Hopewell Holdings Limited (“Hopewell”) and St. James' Settlement (“SJS”) have joined hands for the fourteenth year to organize the “HH Social Club Tuen Ng Volunteer Programme” sending blessings to nearly a thousand elderly singletons to celebrate the Tuen Ng Festival. This programme has benefitted over 13,000 elderly singletons to date, sharing the festive joy.
 
On June 1, 2024, 30 volunteers and their family members participated in the “HH Social Club Tuen Ng Volunteer Visit”. They visited nearly 50 households of elderly singletons in Wan Chai District and Tsuen Wan District, delivering gift packs and blessings. This year, the theme of activity focused on life and death education. Prior to the home visits, the volunteers attended a life and death education seminar cum volunteer briefing by SJS, learning about pre-planning services and acquire communication skills with the elderly. The volunteers also prepared gift packs, including rice dumplings made by Panda Hotel, food items, and pill boxes.
 
Mrs. Ivy Wu Kwok Sau-ping, Director of Hopewell Holdings Limited, said, “Hopewell is committed to serving the community and actively building a more inclusive society. Tuen Ng Volunteer Visit has been held for 14 years, spreading festive love and warmth with the elderly singletons before the Tuen Ng Festival. This year, we also visited the theme park together, assisting the elderly in building the social network. At the same time, we encourage our employees to give back to society and help those in need."
 
Mr. Ford Choi, Senior Service Manager (Continuing Care Service) of St. James’ Settlement, said, “St. James' Settlement is delighted to be working closely with Hopewell to share our blessings with the elderly. Now in its 14th year, St. James’ Settlement and Hopewell have not only made home visits through the Tuen Ng Volunteer Programme but also ventured to the theme park this year, strengthening the interaction with the community and creating unforgettable memories for elderly singletons, allowing them to feel the care of the society."
