In response to the development of the coronavirus, most of the community facilities have been temporarily closed, causing some elderly who often use the facilities to change their daily habits and even stay at home for a long time to reduce the risk of infection. Long-term home isolation not only affects the emotions of the elderly but also increases the pressure on caregivers.

The Care for The Elderly Charity Ticket Campaign 2019 was successfully held. Having raised a total of HK$901,320, HKYWCA was one of the three “Top Fundraising Organisations” among the 105 participating organisations.

The Association’s Tin Shui Wai Integrated Social Service Centre organised a carnival cum exhibition to promote Life and Death Education.

Seven booths were set up to provide different kinds of activities in regards of “Life and Death”. One of them provided an easy environment of a tea house, allowing participants to discuss their views on death and meaningful life. Another booth targeting younger participants was led by the association’s staff who read picture book to urge children to cherish their life.

HKYWCA joins the Care for The Elderly Charity Ticket Campaign 2019 (“the Campaign”) to raise fund for the Association’s self-financed elderly services. The fund raised will help to provide comprehensive support to the community through the following three centres, namely Y Care Day Care Centre for the Elderly (Yau Yat Chuen), NWS Y Care Day Care Centre for the Elderly (North District) and YWCA Jockey Club Y Care Elderly Centre. The Association invites your participation to help the needy!

A.S. Watson Group has been supporting HKYWCA for years. Other than organising PARKnSHOP Free Food Coupon for the Elderly Programme, and sending out gifts and products to our service centres, placing donation boxes and implementing the MoneyBack Charity Programme are other channels to help the Association to raise fund.

The Chinese Cheongsam Association (HK) (“Cheongsam Association”) celebrated Dragon Boat Festival with HKYWCA’s elder members to send care and blessing.

The Association’s Wan Wah Care & Attention Home for the Elderly organised a thanksgiving ceremony cum fun day to celebrate its 25th anniversary and shared the happiness with the Board members, partners, family members and volunteers.
