OUR VOLUNTEER LEADERSHandsOn Hong Kong’s Volunteer Leaders are instrumental to the running of our year-round calendarof volunteer activities. These individuals commit to lead a specific volunteer program for a minimumof three months. They conduct on-site volunteer briefings for all new joiners, are responsible forcoordinating volunteers through pre-event reminders and provide event reports and post-eventfeedback to our team.Our Volunteer Leaders’ contribution to HandsOn Hong Kong—and the NGOs and beneficiaries weserve—is invaluable to our work.

We have had particular succcess with the “Art Latté” workshops. The students are supported by volunteers recruited by HandsOn to maximize their learning. Interaction with caring individuals, beyond the security of their families and teachers, is critical to the students’ personal and social development. In 2016, we helped to develop 18 skills workshops, and mobilized 93 volunteers to support these activites. These workshops played a role in equipping 183 students with employable skills.13 Hong Kong Poverty Situation Report on Disability 2013 (Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region) 20HandsOn Hong Kong Annual Report 2016

2. SOUP FOR THE ELDERLYCommunity ChallengeThe poverty rate amongst the elderly in Hong Kongcontinues to grow, with 30% of citizens over the age of65 now destitute—an increase of 14,700 people fromthe year before14. With demand for elderly care homesfar outweighing the supply, many elderly also need toremain in their homes for longer, often in isolation.With elderly remaining at home for longer, this is alsoplacing additional burden on the city’s elderly centersand social workers.

MEET SOMEONE IMPACTED BY OUR WORKOver 60% of the beneficiaries we served in 2016 were children or youths under the age of 18. Thisis reflective of our work every year as we and our NGO partners are committed to empowering,educating and supporting young individuals in need of support. We hope that by building theirself-esteem and equipping them with important life tools, we are maximizing their ability toactively contribute to society and end the perpetuation of poverty cycles within their families.Sijaswi is an ethnic minority student who has been part of the CHEER primary years programfor five years.

Every bespoke corporate program we develop supports the work of one or more of our NGO partners, thus benefiting the wider community and raising awareness of Hong Kong’s social issues. In Hong Kong, the need for companies to engage with the community in a meaningful way has never been more evident. The latest Edelman Trust Barometer17 revealed that trust in Hong Kong business is at an all-time low, with only 34% of those surveyed responding positively. While trust is low, 66% of citizens expect business to play a role in addressing societal issues. Edelman’s report suggests that beyond having ethical business practices, one important driver of trust for business is helping to address society’s needs. 17 Edelman Trust Baramoter 2016: Annual global study 27
