What Service Programmes and Activities Are Featured on the TWGHs Social Services Website?
Updated
The TWGHs Social Services website (tungwahcsd.org) presents a mix of long-running service programmes and time-limited activity notices, organised under four main service categories: elderly services, youth and family services, rehabilitation services, and social enterprise and social innovation. The homepage highlights selected programmes with short descriptions, while a dated news section lists announcements and events. If you are looking for something specific to join or follow, the site's unit search and keyword search functions are the practical starting points.
Main Service Categories
The site groups its work into four areas, each with its own section:
- Elderly services (安老服務)
- Youth and family services (青少年及家庭服務)
- Rehabilitation services (復康服務)
- Social enterprise and social innovation (社會企業及社會創新)
These categories also structure the site's search tools, so you can filter units and buildings by service type as well as by district.
Featured Programmes on the Homepage
The homepage gives short profiles of selected programmes. Examples visible in the site content include:
| Programme | What it covers |
|---|---|
| 安辭在家 3.0:「無憾旅程」計劃 (2026–2028) | A home-based end-of-life care programme using a Co-Care and cross-professional case management model |
| 第十一屆賽馬會青少年足球領袖計劃 (2014–2026) | A youth football leadership scheme run with the Hong Kong Jockey Club and Manchester United |
| 賽馬會安寧頌:融和篇 (東華三院) | A hospice and palliative care related programme under the Rehabilitation Services Division, funded by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust |
These illustrate the range on the site: end-of-life support, youth development through sport, and palliative care, rather than a single service type.
Activity News and Announcements
The site maintains a dated news and events section. Entries are listed with specific dates, which makes it possible to see what is current or upcoming. Examples from the site content include:
- 10–12/11/2025 and 26–28/1/2026 — 「護老齊接力」計劃 "護老友伴培訓課程" (a caregiver training course)
- 15/5/2026 — Announcement of research results for the Jockey Club "家長樂輕鬆計劃2.0", covering a wearable motion-sensing training system for children's sensory integration and coordination
- 13/3/2026 — A caregiver resource centre and HKU study on the psychological stress and support needs of carers of people in mental health recovery
- 23/4/2026 — Parent's Day and Mother's Day limited set menus at an iBakery restaurant, and iBakery gift boxes
- 15/04/2026 — Opening of the Yau Ma Tei Community Living Room (油麻地社區客廳), aimed at expanding living space and encouraging neighbourly mutual aid
The dates matter: some entries are one-off events, others are recurring courses or seasonal promotions. Checking the date tells you whether an item is still relevant.

Districts covered in the search filters include Central and Western, Kowloon City, Yuen Long, North, Southern, Tai Po, Tuen Mun, Eastern, Sha Tin, Yau Tsim Mong, Sham Shui Po, Wan Chai, Tsuen Wan, Kwai Tsing, Sai Kung, Kwun Tong, Cheung Sha Wan, Islands, and Wong Tai Sin.
Practical Notes
- The site is available in Chinese and English (an English link appears in the navigation).
- Some services are subsidised by the Social Welfare Department, as stated in the site footer.
- Programme pages give a short summary only; for enrolment details, eligibility, or fees, you would need to follow the individual programme or contact the relevant unit. The site content does not list pricing for these programmes.
- Because activity news is dated, treat any event listing as time-sensitive and confirm current status before acting on it.
