What goods, publications and social enterprise services does TWGHs Social Services offer?

Updated

Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (TWGHs) Social Services runs a "Products and Services" (商品服務) section and a "Publications" (出版刊物) section on its website, and it treats Social Enterprises and Social Innovation (社會企業及社會創新) as one of its core service areas alongside elderly, youth and family, and rehabilitation services. The site highlights social enterprise brands such as TungPo Café, iBakery, and the Love Bakery (愛烘焙餐廳), which offer food, gift boxes, and catering. Availability, menus, and ordering details change over time, so confirm current offerings on the website before relying on them.

What the website covers

The TWGHs Social Services homepage lists these main sections:

  • About Social Services (關於社會服務)
  • Service Programmes (服務計劃)
  • Unit Search (單位搜尋)
  • Activity News (活動消息)
  • Research and Development (研究及發展)
  • Products and Services (商品服務)
  • Publications (出版刊物)
  • Volunteer Recruitment (義工招募)
  • Join the Social Services Division (加入社會服務科)

The service areas named on the page are Elderly Services (安老服務), Youth and Family Services (青少年及家庭服務), Rehabilitation Services (復康服務), and Social Enterprises and Social Innovation (社會企業及社會創新). So goods and publications sit alongside direct care services rather than being a separate commercial arm.

Social enterprise brands mentioned

The site's news and highlights reference several social enterprise operations:

Brand What the page shows
TungPo Café Announced its official opening (4 Nov 2024)
iBakery Parents' Day gift boxes on sale (23 Apr 2026)
Love Bakery (愛烘焙餐廳) Parents' Day limited set menus, with a note welcoming carers to book tables and eat with family (23 Apr 2026)

These are examples drawn from the site's own announcements, not a complete list of social enterprise outlets. The page also notes that part of TWGHs' services are subsidised by the Social Welfare Department, which is separate from how any individual product or meal is priced.

Publications

The website has a dedicated Publications (出版刊物) section in its main navigation. The homepage excerpt does not list individual titles, so use that section directly to see what is currently available. Research and Development (研究及發展) is a separate section and is where study findings are announced — for example, results from the Jockey Club "Parent Relief Programme 2.0" and a study with HKU on the psychological stress of carers of people in mental health recovery.

How to check current offerings

  1. Go to tungwahcsd.org.
  2. Open 商品服務 (Products and Services) for goods and social enterprise items, or 出版刊物 (Publications) for published material.
  3. Check 活動消息 (Activity News) for time-limited promotions — the Parents' Day items above appeared there with specific dates.
  4. For a physical outlet, use 單位搜尋 (Unit Search), which filters by service type (including Social Enterprises and Social Innovation) and by district across Hong Kong.

Expected result: you reach the specific brand or publication page rather than a general description. A common snag is that seasonal items (festival gift boxes, set menus) are announced with dates and may not be orderable outside those windows.

What to keep in mind

  • The page shows announcements, not a live catalogue or price list. Treat any product, menu, or publication as subject to change.
  • Social enterprise outlets are listed under a distinct service category, so searching by district plus "Social Enterprises and Social Innovation" is the fastest route to one near you.
  • Nothing on the page indicates that products, publications, or memberships are free; pricing and ordering terms are not stated in the excerpt, so check the individual brand or section page.
