The Flag Day of Senior Citizen Home Safety Association (‘SCHSA’) on 11th July, 2020 saw overwhelming support from our volunteers working at 25 flag stations in different districts in Hong Kong. The funds raised will be used to offer the deprived elderly and others in need free access to our 24-hour Care-on-Call Service – a suite of emergency assistance and integrated care services – under the Association’s Care-on-Call Charity Programme.  

Professor Christine Fang, the Association’s Chairperson, Ms. Maura Wong, Chief Executive Officer and Professor Teresa Tsien, Honorary Secretary, worked alongside the volunteers in a show of support and team passion, which the scorching weather did little to dampen. The family members of our volunteers also joined in a show of camaraderie, and together they helped to bring safety and peace of mind to the needy, and spread the message of love and care for the elderly. 

Since 1996, Care-on-Call Charity Programme has offered the free Care-on-Call Service to more than 28,500 beneficiaries. Eligible beneficiaries are elderly citizens who are chronically ill or disabled with financial difficulties, and are not eligible for subsidies from Social Welfare Department, Housing Authority or Housing Society for the cost of the service. For more details about SCHSA’s Charity Programme, please refer to www.schsa.org.hk .
