services.
“Gathering Strength to Build a Community” 70 th Anniversary Service Expo
Kwun Tong District is where the CFSC’s headquarters have established roots for nearly six decades and where our first major event took place. We held the “Gathering Strength to Build a Community” 70th Anniversary Service Expo at YM2 Yue Man Square in Kwun Tong, aiming to introduce our latest services to the residents of Kwun Tong. We invited Mr. Leung Po-wah, Taddy, District Social Welfare Officer (Kwun Tong) of the Social Welfare Department, Mr. Lam Fuk-leong, Jack, Assistant District Officer (Kwun Tong), and Ms. Kwok Sau-wan, Sharon, our Charity Ambassador, to officiate at the opening ceremony alongside Rev.

During the opening ceremony, the officiating guests paid tribute to the theme of the CFSC’s 70th anniversary celebration – “One Family • One For Many”.
Guests from various sectors, community groups, close partners and local residents enjoyed a day filled with excitement and activities. Highlights included a sharing session led by our Charity Ambassador, Ms. Kwok Sau-wan, Sharon, who recounted her experience with voluntary work and a creative catwalk performance coorganised by our service users and staff members to showcase the CFSC’s 10 core services. A line-up of interactive workshops, booths and exhibitions were also featured, to promote the CFSC’s diverse spectrum of services.
Staff and service users organised a one-of-akind catwalk performance to showcase the CFSC’s 10 core services.
70 th Anniversary: A Historic Milestone
Since its establishment in 1954, CFSC has been a social welfare organisation devoted to supporting and promoting the functioning of families in Hong Kong. Over the last seven decades, we have never ceased to evolve with the times, address societal needs and serve the public. In the face of an ever-changing society, our dedicated team has worked together to establish a diverse range of innovative services and create numerous milestones. We invite you to scan the QR code to learn more about our 70-year legacy and to look back on some of the memorable moments from our journey.
Strategic Plan
With a focus on responding to social changes and new challenges effectively and fulfilling our mission and values, we have developed a new three-year Strategic Plan (2023-2025) by reviewing our past achievements and exploring future opportunities. To integrate our strengths and in alignment with the relevant policies, the plan sets out four key Service Development Areas and four Organisational Development Strategies.
Through a set of well-defined development goals and strategic solutions, the plan will ensure that our services are closely aligned and evolve together with changes in the social environment. It also makes full use of our strengths and resources to support interdisciplinary, cross-functional and cross-sectoral collaborations and provide services that are forward-looking, sustainable, timely and fit for purpose. The four Service Development Areas include carer support, poverty alleviation, medical-social collaborations and mental health services.
Diverse Forms of Support to Alleviate Carer Stress
In recent years, the notion of carers’ well-being has gained significant traction. Putting carers of the elderly and disabled at the top of our agenda, we will leverage our extensive experience in providing core carer support services and tailor our diverse suite of offerings to carers’ needs, in order to relieve their stress and identify carers with invisible and special needs. Our proactive approach will ensure that carers receive the care and support they deserve.
Proposed services include a Mobile Outreach Van for Carers that will actively engage with carers in the community who have yet to discover or receive support that meets their needs. This initiative will provide carers with on-the-spot consultations and referral services for the early identification of issues and support for vulnerable and at-risk individuals. A peer support and interactive model will also be adopted to foster a carerfriendly culture and community.
We offered a diverse range of services to alleviate the stress and anxiety associated with caregiving.
We provide tutoring and extracurricular activities for children from low-income families to encourage their all-round development.
The “Together We Connect@Carer Inclusion Project” utilised horticultural therapy to help carers build resilience and mental strength, and to promote self-care while caring for others.
Promoting Self-Reliance to Improve the Lives of Those Living in Poverty
With our frontline staff frequently working with the residents of sub-divided units and eligible residents of transitional housing in Kwun Tong, the poorest district in Hong Kong according to statistics, poverty alleviation is a key priority in our service development. In the short term, we aim to address the economic needs of underprivileged families and improve their quality of life through tangible and immediate forms of support, such as material and financial assistance. In the medium to long term, the focus will shift to helping those in need develop essential life and vocational skills. Through diverse capacity-building activities such as skills training and work placements, we will empower disadvantaged individuals to take their future into their own hands and break the cycle of poverty.
We promote cross-sector collaborations to embed inclusivity and the spirit of care into the fabric of disadvantaged communities.
We also connect and collaborate with various sectors to provide learning and development opportunities for social vulnerable groups. This includes securing disability-friendly job positions and work experience for people with intellectual or other disabilities, and offering free health check-ups for underprivileged individuals with disabilities.
Medical-Social Collaborations for the Early Identification of Health Risks
Our Primary Health Care Services actively cooperate with various units, to establish a diverse medical-social service model for the early identification of health care needs among service users and members of the community. By integrating medical and social elements, we enhance the medical knowledge of our social workers to enable timely referrals and provide holistic care through a strategic focus on disease prevention. Another aspect of our services is digital management. We are exploring the possibility of developing an “Electronic Health Records Management Programme” to streamline our service appointments, facilitate data collection and integrate health data with medical intervention models. The goal is to ensure comprehensive and effective services, while providing a frame of reference for service planning.
Managed by registered pharmacists, our Diamond Hill Family Pharmacy offers professional dispensing services and health consultations as part of the local health care network.
Promoting Self-Care and Better Mental Health for All
As a key strategy to promote better mental health, we advocate for “self-care” by organising educational activities, forming community support networks and conducting joint research with other sectors. Our services are centred around exploring the relationship between a family and an individual’s mental health development through research on physical, mental, social and spiritual health indices, and by providing relevant recommendations and support for those in need. In addition, we provide skills training to our staff and adopt an evidence-based method to support vulnerable individuals within the community, with the goal of promoting self-care and fostering holistic health.
With a focus on family mental health, a diverse range of educational programmes and support services are arranged to improve public knowledge about physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being.
We promote the concepts of health through various educational activities and provide the corresponding support.

Highlights of the Year
2023
April
The Agency took over the operation of “GREEN@ HUNG HOM” from 1 st April at its new location on Wuhu Street, where it now provides recycling services to around 50 housing estates. Multiple Recycling Spots were also set up in the surrounding neighbourhoods to promote clean recycling and waste reduction.
June
Diamond Hill Family Pharmacy was established in June to offer high-quality pharmacy services as the hub of affordable primary health care for local residents. By setting up community pharmacies and expanding the coverage of primary health care services, our team of pharmacists and health care professionals worked together to develop referral mechanisms and a community-based model of preventive primary health care services focused on the patient’s physical and mental needs.
June
Supported by the Housing Bureau, our “ CRISSCROSS ” Social Housing Project welcomed the first residents of Shun Ting Terraced Home, Cheung Sha Wan, in June. The three housing projects in Tseung Kwan O later followed suit. The programme offers 1,211 residential units in total through those four projects, each overseen by a team of resident social workers and property managers to support the comprehensive needs of residents.
August
The Agency launched a two-year Pilot Project on Integrated Community Rehabilitation Centre with support from the Social Welfare Department’s Lotteries Fund, with the aim to provide people with severe disabilities who live at home and have intensive care needs and their carers with continuous community support that combines day care and home care services.

Through services such as early identification, timely assistance, referral services and home maintenance, the project aims to re-connect the elderly with their community and promote ageing in place.
December
The Agency was contracted by the Environmental Protection Department to operate our first “GREEN@COMMUNITY” stations – “GREEN@KWAI FONG” and “GREEN@TAI WO HAU” – in public housing estates, thereby expanding our environmental protection services to include Kwai Tsing District.
December 2024
The Mind Delight Memory and Cognitive Training Centre received a grant of around HK$10 million from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust to launch a 3.5-year Jockey Club “Brain Health – Dementia Screening and Community Support Project”, which is aimed at providing early identification and diagnosis of dementia, as well as early interventions for 400 elderly people and 100 carers in Kwun Tong and Wong Tai Sin Districts every year.
March
Vital Employee Service Consultancy (Vital) received its second-ever Excellent Wellness Provider Award at the 2023/2024 HR Excellence Awards organised by the Hong Kong Institute of Human Resource Management. This recognition reaffirmed our dedication to promoting employees’ physical and mental well-being, building partnerships between businesses and social service organisations, and our influence and achievements in the HR industry.
March
An Internal Audit unit was set up on 1st March to review potential risks and the relevant controls in the financial, operational and compliance aspects of various departments and explore opportunities to improve our operational efficiency. It is run by staff members who are independent from our daily operations and management, in accordance with our approved annual audit plan.
Children and Family Services
Service Orientation
Last year, the number of cases processed by the Family Energizer (Integrated Family Service) increased by 9% compared to the previous year. Among them, 37% involved those seeking help for issues with family relationships; 24% needed help with economic, unemployment and housing issues; and 17% were related to emotional problems, indicating that our service users were facing significant pressure in their lives. In light of this, Children and Family Services reached out to the community proactively to identify and support families with hidden needs. Relaxing and fun activities were also organised to support the diverse needs of service users.
Service Highlights
Identifying and Supporting Individuals Affected by Family Issues through Outreach
Collaborating with Local Schools to Promote Parent Education
The Family Energizer has been running the “Stormy Days – Parents Support Scheme” parent support programme since 2021, aiming to improve the relationships between parents and their children who are going through the rebellious growth phase. In addition to organising seminars and parent support groups, we collaborated with four
local secondary schools and two local primary schools to strengthen parent-child communication and relationships, by educating parents on parenting concepts that are rooted in humanistic-existential theories. The service has now reached more than 1,200 beneficiaries.
Early Identification of High-Conflict Families through Outreach Activities
Last year, the police recorded 9.5% more cases of domestic violence compared to the previous year, which highlights the growing severity of this issue. To raise public awareness of the support services that are available, the Serene Court (Refuge Centre for Women) actively engaged with different stakeholders in the community to introduce our services and referral mechanisms and conducted outreach activities in Yuen Long, a district with a high prevalence of domestic violence, to provide early assessments and case consultations. Over the last year, we connected with more than 100 community members to provide timely identification and support for families at risk of domestic violence.
Encouraging Families to Play Together – Strengthening Family Bonds through Laughter
To help disadvantaged families from deprived backgrounds stay involved in society and improve their everyday lives, the Family Energizer chose “play” as this year’s theme, encouraging family members to play together as a simple, direct way of improving family interactions. Using games, sports, music and other activities, the team aimed to improve physical, mental and spiritual health in underprivileged families, thereby promoting family communication and enriching spousal and parent-child relationships.
“Home-Cooked
The Family Energizer continued to cooperate with the Hong Kong and China Gas Company and co-organised the “Home-Cooked Love” programme last year. We reached out to underprivileged families in the community through a series of activities designed to promote parent-child communication and interaction, such as the “Memory Board Game Challenge” and a parent-child cookoff. The activities attracted a total of 177 participants, many of whom were fathers and grandfathers, who are usually less present in family life than their female counterparts, which underscored the importance of diversity in the activities we offer.
32 parent-child teams became the first to try out our original tabletop game “Family Delights – Brain Challenge” as they competed in a knockoutstyle competition and put their memories to the test in a heart-warming atmosphere.
Uniting Families with Dragon Boat Training
The Family Energizer organised Hong Kong’s first introductory dragon boat programme, designed for children aged 7-12 to nurture the next generation of dragon boat talent. Under the instruction of a coach, ten children learned how to paddle and trained to compete as a team in a sport that helps to foster their physical fitness, confidence and team spirit. Meanwhile, the parents pitched in with unwavering enthusiasm and support, cheering on the sidelines as their children trained diligently.
Enhancing Marital Relationships through Activities
Parents are the pillars of a family, and a harmonious marital relationship lays the foundation for a nurturing environment in which children can grow, develop and prosper. To strengthen martial communication and interaction and to bring couples closer together, the Family Energizer launched the “Sleep Better Tonight” couples’ group. Led by social workers and professional instructors, the sessions allowed couples to find moments of relaxation in their busy schedules through couples’ stretching and learning to care about each other. This group has become a regular programme offered by the Family Energizer, recording a total of 53 participants and 223 attendances since its inception.
Enhancing Parent-Child Interaction through Play Therapy
Through its “Happy Fridays” activities, the Jockey Club Smart Family Link provided training in play therapy to more than 40 parents of children aged 6-12. This was followed by a series of four “Play Days”, where the parents had an opportunity to put their newfound skills to practice by playing chess and video games with their children. After each event, social workers reviewed their performance with the parents, and shared tips on how to better leverage play to strengthen their parent-child interactions and instil good values from a young age. The events were attended by 40 pairs of parents and children, with 272 attendances recorded in total.
Outlook
Parents learned different couples’ stretching exercises to show their care for each other and improve their physical and mental well-being.
Have you ever played hopscotch on this scale?
Underprivileged families struggling to make ends meet can be too preoccupied with the practicalities of everyday life to recognise the importance of issues such as parent education and improving marital relationships. Our Children and Family Services will continue to incorporate these elements into our activities and adopt a playful and diverse approach to create more unforgettable memories for families in need and establish a nurturing environment where children can grow happily.

Youth and Education Services
Service Orientation
The aim of our Youth and Education Services is to explore the potential of children and adolescents from various angles and ensure that their strengths are recognised. Most importantly, we prioritise their wellbeing and encourage these young people to take on challenges with a positive outlook and thrive in the face of adversity.
Service Highlights
Raising Awareness on Gender Issues
Learn more about our Youth and Education Services
As society progresses, gender equality has become an issue of increasing public concern. In the summer of 2023, Youth Leap launched the “Youth Laboratory”, a group focused on the issue of gender equality in diverse communities. By visiting service units and workshops for different gender groups, young people were encouraged to explore their inner selves and to discover their relationship with this issue. The programme attracted a total of 163 attendees, most of whom were secondary school and university students. After the visits, the participants created a short film exploring the theme of “Be yourself”, to show the public how gender issues had inspired them to embrace their true selves and to confront adversities in life with greater resilience.
Our youth participants shared what they had learned and achieved from the programme with members of the public during the “Be Yourself” short film screening in mid-December.
Parent and Child Support on Transitioning to Primary School
Transitioning to primary school is a significant milestone for every student. In April 2023, our Youth Service introduced a two-year programme called “Stride Across Family – Family Supportive Scheme for Children in Transition”, with support from the Advisory Committee on Mental Health. The aim of this programme is to help children completing kindergarten and their family members cope with the pressure associated with transitioning to primary school.
A series of adaptation activities, including parent talks, child group sessions and parent-child activities, were organised to help parents and children better adapt to the transition to primary school. A total of 300 parents and students attended the programme in its first year. During the talks and group sessions, the parents gained valuable insights into the emotional, social and learning challenges their children might face and learned positive parenting techniques to help prepare their children for their new phase of life. Some of them expressed their satisfaction with the programme and acknowledged its effectiveness in relieving the stress their families were experiencing during the transition, while enhancing their parenting skills.
During group activities, upper kindergarten students learned about the differences in learning approaches between kindergarten and primary school.
participants focused on conducting interviews for their short film.

Raising Stakeholders’ Awareness of Adolescents’ Mental Health
Our Youth Services placed adolescents’ mental health front and centre. We invited ten schools with in-house social workers, to two community partners roundtable meetings in order to reach a shared understanding of the strategies for tackling mental health issues among students and develop a relationship rooted in mutual trust and collaboration with our school partners. The response was overwhelmingly supportive, with the meetings being attended by a total of 25 school representatives. These exchanges established a future direction for developing youth services to support adolescent mental health.
Responding to the Special Educational Needs of Young Children
With a rising number of students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), especially those with difficulty in emotional regulation and attention deficit issues, the Jackie Chan Whole Person Development Centre launched a range of special courses led by social workers and special needs teachers such as “EQ and Attention Training Classes” and “EQ and Self-Care Classes” in 2023-2024. The goal was to provide children in need with after-school support and training and ease the pressure experienced by parents. The courses attracted a total of 510 attendances last year. The participating parents noted significant improvements in their children’s emotional regulation and behaviours, while expressing satisfaction with the courses.
Toys can support the development of children’s gross and fine motor skills and encourage their imagination.
Saying “No” to School Bullying
Bullying in schools is another imperative issue in society. Youth Services continued to run a programme called “Stop Bullying, Step Forward, We Need YOU!” with renewed funding support from the Community Chest of Hong Kong, and explored the issue of bullying with secondary school students and teachers. Apart from offering classroom workshops and group services for students who had experienced bullying, we were using art as an intervention method to help these students navigate complex subjects, in alignment with the service concept of our unit. We also adopted drama education to bring the teachers and students into a safe fictional world, where they had the chance to learn how to tackle a bullying event that they had witnessed or experienced. Over the last year, the programme has recorded a total of 14,881 attendances and has been positively received by both teachers and students.
Everyone was lining up and having fun together.
Preserving the Virtues and Beauty of Chinese Heritage
To cultivate an understanding and appreciation for Chinese culture from a young age, we organised a series of cultural experiences at the three kindergartens operated by the CFSC, with the aim of familiarising children with various aspects of Chinese culture and celebrating traditional Chinese virtues and beauty. Apart from designing learning activities related to Chinese culture and encouraging children to keep discovering this area, we organised the Chinese Culture Week in the lead up to the Lunar New Year, in order to immerse children in the traditional Chinese culture and guide them to learn about traditional festivals, food, art, architecture and sports by drawing associations with their own experiences. By learning about current news events and others’ experiences, they also gained a basic understanding of China’s development and achievements and began to develop a sense of national identity, belonging and pride in their country.
Outlook
In 2024-2025, our Youth and Education Services will continue to focus on the emotional health and special educational needs (SEN) of children and adolescents. We aim to improve our professional services by thinking innovatively and seeking opportunities for growth, in response to the rapidly changing social landscape.

Elderly Care Services
Service Orientation
We continue to provide the elderly with comprehensive support and multi-disciplinary care, in order to help them enjoy their golden years with peace of mind. With our diversified interventions and activities, we aim to encourage the elderly to stay active and involved in various aspects of daily living, while enhancing their independence and quality of life. In addition, we actively explore various resources and methods that can give carers the support they need to reduce their stress.
Service Highlights
Assisting Elderly People Living Alone in the Community
To protect elderly people living alone in the community from accidents and unwanted incidents due to a lack of care and support, we participated in the Jockey Club “Reach to Bridge” Community Elderly Support Project. With a subvention of HK$10.8 million for a period of 3.5 years, we are set to provide help for 320 elders living alone in the Kwun Tong community per year. We provide services such as the early identification of cases, timely assistance, referral services and home maintenance to re-connect the elderly with the community and facilitate home safety among them.
A community performance and exhibition titled “Painting My Heart” was held, allowing elderly people living alone to express their inner thoughts through sand paintings. With the support of HK$100,000 from Sunlight REIT, it raised awareness of the community and appealed to the concerns of this group of elders.
Elderly people taught children how to draw on the sand during a community event, which was aimed at increasing awareness of the problems relating to elderly people living alone.
Supporting Carers
To provide tangible support to carers in need in Kwun Tong and Wong Tai Sin, we secured financial support for three major projects last year, including a three-year grant of HK$3.21 million from the Community Investment and Inclusion Fund for the “Moments of Carer-friendly Community” project, as well as a three-year grant of HK$6.4 million from the Ronald and Rita McAulay Foundation for “Emergency Assistance and Comprehensive Bridging Services to Elderly Carers to Support Frail Elderly at Home (Kowloon East)” and a two-year grant of HK$2 million from the Vera Ruttonjee Desai Charitable Fund via HSBC for the “Support U – Home Respite Support Project (Kowloon East)”. These projects are set to fill an existing gap in social services by providing home-based respite services and emergency assistance measures such as crisis intervention counselling, meal deliveries and medical escorts, which will benefit more than 1,000 carers each year.
Supporting Elders with Dementia through Innovation
To promote the early identification and treatment of dementia among the elderly in the community, the Mind Delight Memory and Cognitive Training Centre has kickstarted a 3.5-year project titled the “Brain Health – Dementia Screening and Community Support Project”, with a grant of around HK$10 million from The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust. The project provides early identification, early diagnoses and early intervention for 400 elders and 100 carers in Kwun Tong and Wong Tai Sin Districts every year, in an effort to slow the progression of the condition and maintain the patients’ quality of life.
After being awarded the Champion for Change Award (2022-2023) by the Hong Kong Social Workers Association and Keswick Foundation Limited in 2022, the Centre’s “Mind Delight Online Store” initiative also received the Impact Award and a grant of HK$100,000 in 2023. The “Mind Delight Online Store” is an online platform that partners with community volunteers to sell appealing products handmade by elders with dementia. The goal of the initiative is to raise awareness about the condition and help eliminate discrimination by showcasing the capabilities of elders with dementia.
The “Mind Delight Online Store” team believes that even if elders have dementia, there are more things they can do than one might imagine.
Bridging Rehabilitation with Long-Term Care Services
To address the shortage of discharge support services in Wong Tai Sin District, the Lively Elderly Day Training Centre launched a one-year programme called the “Welcome Back – New Normal Post-Discharged Support Programme”, supported by the HSBC HK Community Partnership Programme with a sum of HK$580,000. The programme provides seamless rehabilitation support to a total of 470 newly-discharged elders, helping them transition smoothly into long-term care services.
We provide centre-or home-based rehabilitation exercise services for the elderly.
Practising Empowerment in Care through Diverse Activities
We continue to practice the spirit of Empowerment in Care and aim to strengthen the mobility and involvement of the elderly in daily activities through various exercises, training and activities. With our Day Care Centres for the Elderly, we are committed to empowering the elderly to live independently through various means, such as by involving them in the daily operations of the centres, in an effort to foster a sense of belonging. The Centres also partnered with the Residential Care Homes for the Elderly to organise a “Hong Kong Attractions Walk”, where the elderly were invited to take big strides and exercise their lower limbs while watching videos of famous landmarks around Hong Kong. This helped them not only increase the muscle strength in their lower limbs, but also develop a habit of exercising regularly. A series of ADL training sessions incorporating the concepts of gamification into rehabilitation were also designed to improve the participants’ muscular endurance, flexibility and self-care abilities, thus achieving Empowerment in Care.
The “Hong Kong Attractions Walk” used a series of short videos to invite the elderly to appreciate flower shows from a different perspective.

Last year, we hosted a seminar and invited Professor David Sinclair from Harvard Medical School’s Department of Genetics as well as Mr. Lin Jin-li, Honorary Chairman of the Taiwan Self-Supporting Care Professional Development Association and the pioneer of Long-Term Care 2.0 in Taiwan, to be the keynote speakers. A total of 278 participants joined us in exploring the secrets in slowing ageing, understanding the Empowerment in Care model of elderly care and discussing how to improve quality of life in the later years by extending the disability-free life expectancy. The seminar also featured a panel discussion with Professor Terry Lum Yat-sang, the Henry G. Leong Professor of Social Work and Social Administration at the University of Hong Kong, and Mr. Chua Hoi-wai, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Council of Social Service, who delved into the topics under discussion and offered valuable insights, by taking into account the practical reality in Hong Kong.
Daily necessities were transformed into fun games to make exercise more enjoyable for the elderly. During the “Fighting For
Enhancing Mobility and Self-Care Abilities
We launched a series of long-term programmes and activities aimed at improving the mobility and self-care abilities of our service users. They included a four-month Mölkky tournament featuring 21 competitions among 10 teams of 134 elderly athletes from our different service units. After a period of intensive training, the team from our Kwun Tong Home Care and Support Services for Elderly Persons with Mild Impairment was crowned as champion in the final.
During the event, an impact evaluation study was conducted in conjunction with the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and it was found that participating in the Mölkky training and competitions led to a significant improvement in the elderly athletes’ cardiovascular endurance, lower-limb muscle strength and muscular endurance, as well as their cognitive functions such as attention and reaction, when the pre- and post-test results were compared.
A House Chore Olympics was also organised to encourage participation in daily self-care training through a series of competitions, which engaged 146 elderly participants from 17 Elderly Care Services units. The event proved to be highly effective in motivating the participants to participate in training and, as a result, improving their ability to take care of themselves in daily life.
To further promote the concept of self-care among elderly members of the community, we received additional funding of HK$700,000 from the Simon K.Y. Lee Foundation to extend the “Project GrandMove” programme for a period of one year. The programme was led by elderly fitness coaches, who designed and validated effective exercise courses in collaboration with the University of Hong Kong. A total of 13 classes were arranged for 130 elders from the East Kowloon area over a period of four months.
Outlook
Moving forward, enhancing mobility and promoting independence among the elderly will continue to be the key focal points of our work. Apart from strengthening evidence-based interventions through related research, we are also looking to extend our collaboration with the United Christian Hospital and continue the “Breathing Resilience –COPD Home Based Rehabilitation Project” for another year, with the aim to reduce hospital readmissions by providing home-based rehabilitation for elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. To align with the CFSC’s strategic plan for supporting carers, we will spare no effort in responding to the issue of stress and the urgent needs of carers, and will reach out to carers who are less inclined to seek help, in order to ensure that they get the support that they require. Our team at Wong Tai Sin Home Care Services will also develop “end-oflife care” to improve awareness and preparedness among the elderly and their family members, and plans have been put in place to establish a systematic “end-of-life care” service model internally.

Renewed Service Model to Respond to Community Needs
Learn more about our Services for People with Disabilities
In August 2023, CFSC launched a two-year Pilot Project on Integrated Community Rehabilitation Centre (ICRC) with support from the Social Welfare Department’s Lotteries Fund. The aim of the project is to provide a continuum of a coherent, flexible blend of day care and home care services for people with disabilities who live at home and have intensive care needs, while also supporting their carers.
The ICRC adopts the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework to establish a comprehensive framework comprised of rehabilitation objectives, interventions, assessments and evaluations. It is committed to engaging the service users in formulating personalised rehabilitation plans, while providing humancentred, one-stop community support services by working with interdisciplinary teams and embracing advanced rehabilitation equipment and technologies. From 1st August 2023 to 31st March 2024, the total number of service users is 4,494.
Embracing Gerontechnology to Support the Needs of Elderly Residents
Dick Chi Day Activity Centre Cum Hostel has been serving people with severe intellectual disabilities for 26 years. Among the 50 residents, 36 have been using the service since its inception, while half of the residents are 50 years old or above, and 82% are over 40 years old. To support our elderly residents, especially for those are experiencing a loss of muscle strength, we work closely with professionals from different disciplines and take advantage of developments in gerontechnology to enhance our service offerings. In addition, our 36-month pilot project on one-stop services for ageing service users of the Hostel for Severely Mentally Handicapped Persons (HSMH) and the Hostel for Moderately Mentally Handicapped Persons (HMMH) is underway, with the goal of improving quality of life for elderly residents and allowing them to age in a familiar place.
Everjoy – Home Care Service for Persons with Severe Disabilities makes use of portable medical imaging equipment to provide 103 elderly service users and 70 carers with door-to-door screening services for medical conditions that have traditionally been expensive to treat, such as pulmonary, hepatic and renal diseases. The goal is to promote early detection and to enable the early management of chronic diseases at home.
Gerontechnology techniques and related equipment were used to make everyday caregiving tasks easier at our hostels.
Through daily enjoyable training sessions and activities, our staff helped the service users maintain their physical condition and slow down the decline of their physical abilities.
Residents received age-suitable muscle training to help regain their balance, improve their muscle strength and prevent falls.
Portable medical imaging equipment was used to provide service users and their carers with door-to-door screening services for diseases that are usually costly to treat, promoting the early detection and management of chronic diseases.
Combining Physical Activity with Horticulture to Support the Physical and Mental Health of Carers
Together We Connect@Carer Inclusion Project
In June 2023, Cheerful Place – District Support Centre for Persons with Disabilities (Kwun Tong East) launched the two-year “Together We Connect@Carer Inclusion Project” with support from the HKEX Foundation. The project offers horticultural therapy experiences to carers. By contemplating the relationship between plants and life, carers are invited to rethink their opinions on the value of life and embark on a mentally stimulating journey to build resilience, mental strength, and mutual support for one another. As of March 2024, more than 100 sessions were held, benefitting nearly 50 carers and reaching more than 700 members of the community.
with disabilities and carers worked together to organise the “Together We Connect@Carer Inclusion Market”, a large-scale carerinclusive market designed to raise public awareness about the needs of carers.
Nordic Walking Classes to Support Carers One Step at a Time
In 2023, a carer support group focused on Nordic walking was successfully piloted by Cheerful Place. Carers learned the history of Nordic walking and walking techniques, such as coordinated movement and fullbody muscle movement, at the centre before putting these techniques into practice in an open outdoor space, thereby reaping the benefits of aerobic exercise. The campaign was well-received, with participants reporting improved physical strength and other benefits including having more energy to take care of their children and getting to know fellow carers.
“Know. Your True Self” – A Carer Emotional Support Programme
In April 2023, we introduced “Know. Your True Self”, a two-year carer emotional support scheme funded by the Health Bureau. The programme involves providing training workshops for carers, as well as a range of stress-relieving and therapeutic activities and a carer support group. It utilises TTI-DISC, an international professional assessment, as a behavioural analysis tool to help carers better understand themselves and cope with their emotions.
A variety of workshops were organised to help carers reclaim their “me time”, unleash their potential and build a network of mutual help.

Participating in the “Special Scheme to Import Care Workers for Residential Care Homes” to Ease the Labour Shortage
As a hostel providing a high level of care for people with disabilities, Sheung Seen House applied to enter the “Special Scheme to Import Care Workers for Residential Care Homes” offered by the Social Welfare Department in 2023 to secure its frontline workforce. In December 2023, a total of seven care workers joined the care team under this scheme. In addition to preservice training, they also participated in retreats and team-building activities, learning to improve the quality of their care alongside their local peers.
Outlook
Looking forward, a new supported hostel for people with disabilities named Sheung Kin House is set to open in LOHAS Park, Tseung Kwan O, in 2025. Fully funded by the Social Welfare Department, the hostel will provide 31 residential places. In the coming year, our interdisciplinary team will make better use of resources and will collaborate closely on the themes of Sport, Horticultural Therapy, Innovative Technology, Networking and Enlightening Health and Wellness. By working in alignment with these priorities, we aim to build an inclusive society in which people with disabilities can fulfil their potential and live healthy and happy lives.

Connecting Community Stakeholders and Establishing a Cross-Sector Collaboration Platform to Promote Mental Health
To raise public awareness of mental health issues and help members of the public better understand communitybased mental health services, Wellness Zone – Integrated Community Centre for Mental Wellness held an open day event from 8th to 9th March 2024, during which 18 guests, including District Council members and partners from the Care Teams, social welfare organisations and partner organisations were invited to visit our centre, where a guided tour was organised to show them the scope and features of our services. This event facilitated mutual exchanges and collaborations to advance the development of mental health services and fulfil the community’s needs. Various booth activities, a stress relief experience workshop and a “Human Library” sharing session were also attended by more than 200 community members. These experiences helped them understand the importance of mental health, promoted their understanding and acceptance of individuals undergoing mental health recovery, and contributed to building a more caring and inclusive society.

Different stakeholders and partners were invited to exchange ideas on how to promote mental health in the community at Wellness Zone during its open day.
Caregiver’s Bakery: Supporting the Mental Health of Carers
visitors
Being a carer can be a 24/7 job, spending such a significant amount of time focusing on other people that they may easily overlook their own emotional needs, ultimately falling victim to emotional distress when stress builds up over time. To better support their mental health needs, we organised a special campaign with the theme of a “Caregiver’s Bakery”, to encourage carers to pay closer attention to their own emotional needs.
Finding the time to attend the activities in person can be a struggle for most carers. Hence, the “Caregiver’s Bakery” made use of Facebook and Instagram posts to connect with carers and provide them with information on self-care, in order to ensure that they feel cared for, understood and supported. Self-care kits containing a series of “self-care challenges” were also mailed to carers in November 2023, in order to share simple tips for stress relief and remind them to look after themselves with the use of emotionally-soothing items and QR prompt cards.
In addition, we organised three online seminars where a person in recovery, a clinical psychologist and a professional organiser were invited to each share their valuable expertise and techniques for staying organised, both in life and emotionally. An activity designed for couples was also held during the Lantern Festival for parent carers, who benefitted from the on-site childcare services and enjoyed quality time together away from the stress of caregiving. This allowed them to strengthen their bond and rebuild intimacy, while gaining strength from each other’s company. Through a series of activities, we served a total of 683 participants.

Promoting and Building a Mental Health-Friendly Community through Innovative and Diverse Efforts
Our Mental Health Services have been dedicated to exploring different creative ideas that can make mental health information more accessible, approachable and easily accepted by the general public. Over the past year, our Mental Health Ambassador, Bear Bear (Bear Your Mind), regularly shared mental health information on social media and teamed up with the Store of Happiness – The Mobile Van for Publicity Service on Mental Wellness to raise mental health awareness and promote the acceptance of persons in recovery by offering quick mental health tests and setting up booths for emotional health education and exhibitions at various locations. We will continue to collaborate with a variety of local stakeholders to promote a happier community that brings people closer together.
A mental health webpage featuring Bear Bear (Bear Your Mind) and friends is now live, and more mental health information and resources will be coming soon.
Bear Your Mind and the Store of Happiness also participated in the “World Mental Health Day” Seminar and Mental Health Expo. During the event, we exchanged insights with other social welfare organisations and industry professionals, while advocating for the use of creative media and technology to make mental health education, emotional health assessments and interactive workshops available to the public.
Our team and Bear Your Mind were also invited by UBS to attend the “ECO & Wellness Fair 2023”, where we had the opportunity to share mental health information with hundreds of UBS employees and to encourage working professionals to take care of their health in a holistic manner. The event also featured an exhibition of various hand-crafted accessories made by people in mental health recovery, showcasing their capabilities to a wider audience.
In the coming year, we will continue to collaborate with different community stakeholders to provide comprehensive, people-centred and high-quality services to meet the needs of our service users during various stages of life. In this regard, we have identified four service directions:
1. Utilise diverse and innovative approaches to continue to promote mental health in the community and contribute to building a mental health-friendly environment.
2. Leverage evidence-based interventions to help service users organise their life experiences and rebuild ideal and meaningful lives.
3. Focus on the emotional needs of carers and provide comprehensive support to help them stay in good physical and mental health, while enhancing the quality of care.
4. Offer one-stop support services for children and young people struggling with emotional difficulties, so that they can learn how to accept and manage negative emotions, practice self-care and build a strong enough psychological resilience to cope with the challenges of life.

Active Ageing Services
Service Orientation
Over the past three years, various factors have heavily impacted the physical wellbeing and everyday lives of the elderly. Many have experienced a near halt in their social lives, causing mental strain as a result of staying home and avoiding contact with the outside world, including their family members. As we stepped into 2023, our two District Elderly Community Centres (DECCs) prepared for a return to normal life by accelerating service renewals and enhancing the diversity of our elderly services. Both DECCs have chosen “homecoming” as the theme of this year to signify our commitment to working alongside the elderly and their carers, rebuilding a sense of care, and welcoming service users back into the community and their “second home” at the centres, where a fulfilling life awaits them.
Service Highlights
Rebuilding a Sense of Care
Online services have always been a top priority for the DECCs. We are committed to accelerating the utilisation of gerontechnology, in hope of helping the elderly stay connected with the outside world despite environmental and time constraints. Technological advancements have brought great pleasure to the elderly, but have also widened the digital divide, causing some elderly people, especially those who are less tech-savvy, to struggle to catch up. Therefore, the DECCs launched the “Jockey Club Tablet Support Programme” to promote gerontechnology education, recording a total of 7,426 attendances.
Supported by the Opportunities for the Elderly Project of the Social Welfare Department, a programme named “Small Joys, Good Life” was held, which was aimed at fostering happiness through art and exposure to nature while empowering the participants to navigate changes and challenges in the lives with a positive outlook. Additionally, to encourage face-to-face interactions, the DECCs launched a campaign called “Fun Wednesdays”, where service members are encouraged to visit the centres to participate in fun tabletop games every Wednesday, which create a lively and joyful atmosphere.
As a key part of our new focus on developing care programmes specifically for men this year, the DECCs formed the “Men’s Hub”, a gathering place for weekly meetups among male members of the elderly community. The participants gained exposure to new experiences and strengthened their support system by engaging in a diverse range of activities such as darts and tabletop games with members of the same sex. The hub has continued to grow over the past year, attracting a total of 510 participants across various sessions.
Furthermore, the DECCs are encouraging the elderly and their carers to cherish the present, embrace optimism and plan for the future through the “Letting Go of Burdens” life education series. By setting up a “Life and Death for an Infinite Time!” interactive station, the programme allowed participants to share and discuss their worries about the future. They created a comic book titled “Searching for The Secret to Happiness at the End of Life”, in which they explored the mysteries of embracing death and finding happiness at the end of life.
An exhibition and a seminar were held under the theme of “Letting Go of Burden: Embrace Death with a Smile” to draw the programme to an end.
and
Happy Homecoming
“Homecoming” is a concept that encapsulates our vision for the DECCs to be a “second home” for the elderly and their carers, as well as a powerful support network that will come to mind when they are in need. We are always mindful of the needs of the elderly and the changes they are going through. Our goal is to provide the elderly and their carers with targeted services that integrate them back into the community.
A recognition ceremony was held to honour the elderly for their active participation in art and community engagement activities.
Learn more about the “Searching for The Secret to Happiness at the End of Life” comic book.
To increase community engagement among our service members this year, we collaborated with the Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK) to organise the “University Experience Tour”, where participants spent a day as university students attending classes and dining in the campus cafeteria. This gave the elderly an opportunity to be immersed in the vibrant campus atmosphere, while engaging in diverse learning experiences and making friends with actual students. It also allowed them to connect with student volunteers, who took on the role of group facilitators by guiding small groups of participants through different hands-on experiences, in an effort to promote intergenerational harmony through interaction and mutual learning.
The elderly formed close bonds with the student volunteers from HSUHK, achieving intergenerational harmony through interaction and mutual learning.
As part of our support for carer, we held a film sharing event called “Love More, Stress Less” under the Social Welfare Department’s community-based initiative this year, introducing our latest carer support services to over 250 carers. The aim was not only to create a stronger support network for carers, but also to champion the importance of love, empathy, mutual respect and communication, in order to lift their spirits.
The elderly and their carers experience stress to different degrees and for different reasons. While illness and declining physical functions are a common stressor for the elderly, their carers can be overwhelmed by the burden of caregiving and challenges in their daily lives. To encourage and facilitate community engagement among the frail elderly and their carers, a special charter bus tour was organised in February for a relaxing day out to the Tsing Ma Bridge and the Lantern Festival in Tsim Sha Tsui. The purpose was to remind the elderly and their carers of the support available at the DECCs, and to acknowledge that life is a shared journey instead of a lonely path.
We have chosen “homecoming” to be this year’s theme to symbolise our goal of promoting community reintegration. After a year of dedicated work, we have seen the elderly and their carers make progress on re-entering community life at various paces. Looking forward, the DECCs will seize opportunities to provide the elderly and their carers with a platform to establish connections with one another and their surroundings, thus forming a healthy interactive network with their family members, neighbourhoods, communities and society.
Chronic pain is one of the main reasons that many elders avoid going out. This year, a series of activities was organised under the Jockey Club “Confront Pain with Ease” Project to raise awareness and educate the elderly on the importance of pain self-management, as well as the causes of chronic pain, joint care and various painrelief exercises. In collaboration with other neighbourhood elderly centres in the region, the programme provided holistic support to those suffering from chronic pain, helping them reintegrate into community life and reverse the loss in their quality of life as a result of pain. The programme recorded a total of 6,834 attendances.

Our Primary Health Care Services serve an active role in raising public health awareness and helping people live in a healthier way. Our goal is to cooperate and engage with different community stakeholders, in an effort to provide people-centred preventive health care services and build a healthier community.
Service Highlights
Diamond Hill Family Pharmacy: Comprehensive Support for Health Needs
Diamond Hill Family Pharmacy, established in June 2023, is the first point of contact for individuals to access health care services in the community. Our dedicated team of registered pharmacists goes beyond their duty to dispense prescription medications and offer over-the-counter drugs and health products, by providing free consultation services and treatments for minor ailments, in an effort to prioritise the holistic wellbeing of patients. We also refer cases to other health care professionals whenever necessary after a risk assessment, in order to connect patients with the health care services available in the area and promote the health and wellbeing of members of the community.
As society grapples with an ageing population and the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, Diamond Hill Family Pharmacy and our team of registered pharmacists are playing a vital role in establishing long-term relationships with patients. In developing community pharmacies and expanding primary health care services, our pharmacists collaborate with doctors, nurses, dentists, dieticians, physiotherapists and other health care professionals to establish a coordinated community-centred system of preventive primary health care and referral services that are focused on the patients’ holistic wellbeing and cater to the actual needs of the community.
15 health education talks and events were organised by Diamond Hill Family Pharmacy throughout the year, covering topics such as gastrointestinal health, managing allergic rhinitis and skincare, in order to enhance public awareness of our pharmacy services and provide medication knowledge.
Free Smoking Cessation Service
In April 2023, CFSC began offering a two-year programme of free smoking cessation services with a subvention from the Department of Health. After initial assessments, eligible smokers will be provided with face-to-face consultations and quit-smoking medicines (nicotine replacement therapy) at the smoking cessation centres. Alternatively, they can kickstart their quit journey at home through postal deliveries of the necessary medications, followed by regular telephone calls to keep track of their progress and facilitate the process.
Within the first year of service operations, the rate of self-reported 7-day tobacco abstinence on the 26th week was around 21% of the participants, whereas the confirmed abstinence rate was 13%. This demonstrates that, in addition to the power of determination, professional smoking cessation services can help to improve the success rate of those who wish to quit smoking.
Health Coaching for Working Adults
Our Primary Health Care Services were recognised by the Hong Kong Council on Smoking and Health for our efforts in promoting a smoke-free community.
A good lifestyle is the best medicine – this is the ethos that underpins the work we do as part of the “Jockey Club WeWATCH Healthy Lifestyle Project”. The project focuses on preventing chronic diseases among adults aged 35 to 59, a vulnerable age group consisting mainly of busy, working adults who generally focus little time on managing their health, in Sha Tin and Kwun Tong Districts. Personal guidance from health management coaches and smartwatches are used as aids to improve the lifestyles of busy individuals, thus preventing or delaying the onset of chronic diseases.
Over the course of six months, the participants received personalised guidance from a health management coach with the help of 24/7 electronic health tracking. Of the 14,958 working adults that participated in the project, 98% showed an improvement in the knowledge and skills associated with the self-management of health. Among them, 97% successfully implemented and maintained at least one healthy lifestyle change after six months. Most encouragingly, during the physical assessments, 93% displayed substantial improvements in at least one of the health indicators, such as blood pressure, blood sugar, body fat and body weight.
Addressing the Dental Needs of Vulnerable Communities
Our Dental Services are dedicated to addressing the pressing social demand for affordable dental services and reducing the waiting time for essential dental treatments among those in need. The targeted beneficiaries include adults with intellectual disabilities, recipients of dental services under the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) Scheme and elderly individuals supported by the Community Care Fund (CCF) Elderly Dental Assistance Programme.
Between 2023 and 2024, our services benefitted a total of 835 adults with intellectual disabilities, as well as 3,032 recipients of CSSA dental services and 270 elderly individuals supported by CCF Elderly Dental Assistance Programme. We look forward to expanding the coverage and influence of our services, and making a difference in the lives of our service users.
Outlook
To respond to the community’s health needs and improve our service quality, we provide people-centred services through integrated health care, medical-social collaboration and the use of digital technology platforms. Another focus of our Primary Health Care Services is to raise the health awareness of young people in the community, which will in turn help people improve their lifestyles as early as possible and lower the risk of chronic diseases.

Learn more about Opportunities and Inclusion for People with Disabilities
CFSC has launched “Co.at.” – its first handmade chocolate brand. The “Co” comes from the word “cocoa” and is aligned with the initial letters of the words “connection” and “collaboration”; whereas “at” represents “operating at IVRS”. We hope that through Co.at, we can connect our Integrated Vocational Rehabilitation Services with various sectors, helping the public recognise the abilities of people with disabilities and helping our service users unleash their infinite potential.
Approximately 20 trainees at the Tsui Fung Co-production Centre have undergone a year of continuous training, learning to create chocolate from cocoa. Each step of the production process was carried out by the trainees, resulting in their own handcrafted chocolates. Currently, the centre promotes interaction between people with disabilities and the community by offering product orders to the public, businesses, and organisations, as well as hosting workshops. This initiative allows the trainees’ abilities to be recognised and celebrated, helping to unlock their limitless potential.
Trainees conducted water quality tests as part of their training in modern agricultural techniques.
Vocational Training in Aquaponics
Aquaponics is an emerging technology in modern agriculture. Our Tsui Ngai Coproduction Centre participated in a vocational training programme in aquaponics organised by a social enterprise called “Green Skies”. Over the course of three months, four trainees completed a series of theory and practical classes at the Herbal Garden of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, where they learned how to grow medicinal herbs using an aquaponics ecosystem. Two of the trainees were then employed after completing the programme.
WE CAN DO: Artistic Development
Last Christmas, we continued to cooperate with Alchemist Creations Co. Ltd. and joined with the Harbourfront Commission to create an art installation called “Merry Village • Happy Can Year”. Made from recycled aluminium cans, the artwork was displayed on the promenade of the Typhoon Shelter Precinct of Causeway Bay. The “Merry Village” featured a 6-metre-tall “CAN Mas Tree” made from 10,000 upcycled soda cans and a “CAN Bless” choir consisting of Santa Claus and several snowmen and gingerbread men, all decorated with gemstones made from the same material. The art materials were all hand-processed and assembled by our service users of our Tsui Lam Integrated Vocational Training Centre, who demonstrated a “can do” attitude through the meticulous process of breaking up recycled aluminium cans into small sheets and putting them back together piece by piece, according to the design drawings.
The giant Christmas tree was made from aluminium sheets that have been processed and polished piece by piece by service users at the Tsui Lam Workshop.
Tsui Lam Integrated Vocational Training Centre was invited by Uniqlo (HK) to participate in a sales campaign that took place at three Uniqlo stores in Tseung Kwan O. The clothing items on display featured printed artwork created by our service users to showcase their artistic potential.
Being Seen and Developing the Talent of People with Disabilities
We offered a series of courses alongside professional patisserie and barista training as part of the “Being Seen and Developing the Talents of People with Disabilities” initiative, with a total of 37 participants. After completing our barista training course, six of the trainees received an international barista qualification from the “COFFEE Lover International Barista School”. A team of baristas was formed by our service users and delivered 11 popup café service sessions in the community, where a total attendance of 323 was recorded.

Building an Inclusive and Caring Community
Walk Together Project: Promoting Inclusion through Fishkeeping
Promoting inclusion is at the heart of everything we do at Inclusive Affairs. In 2023, we launched the “Walk Together” project with a grant from BMCPC Shine, in which fishkeeping was used as a relaxing form of intervention and the participants were invited to reflect on the meaning and value of life through understanding the life cycle of fish and learning how to take care of them. An exhibition was held at Domain Mall in Yau Tong and Yue Man Square to showcase the programme outcomes, attracting a total of 4,000 visits and bringing the community to life, as people with different levels of ability came together in an inclusive atmosphere.
An exhibition was held at Domain Mall and Yue Man Square to showcase the results of the “Walk Together” project, in which the participants were encouraged to reflect on the meaning of life, while promoting community inclusion.
“Inclusion and Care Together”
Inclusive Affairs team launched a three-year project called “Inclusion and Care Together” with a grant of around HK$3 million from the Community Investment and Inclusion Fund (CIIF). The aim was to promote inclusion and raise community awareness towards the wellbeing of people with intellectual disabilities and their carers in Kwun Tong District. The project recruited and trained 86 members of the community as “Inclusive Buddies”, and carer support groups were formed to integrate different sectors into a collaborative network. The project team held more than 180 events including a “Community Festival” and the “Inclusion through Colouring Competition and Exhibition”, with a total attendance of around 2,000 recorded.
The “Inclusive Buddies” took concrete actions to support the needs of people with intellectual disabilities and their carers.
The “Inclusive Bazaar” organised by Inclusive Affairs joined 30 markets last year and invited 50 service users to run a stall to promote products made or packaged by them. The “Inclusive Bazaar” reached more than 10,000 participants in the community throughout the year.
Writing with Pictures: Creating an Easy-to-Read Booklet
The Tsui Yip Co-production Centre cooperated with an external organisation, in an innovative attempt to produce an easy-to-read booklet that uses simple words and pictures to allow people with intellectual disabilities to understand, learn and communicate abstract and complex concepts. During the process, the service users assumed creative leadership and made drawings of the contents of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, based on their own understanding.
After understanding the information, service users would then use their understanding to visualise the concepts.
We are committed to further engaging in district-level activities, strengthening cooperation and communication across different districts and promoting inclusion at the district level. We will also continue to launch new programmes and activities that will inspire the public to recognise and help develop the talent of people with disabilities.

Opening of “GREEN@HUNG HOM” to Expand the Recycling Network in Kowloon City
“GREEN@HUNG HOM” has been operated by the CFSC since 1st April 2023. The recycling store has been relocated to Wuhu Street, where it now provides recycling services to around 50 nearby housing estates and residents in the area. We also operate “GREEN@WALLED CITY” and “GREEN@TO KWA WAN”, covering the Kowloon City District, to mobilise community members to promote clean recycling and waste reduction.
Guests from the Environmental Protection Department, Kowloon City District Office, downstream recyclers, property management companies, and various owners’ corporations attended the opening ceremony of “GREEN@HUNG HOM” to show their support for the recycling efforts taking place in the community.

Hong Kong’s First Environmental Protection Promotional Electric Vehicle
Operated by CFSC with donations from The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, Hong Kong’s first electric vehicle (EV VAN) “Mini Look Look” was introduced under the Jockey Club “Look For Green” Mobile Recycling Programme in April 2023. With a load capacity of up to 4.3 tons, the “Mini Look Look” is designed to bring recycling services to rural regions and areas with “three-nil” buildings, in order to promote green living. Since it became fully operational in December 2023, the truck has expanded its service coverage to 26 “Community Stations”, and close to 12 tons of recyclable or reusable items have been collected and processed, including more than 2,200 electrical appliances and 3,200 clothing items.
Visit by Singapore Environmental Officials to exchange experience on waste management and public education
In September 2023, several officials from Singapore’s National Environment Agency visited the “GREEN@KWUN TONG” and “GREEN@WALLED CITY” recycling stores and the “GREEN@YUE MAN SQUARE” recycling spot operated by the CFSC in the company of Dr. Vanessa Au Sze-man, the then Assistant Director (Waste Reduction) of the Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department, and Ms. Ivy Leung Siu-ling, Chief Executive of CFSC. During the visit, they explored the various measures adopted by the Hong Kong government to encourage public participation in community initiatives related to waste reduction and recycling, while sharing insights on developing environmental protection and recycling efforts in Singapore. This promoted exchanges on environmental protection between the two governments.
Promoting Urban Agriculture through Active Community Engagement
Last year, Urban Oasis organised 34 half-day agricultural workshops for parents and children, with support from the HSBC Hong Kong Community Partnership Programme. The events, which were designed to improve parent-child relationships through farming practices, were enjoyed by nearly 800 participants. Urban Oasis also participated in various large-scale exhibitions, including the Hong Kong Brands and Products Expo, Hong Kong North District Flower Bird Insect and Fish Show, the Wong Tai Sin Lantern Festival and the Hong Kong Flower Show, in order to advocate urban agriculture and showcase its eco-friendly products.
Introducing the CFSC Green YouTube Channel
Officially launched in October 2023, CFSC Green is a YouTube channel that creates short videos in an engaging and easy-to-follow format to educate the public on environmental and lifestyle-related topics and help them to develop eco-friendly habits.

Community Development Services
Service Orientation
Amid Hong Kong’s dire housing situation, issues such as unaffordable and inadequate housing have persistently remained a major concern for the city. Over the past year, our Community Development Services continued to serve underprivileged individuals in various deprived communities, with measures ranging from promoting environmental improvements in squatter areas and providing diverse learning opportunities for children living in sub-divided units, to supporting transitional housing residents in building new lives. By leveraging community resources and enhancing community engagement, our goal is to improve the living conditions in disadvantaged communities and help their residents remain motivated and hopeful about their future lives.
Service Highlights
Building Vibrant and Caring Communities in Deprived Neighbourhoods
Helping Underprivileged Residents of Transitional Housing Integrate into New Communities
Our “CRISSCROSS” Social Housing Project offers 1,211 affordable housing units through four projects in Cheung Sha Wan and Tseung Kwan O, which will accommodate single residents and households of up to five people. The residents began moving in last June, with the average occupancy rate reaching 80%. A team of on-site social workers and property managers was set up for each project, in order to provide comprehensive support that will address the diverse needs of the residents.
While moving into transitional housing can improve residents’ living environment and ease their rental burden, the relocation often puts these individuals under financial pressure. To address this problem, our social workers worked with local groups to relieve a significant amount of the burden faced by residents by offering them various kinds of move-in assistance, such as providing them with used household items, offering financial support for the purchase of electrical appliances and furniture, arranging for volunteer helpers to help with the logistics of the move and donating electric stair climbers for carrying bulky furniture. Our social workers also organised a series of community events for those who had moved in, including festive celebrations and group activities, in an effort to strengthen neighbourhood interactions and work with the residents to build a caring and supportive community.
The social work team organised various festive activities to provide residents with opportunities for communication and interaction, strengthening their sense of belonging to the community.

Empowering Transitional Housing Residents to Continue Improving Their Lives
One of our transitional housing projects, Yin Ting Terraced Home, participated in the “JC Project LIFT” programme created and funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust. We helped to develop a pioneering intervention model for poverty alleviation, which was tailored to the needs of transitional housing residents in order to help strengthen their financial capacities, broaden their social networks and open up new career opportunities through a diverse range of community activities, as well as vocational upskilling, financial support and help-to-save schemes, thereby benefitting 450 people in total.

“JC PROJECT LIFT” is a new programme that makes use of an innovative model for the benefit of residents by improving their financial situation.
Providing Holistic Development Opportunities for Children Living in Sub-Divided Units
With support from Hongkong Land, our Locality Development Team launched the “Inspiring Hope – Comprehensive Child Enhancement Programme” to offer free tutoring, STEM courses and community exploration activities for 120 primary and junior secondary school students living in sub-divided units in Kwun Tong. The goal of the programme was to support the students’ diverse needs in relation to learning to personal growth, and help them to discover their talents and interests. Stress relief and parenting education activities were also arranged for 150 parents from underprivileged backgrounds, in order to alleviate the stress of taking care of their families and help them develop better skills for communicating with their children. The programme lasted for a year, with a total attendance of

Beautifying Squatter Areas with Colour and Unique Characteristics
To improve the drainage facilities in the Lei Yue Mun squatter area, the Drainage Services Department relaid the sewage pipes and manholes, and added 10 electrical and maintenance boxes to the area. After the construction, the Department and its contractor invited our Lei Yue Mun Community Development Project to coorganise a community painting activity. At the event, 25 residents and volunteers came together to design and paint unique, colourful patterns on the stainless steel boxes. This represented yet another effort by the Lei Yue Mun Community Development Project to beautify the city’s squatter areas, following the painting of the wave walls, the facades of squatter structures and manhole covers.
Outlook
Our Community Development Services have stayed up-to-date with the evolving needs of our service communities to provide tailored support for underprivileged individuals. In the coming year, we will continue to muster and use a variety of community resources to support families living in sub-divided units and those affected by inadequate housing in squatter areas, to improve their living environments. We will also implement innovative pilot programmes across our four transitional housing projects to enhance the living conditions of the residents, while preparing them for a better future during the transition.

Employee Service Consultancy
Service Orientation
Vital Employee Service Consultancy (Vital) is dedicated to creating healthy and vibrant workplaces by offering outstanding human resource solutions that can improve the productivity and quality of life for employees. Our core services include the Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), corporate training, crisis intervention and management consultancy services.
Service Highlights
Celebration of Our 30 th Anniversary
Last year was particularly meaningful for Vital, as we headed into our third decade of services and witnessed the significant development of EAP in Hong Kong. Having built a clientele comprised of over 800 employers, Vital has become one of the most influential service providers in the industry. To mark this milestone, Vital organised a series of complimentary seminars for employees and designed a special commemorative gift for our corporate clients, to share the joy of Vital’s growth and achievements.

Excellent Wellness Provider Award by the Hong Kong Institute of Human Resource Management
Vital is honoured to have received the Excellent Wellness Provider Award at the 2023/2024 HR Excellence Awards organised by the Hong Kong Institute of Human Resource Management (HKIHRM). This accolade marked the second time that Vital has been recognised by the HKIHRM and acknowledged for our dedication to promoting physical and mental wellbeing of employees, and building partnerships between businesses and social service organisations, highlighting our significant influence and achievements in the human resource industry.
Seminar on Emergency Emotional Support and Crisis Management in the Workplace
Mental health in the workplace has always been a topic of concern in society. In response, Vital organised a seminar on emergency emotional support and crisis management in the workplace in August, with Recruit as our supporting media partner. During the seminar, a counselling psychologist, as well as a consultant in employee training and a Doctor of Management Studies each shared effective strategies for preventing emotional crises and managing the emotional health of employees.
Our seminar on emergency emotional support and crisis management in the workplace, in which the attention of managers was directed to the importance of their employees’ mental health, attracted 120 participants.
Corporate Recognition Ceremony
Last September, Vital presented 37 corporate partners with the “Employee Wellness Commitment 10+” and “Employee Wellness Commitment 15+” commendations during the “Corporate Recognition Ceremony 2023”, as a token of our appreciation for their ongoing efforts in the implementation of EAP and their commitment to caring for employee wellbeing. The corporate representatives also had an opportunity to visit the booths of other service units, exploring the potential for further partnership opportunities with CFSC to foster a corporate culture that prioritises community wellbeing.
37 corporate clients were invited to attend the Corporate Recognition Ceremony.
Outlook
Vital will continue to evolve over time and introduce more diverse services, expanding our partnerships to include different organisations, engaging more employers in activities supporting employee and community wellbeing, and fully leveraging our social influence.

We are committed to providing high-quality, appropriate and diverse social services, while actively directing our efforts and resources to incorporate elements of liveability, inclusion and care into the community. Our Corporate Social Responsibility efforts involve four key areas: environmental sustainability, building an inclusive society, and creating safe, family-friendly workplaces.
Environmental Sustainability
While it is important to fulfil the needs of our service users, we also prioritise protecting the environment in the hope of creating better lives for future generations. In addition to formulating environmental policies, we undertook a series of concrete actions to manage energy efficiency, while encouraging waste reduction at the source and recycling. At the same time, we organised internal training to promote environmental awareness among our employees and to strengthen their capability to conserve the environment.
We formulated recycling guidelines for the Headquarters Building and organised seminars to enhance our employees’ understanding of recyclable items and to facilitate recycling practices at work.
In 2023, thanks to the concerted effort of our colleagues and service users, we reduced our energy and water consumption by 16% and 10%, respectively, and we recycled more than 15,000 kilograms of different materials.
Our Headquarters Building obtained green building certification with an overall Platinum rating, under the BEAM Plus Existing Buildings V2.0 Comprehensive Scheme.
Promoting the Support Services of the Auxiliary Professional Scheme to Meet Service Needs
The Agency is committed to developing human resource projects to support the growing service needs, including the launch of the Auxiliary Professional Scheme, which falls under the category of voluntary work. This scheme targets retired individuals who possess various forms of professional expertise, rich work experience and networks, and who wish to give back to society. They are invited to participate as Auxiliary Professionals (aPs) and to be matched, according to our service needs and their respective skills or areas of experience, to engage in the consistent middle to long-term voluntary work for different service users. This initiative aims to create a regular and stable pool of professionals to enhance our service quality, thereby benefiting our service users. In the past year, a total of 250 aPs have assisted the Agency in providing various services, contributing a total of 13,322 service hours, making them one of our most valuable human resources.
After completing training at the PolyU-WHO Community Health Service Centre, nearly 30 aPs assisted our primary healthcare service units in conducting regular comprehensive care screenings for the elderly, thus enabling the development of personalised care plans for our elderly service users.
Our Headquarters Building became a green building in 2021, for a period of five years.
Our aPs with engineering backgrounds took part in Jockey Club “Beat the Heat” Project by conducting home assessments and giving improvement recommendations to the elderly in Kwun Tong District.
Building an Inclusive Community
Since its establishment, Home Café has been located on the first floor of our headquarters building at Kwun Tong. By offering employment opportunities and an enabling environment to people with disabilities, we aim to ease their integration into society and uncover their potential. In addition to employing people with disabilities, we also provided them with vocational training opportunities, offering a total of more than 9,000 hours of work experience. The goal was to equip them for their next step into society by enhancing their skills in a real-life working environment. Furthermore, the Home Café carried out several environmental improvement projects last year, such as adding anti-slip coatings to the kitchen floor and consolidating the accessible storage spaces, thereby reducing the risk of workplace injuries among employees and service users with disabilities.
We offered a variety of F&B training opportunities to people with disabilities.
Creating Safe, Family-Friendly Workplaces
We have continuously improved employees’ working conditions in various aspects and strive to provide them with a safe and healthy workplace. In addition to signing the Occupational Safety and Health Declaration, we provide our staff with training in occupational safety and health (OSH) and related equipment, and we conduct regular safety inspections of our units. Last year, around 180 staff members attended our OSH training sessions, amounting to more than 500 training hours.
A lactation room is set up in the Headquarters Building to provide a suitable and friendly workplace space for breastfeeding employees.
We are also committed to creating a family-friendly working environment and promoting a good work-life balance among employees. In this regard, we set up a lactation room at the Headquarters Building to provide a suitable and friendly workplace space for breastfeeding employees.
Our commitments: (from left to right) Energy Saving Charter, Food Wise Charter, and Glass Container Recycling Charter.
Our awards and recognitions: (from left to right) Wastewi$e Certificate (Excellence Level), Good MPF Employer 5 Years+ and Indoor Air Quality Certificate.
Communications and Partnership Engagement
The sustainable development of our services depends on the invaluable support we receive from various sectors of society, who work with us hand-in-hand to help disadvantaged groups by providing them with diverse and flexible services and support. We will continue to develop innovative projects and leverage our efforts in the spirit of “One Family • One for Many” to connect with different stakeholders. By collaborating with all internal and external parties, we can actively respond to the needs of our society.
Corporate Collaboration to Co-Create Good in the Community
For the first time, CFSC launched a new corporate partnership programme called “Co-Create for Good”, with the aim of providing an online platform to help companies transform their business capital into community investments, thereby driving the sustainable development of the community. Through the programme, corporate partners can collaborate with the Agency to co-create projects, covering core social values such as care for the community, health and well-being, social inclusion and environmental protection, thereby bringing positive and sustainable changes to the community.
Our vision is to establish a sustainable social-business cooperation ecosystem, create social value through strategic partnerships and share our success with the community.
Bringing Warmth to Grassroots Families on Festive Occasions
Dragon Boat Festival Charity Campaign
In order to bring warmth to grassroots families and make them feel that society cares about them during festive occasions, we organised a special Dragon Boat Festival Charity Campaign, during which companies and charities donated 1,700 lucky bags to low-income families, the elderly and people with disabilities through the Agency’s service units. Some of the sponsoring companies also organised volunteer teams to help distribute the lucky bags and conduct door-to-door visits to ensure that people in need feel cared for by the society, thereby giving the Dragon Boat Festival a rejuvenated meaning. The festive glutinous rice dumplings given out during this event were provided by the Home Café – an establishment run by disabled students of the Agency, in an effort to support the employment of people with disabilities. All the students participating in the campaign gave their best efforts by packaging the festival glutinous rice dumplings diligently, while sending blessings and warmth to those in need.
CFSC “Thinking of You” Charity Mooncake Sale 2023
The festive glutinous rice dumplings were provided by the Home Café, which is run by the disabled service users of CFSC. All the participating service users put their best efforts into their work and pack the food diligently.
To celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, we began our first collaboration with the local illustrator “Cafe de Bollo” and Kee Wah Bakery. We launched the Charity Mooncake Gift Box, with the theme of “Thinking of You” and a homelike design concept. After deducting the costs, the proceeds will support CFSC’s services for low-income families, the elderly and people with disabilities. In addition to buying these special mooncake gift boxes for personal use or their families and friends, many also chose to donate the mooncakes to disadvantaged groups through our service units, bringing the recipients joy and happiness while giving extra meaning to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
We began our first collaboration with the local illustrator “Cafe de Bollo” and Kee Wah Bakery for our charity mooncake sale, with the theme of “Thinking of You”.
To share the joy and happiness of the Mid-Autumn Festival, donors could choose to give away the mooncakes to disadvantaged groups through our service units.
Christmas Meal Box Fundraising Programme
Since the outbreak of the pandemic, we have been providing meal vouchers to people in need in Kwun Tong District, allowing them to enjoy hot meals through our “Meals at Kwun Tong” voucher fundraising programme. We rolled out the “Christmas Meal Box Fundraising Programme” last Christmas, providing two types of Christmas meal boxes for low-income families, elderly people who live alone or elderly couples, as well as people with disabilities through our service units, in hopes of sharing Christmas delicacies with them in celebration of this festive occasion.
Chinese New Year Red Packet Donation Programme
The Chinese New Year is a festival for relatives and friends to gather together and share blessings. CFSC encouraged members of the community to extend this spirit to others and launched a “Chinese New Year Red Packet Donation Programme”. For every donation of HK$128, the donor received a set of Chinese New Year “Fai Chun” and a leather red packet, which were jointly produced by the disabled students of our Tsui Lam Integrated Vocational Rehabilitation Service and volunteers from Family Energizer. The programme brought warmth and hope to those in need, while encouraging our students with disabilities to realise their personal potential.
Donors to the Chinese New Year Red Packet Donation Programme could receive a leather red packet handmade by our service users.
Awarding Volunteers in Recognition of Their Selfless Contributions
In order to encourage all walks of life to participate in community services, the Agency organises a “Corporate Partner & Volunteer Recognition Ceremony” every year to celebrate all the participating companies, groups and individual volunteers for their selfless contributions during the past year. Thanks to their efforts and collaborations, the Agency has been able to provide a diversified range of services for the benefit of the community.
Companies received awards for their support and collaboration in helping disadvantaged groups.
Due to the large number of award recipients, the “Corporate / Organisation Volunteer Recognition Ceremony” and the “Individual Volunteer Recognition Ceremony” were held across two days. Nearly 300 individual volunteers and 65 corporate partners and organisations received our awards. Their total number of volunteering hours reached 31,581 hours, with a total of 205,737 beneficiaries.
Businesses Join Forces to Help Disadvantaged Groups
CFSC actively works together with different corporations and organisations to prepare various diversified forms of collaborative solutions, such as service sponsorship programmes, event sponsorships and corporate volunteer activities, among others. Last year, more than 40 companies and their volunteers took part in the initiative and contributed money and their efforts to provide our service users with a variety of exploration and interaction opportunities, including outings and making handmade products. Through this interaction, corporations can develop a deeper understanding of the Agency’s services and help expand our service resources.
In addition, the Agency has received nearly 110,000 items donated by more than 70 corporate partners and organisations, including funfair tickets, festival foods, books, daily necessities, masks and rapid test kits, etc. These materials can help reduce the financial burden of our service users.
Secondary students from our low-income families received funding from the Rotary Club of Penha, Macao, to participate in a cultural exchange tour, during which they traveled to Macau and interacted with local students.
from our low-income families received books donated by the Hong Kong Association of Lady Horse Lovers.
Staff Relations and Development
As we approach our 70th anniversary milestone, the staff members of CFSC are joining together to celebrate this remarkable occasion. To realise the long-term development goals of CFSC and create a bright future through a collaborative approach, we are committed to promoting staff relations, improving the quality of our talent, and optimising our staff welfare and development policies. In addition, we provide our staff with a good working environment and benefits, while strengthening our internal communication and teamwork in an effort to establish the spirit of collaboration. We spare no effort in driving our development as an organisation and the progress of our society.
Staff Development
To align with the development of CFSC, our Human Resources Department has arranged diversified staff-oriented activities and learning opportunities for our staff this year, in order to encourage them to continue learning, thereby allowing them to enhance their work skills and management capabilities, and to take better care of their own physical and mental health.
For a detailed list of our staff, please refer to our website
New Staff Orientation
Orientation activities not only help our new employees gain a better understanding of CFSC as an organisation and enable them to adapt and integrate more quickly, but also allow these employees to understand our expectations, become familiar with the relevant resources and enhance their knowledge. This, in turn, improves their work efficiency and the level of their contribution to the Agency.
Mentoring Programme
Launched in 2021, our Mentoring Programme has nearly 50 new colleagues enrolled, and more than 20 colleagues will complete the programme during the year 2023-2024. The programme, which is well-received, provides the participants with valuable opportunities for mutual learning and support, and has a positive impact by helping the participants develop their vocational skills and knowledge.
Staff Relations
CFSC Study Tour
Organised by the Human Resources Department, the aim of our “CFSC Study Tour” is to bring our management and professional colleagues out of their familiar working environment. By visiting different service units, our colleagues can develop a better understanding of our cross-service teams, which then facilitates more opportunities for cooperation. The cross-unit engagement also inspires our colleagues to roll out our comprehensive and innovative services in a collaborative manner.
During the CFSC Study Tour 2023, our colleagues visited the chocolate workshop of the Tsui Fung Co-production Centre, as well as Hoi Nga House, Diamond Hill Family Pharmacy and the Lively Elderly Day Training Centre.
Committed to promoting staff relations, our Staff Association organised a number of activities this year, including sports and fitness classes and parent-child baking classes, etc. After being on hiatus since 2018, our annual dinner, which is a highly-anticipated event, resumed for the year 2023-2024 and was held in December. The theme of the dinner was “Rooted in the Past, Looking to the Future”. It was hoped that all service units and staff could gather together to enjoy a meal and have fun. The “CFSC King Maker” talent show and a lucky draw were also held during the event.
Recruiting Talents
In order to align with the development of our services, our Human Resources Department has formulated a series of recruitment strategies to recruit talented individuals. This year, we actively participated in the recruitment activities organised by various tertiary institutions and external organisations. In addition, a CFSC recruitment day was held on 11th December 2023, which attracted more than a hundred applicants who participated in on-site interviews.
Talent Development and Building Innovative Collaboration
Last year, CFSC successfully completed the “Growth Mind Power Programme”, which was aimed at promoting cross-service collaborations and innovation. By participating in the “Design Thinking” certificate course organised by the famous American organisation IDEO and a series of implementation workshops, we enhanced our creative confidence on service innovation and interdepartmental collaboration.
During the one-year programme, 29 managerial staff members from different service units formed six dynamic teams, each of which worked on creating new service ideas for various units and professional areas. This process not only helped improve their management insights, but also significantly expand their creative mindset. Finally, each team had to pass an interview attended by a panel of senior executives and external guests, who provided professional feedback and also selected the most promising ideas for implementation in the year 2024-2025.
The design of the “Growth Mind Power Programme ” focused on our commitment to continuous learning and development. The programme demonstrated ways to structure talent development and seamlessly integrate such a development process with practical training. As a result, we will continue to foster creative collaboration and culture to a greater extent, in order to prepare the Agency for the challenges that lie ahead.

Management of the LSG Reserve and Future Plan in 2023-2024:
According to our policy, the Lump Sum Grant (LSG) reserve will be used to honour the Agency’s contractual commitments to our snapshot staff, as a reserve for possible deficits in LSG operations and to support the strategic development of our services. The Agency recorded a surplus of HK$12,832,028 for its LSG service operations in 2023-2024, and the surplus was reinvested into the LSG reserve. As of the end of March 2024, the cumulative LSG reserve (excluding the Provident Fund reserves, Holding Account, rent and rates, and the Central Item reserves) amounted to HK$133,967,616, equivalent to 21.34% of the total LSG operating expenses in 2023-2024.
In 2023-2024, the Agency allocated HK$4,734,182 from the LSG reserve to support the strategic development of our services. This fund was earmarked to provide key staff with training in professional capabilities related to our core services, as well as to update our websites and information technology systems, research and promote innovative models of community care services, research the policies and the practical implementation of internal controls, explore the use of digital media to promote distinctive and innovative services and to undertake various maintenance projects to improve the environment and service quality of the Agency.
For the next two years (2024-2025 and 2025-2026), the Agency has budgeted around HK$20,700,000 from the reserve for the continued implementation of its strategic development initiatives. From this budget, we will allocate HK$3.6 million for the ongoing professional training of staff, HK$0.8 million for conducting service impact studies, HK$0.4 million for improving our websites, HK$12.4 million for improving and promoting our services, HK$1.9 million for developing and optimising our information technology systems, and HK$1.6 million for developing our human resources.
Management of the Provident Fund Reserve for Non-Snapshot Staff in 2023-2024 and Future Plan:
Starting from January 2017, the Agency has implemented an amendment to its employer contribution rates under the Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) scheme. For new employees joining the organisation, the employer contribution has been set at 5% of their total salary. This percentage will increase to 6% after six years of service, then to 7% after seven years of service and so on, until it reaches the maximum of 10% after ten years of service. As of the end of March 2024, the cumulative Provident Fund reserve for our non-snapshot staff totalled HK$47,030,644.
