Joyful Café for the Elderly

Caring for elderly people is an important part of our Community Ambassador Programme. This year, more than 70 Community Ambassadors supported a YWCA pilot programme called “Joyful Café for the Elderly”, a partnership between the Hong Kong Social Welfare Department and the YWCA which encourages elderly people suffering from dementia and their family caregivers to exercise and learn practical skills. The three sessions focused on communication skills, time management skills, tendon strengthening exercises and playing various games. Taking place at PUBLIC in Taikoo Place, the sessions engaged 240 participants.
