Senior Citizen Home Safety Association Flag Day 2021
The Flag Day of Senior Citizen Home Safety Association (‘SCHSA’) on 3rd July, 2021 saw overwhelming support from our volunteers working 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 Teresa B.K. Tsien, the Association’s Vice Chairperson and Ms. Maura Wong, Chief Executive Officer 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.
SCHSA also offer the “Blessing of Peace in All Four Seasons” Online Fundraising Campaign and Gold Flag Donation this year. The public is welcome to invite their relatives and friends to donate online. A donation of HK$100 will receive a Gold Flag Set (Gold Flag and postcard); a donation of HK$300 will receive a Gold Flag Premium Set (Gold Flag, postcard and A4 folder). Both sets have received enthusiastic responses from the community.
Since 1996, Care-on-Call Charity Programme has offered the free Care-on-Call Service to 30,000 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.
