We light up the lamp for illumination. Light also represents hope which leads you to the way out of darkness. Union Enterprises gave back to the community by organising visit to YWCA Mr. & Mrs. C.F. Tao Neighbourhood Elderly Centre. The volunteers and elderly worked together to make Turkish mosaic glass lamps with colourful glass pieces. 

The Association was glad to be invited to participate in AS Watson Project LOL Elderly Visit again, to share love with 2,000 elderly living across the territory. YWCA's Deputy Chief Executive Ms. Emily Lee joined Mr. Dominic Lai, Chairman of AS Watson Group, Dr. Malina Ngai, Group CEO of AS Watson Group and representatives from other participating companies and organisations, to kick off the visit and cheer for the volunteers.

“Railway 101” was jointly organised by MTR Academy and the Hong Kong Island Elder Academies Cluster, operated by YWCA. 40 elder participants acquired basic knowledge of the railways and enhanced their safety awareness when riding on the MTR. They became "Caring Ambassadors" at the end of the programme and promoted safe and smart mobility.

Donate while you shop! YWCA participates in AEON "Yellow Receipt Campaign" and cordially invites your support. On the 11th of every month, customers will receive an extra yellow receipt after purchasing at AEON stores. By placing the receipts into the boxes given to YWCA, you can help raise funds for the Association, as AEON will donate products equivalent to 1% of the total transaction amount to our service users. 

Wood is a natural raw material that we have at our fingertips. We consume a large amount of wood and paper every day. How can we reduce wastage, recycle and give new life to wood or used paper? CITIC Pacific held an environmental protection workshop for volunteers and elderly to learn about recycled wood, understand how to make good use of readily available wood, and experience the recycling of paper products.

YWCA has been concerned about the welfare of the aged. The Association joined the Care for the Elderly Charity Ticket Campaign 2023 to raise funds for our elderly service. The entire Association took initiatives to organise different charity sales and talent shows to raise fund from the public. We successfully raised more than $1,100,000 and became Champion of “Top Fundraising Organisations”. Thanks for all generous supports and efforts made by our working partners and volunteers to advocate elderly’s well-beings. 

Many elders place great importance on Chinese New Year and are usually busy with the preparations. However, it is difficult for elderly living in Cheng Pon Hing Care & Attention Home for the Elderly to enjoy the festive momentum. Miricor volunteer team therefore organised a visit to help the seniors dress up in Chinese New Year outfits and capture their joyful smiles with photos. 

Retirement is a turning point in life, and it affects not just one's self-worth, but also marital relationships. In order to help young-olds to adapt to the great life changes and enhance their resilience, YWCA Jockey Club Joyful Marriage Project (“the Project”) was first launched in 2021, aiming to help retired couples to better understand their partners and develop common interests, not letting retirement disrupt a happy marriage.

The unpredictable weather makes people prone to sickness. Therefore, the Labour and Welfare Bureau and the Social Welfare Department, together with community volunteers, visited elderly and gave tips on staying warm.
