Elderly Explorers: A Day at HKUST 老老友友科大遊

The ageing population in Hong Kong has reached 20.5% in 2021 and is projected to increase to 36% by 2046 out of the 8.19 million HK citizens. The need for elderly care will continue to rise. To address this societal trend, in collaboration with the Haven of Hope Bradbury King Lam Community Health Development Centre, we are currently recruiting HKUST volunteers to facilitate a school tour and engage in games with the elderly, demonstrating our love and care. Join us and participate in this rewarding experience!

香港65歲或以上的人口在2021年已佔人口的20.5%, 可預計在2046年會增長到人口的36%，可見長者的需求將會繼續增加。為了回應這個趨勢，侍學行正與白普理景林社區健康發展中心合作，招募義工協助進行是次校園參觀及集體遊戲。與我們一同服務及為長者帶來愉快的旅程吧！
