Siu Lam Long Term Care Home & Goodwell Property Management Co. Ltd. Joint Volunteer Initiative
On 19 July, the "Family Photo Day” volunteer event, jointly organised by Siu Lam Long Term Care Home and Goldwell Property Management Ltd. was a great success. The event centred around themes of building self-confidence and creating warm experiences. Through activities such as taking family portraits, crafting heartfelt photo frames, and touring the facility, the residents were able to enjoy quality weekend time with their loved ones. Meanwhile, volunteers gained a deeper understanding of the everyday needs of persons in recovery, fostering greater community-business collaboration.

The booth also promoted the [330] Wellbeing Index and the concept of "330 micro-breaks”, helping visitors understand the importance of maintaining holistic wellbeing. The response was overwhelmingly positive.
