For the third consecutive year, Hang Lung hosted its nationwide volunteer day across Hong Kong and nine cities across mainland China, drawing on corporate volunteers to give back to their communities while celebrating the anniversary of the founding of the Hang Lung Group. This year’s campaign also celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Hang Lung As One Volunteer Team. Inspired by the theme “Diversity and Inclusion – Caring for the Elderly”, the day of service, held on September 17, aroused society’s awareness over the elderly with dementia and living alone, combining the efforts of over 1,200 corporate volunteers to reach out to nearly 5,500 senior citizens in activities carefully curated to demonstrate heartfelt care and concern for building an inclusive and compassionate community.

“Hang Lung has always actively contributed to society through community investment projects that enhance public wellbeing, promote diversity and inclusion and enrich lives. The 10th anniversary of the Hang Lung As One Volunteer Team is an important milestone. Here, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to our volunteers for living up our motto We Do It Well and for their continuous dedication to the community’s sustainable growth,” said Mr. Weber Lo, Chief Executive Officer.

In Hong Kong, our management team led over 100 volunteers to Lantau Island together with a group of elderly dementia patients and their carers, to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and relax surrounded by nature.

Volunteer teams in the nine Mainland cities of Shanghai, Shenyang, Jinan, Wuxi, Tianjin, Dalian, Kunming, Wuhan and Hangzhou also organized a range of social service activities, including visiting nursing homes, distributing handmade gifts, providing haircuts and helping with house cleaning, as well as organizing interactive games for the elderly to participate in, all to provide the most appropriate level of support possible for their wellbeing.
