The Association was again invited to join AXA’s annual Corporate Responsibility Week to organise volunteering activities and promote healthy living to citizens.

HKYWCA launched the ChariTea Mid-Autumn Campaign to celebrate the upcoming festival, as well as to raise funds for children with special educational needs (SEN).

The Association held a tour to Xi’an, China for teenager volunteers to experience life in rural regions, provide voluntary teaching services for children and visit the needy.

DreamStarter and students from St. Paul's College initiated the “KOL Project”, and invited Verint Systems (Asia Pacific) Limited and the Association to work together for implementation. The students designed the programme to bridge the communication between generations by promoting life hacks of the solitary elderly to the young people.

While psychological distress is becoming increasingly prevalent among Hong Kong children, play therapy is proven a potent treatment. HKYWCA presented the findings of a research on play therapy and shared frontline experience in a seminar for teachers and social workers, to increase the awareness of children’s mental health.

Sponsored by SOCAM Development Limited and Partnership Fund for the Disadvantaged, HKYWCA Chi Po Neighbourhood Elderly Centre launched a programme to give away insect repellents to grassroots elders in Sham Shui Po, to help them tackle mosquito and pest problems.

Dr. Choi Yuk Lin, JP, Under Secretary for Education visited the Association’s Tsuen Wan Nursery School, in the company of Mr. Sze Chun Fai, Jeff, Political Assistant to Secretary for Education and Ms. Wong Lai Kuen, Vicky, Senior Service Officer, to learn about the school curriculum and operation.

HKYWCA’s Women Affairs Department and Youth and Community Service Department co-organised the 6th Hong Kong Glocal Y Kick-off Ceremony, and announced the official start of the recruitment for the programme, which nurtures young women to concern themselves with different societal problems between genders.

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.
