About the organisation
Helping Hand was established in 1978 with the initial aim of assisting elderly individuals living in cramped bed spaces and facing forced relocation. It is now a registered charitable organization in Hong Kong, dedicated to supporting seniors with housing and care needs. Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for the elderly by providing a wide range of services, including residential care and community outreach programs.
Mission
To meet the emerging housing, caring and other needs of our senior citizens as quickly, effectively and imaginatively as possible. In order to cope with the rapid social changes and the changing needs and aspirations of our senior citizens, we are always ready to tackle problems, try out new ideas and pioneer alternative approaches.
