Engaging the Community

Voluntary Services and Charity Activities

In addition to our sewage treatment and flood prevention works, our staff members are devoted to participate in a number of voluntary services and charity activities to contribute to the well-being of the society.

Interest Classes for the Elderly

Our Volunteer Team continued to arrange interest classes for the elderly in Lai Yiu Bradbury Care Home. We showed our care to the elderly and worked with them to explore innovative ideas to make key holders and greeting cards.

「香港人‧香港心」活動 "Hong Kong Citizen, Hong Kong Heart" Campaign

Our Volunteer Team joined the "Hong Kong Citizen, Hong Kong Heart" Campaign organised by the Social Welfare Department to make and deliver auspicious gifts with blessing to the elderly.
