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 Neighbourhood Advice-Action Council Shamshuipo District Elderly Community 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，侍學行正與深水埗康齡社區服務中心合作，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！
