BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES
Tung Chung is a rapidly developing remote New Town. Drastic growth of population lead to a greatly-increased needs of local public facilities and service support for new Tung Chung residents, ethnic minorities as well as existing local residents.
Thus, Swire Trust’s TrustTomorrow Initiative supports HKCSS partnering with four local NGOs to launch “Building Community, Building Tung Chung” Programme. Through the provision of various supports to families in the district, the Programme aims to foster mutual help synergy in the neighbourhood and engage the community to build a trustful and inclusive Tung Chung together.
Phase I: Oct 2020 – March 2021 – Timely Support
It was a huge challenge in 2020 when facing the pandemic. With the support of the Association of School Heads of Islands District, the Programme partnered with kindergartens, schools and NGOs to provide timely support of food and online activities for more than a thousand families and individuals.
Phase II: April 2021 – March 2023 – Connecting the Community
Phase II has been kick-started in April 2021. It aims to provide series of sports, play, career and social inclusion activities to Tung Chung families through the collaboration between NGOs, schools and corporates in the community. From individual self-development, fostering family cohesion, to enhance community induction and integration, we strive to build a trustful Tung Chung community.
