Demand for elderly care and support has been surging because of the pandemic. “EasyHome” Services for Elderly and their Carers’ is an initiative of SCHSA to improve the living standard of the deprived seniors, relieve the stress of the care-givers and strengthen family cohesion.

Every education opportunity involves some give-and-take. Students can practise English writing and speaking online one-on-one with English tutors from the University of Hong Kong bi-weekly.

In return, students will avail themselves of this opportunity to spend time singing with the elderly and teaching primary students the subject of engineering science. They’ll also post videos of the cooking sessions online and assist primary students in open competitions by leveraging their computer literacy.

Love 21 also provides a nutrition programme that provides 57 members with monthly 1:1 consultation with our qualified dietician, monthly cooking classes and fresh ingredients to follow the recipe.
Love 21 has also recently launched a counselling service for the parents/guardians of our members and so far, we have over 20 families who are benefiting from these sessions. During these sessions, our qualified counsellor has identified a number of common themes across the families. These have been exasperated by COVID. Down syndrome members are far more vulnerable than other communities. This has reduced the amount of time many families spend outside of their homes. Stress, anxiety and a feeling of lack of purpose are but just a few of the themes identified. Our counsellor is now creating parental workshops that cover areas such as Positive Parenting. These sessions will cover the common concerns identified.
All programmes are free of charge to our members and their families. This, we believe, is unique and allows us to support all members of this amazing community.

The vision at Foodlink is to ensure that every needy person has access to a hot, healthy meal. We collect safe-to-eat surplus food from F&B outlets all over the city and deliver to those in need. The role of Foodlink is to connect the supply to the demand as effectively as possible. The benefits are twofold – while reducing hunger we also reduce the pressure on our landfills.
Foodlink collects surplus fresh produce from its supermarket partner and will supply this to the food store for distribution to the beneficiaries living nearby. The store will serve as the Charity’s first direct distribution outlet, increasing its collection and distribution capacity while mitigating food insecurity.

We believe that education is the key to success after a prisoner is released. We provide financial aid for educational courses and procurement of educational materials in various languages. We also organise prison visitation programmes.
Since a high number of prisoners are in jail due to drug trafficking, through social media, we raise awareness in overseas countries of the harsh penalties in Hong Kong for drug mules.
We also sponsor a radio programme for prisoners called Prison Visitation on the Air.
After people leave prison or detention, they have the challenge of finding employment. If they have some education, this will enable them to have skills to offer to any future employer or the ability to start up their own business.

These courses will be held twice a year during Easter and Summer Holidays between July 2023 and April 2026.
