Community Caring Fund Battles COVID-19
The Swire Properties Community Caring Fund (“CCF”) provides sponsorship to lesser-known Hong Kong-based community organisations nominated by our employees to help these organisations plan and implement community-based initiatives and outreach projects.
This year the CCF provided pandemic-related support to the community via various channels, including working with NGOs and professional bodies to provide supplies to groups of people in need. Swire Properties launched a series of measures to safeguard the health of our staff and tenants during the COVID-19 outbreak.
One of the programmes funded by the CCF was called “Caring Starts from Home”, which targeted high-risk workers at our properties and their families – such as cleaners, building management, security, and technical staff – all of whom received a special “safety care pack” filled with disinfectant products and a pamphlet highlighting 16 health tips. Over 2,800 packs were distributed in total.
Along with distributing hand disinfectant to our frontline staff and contractors to maintain their safety at work, an awareness campaign was launched to remind these staff members to stay safe and practice good personal hygiene, providing 16 easy-to-remember health tips. A series of digital stickers was also created to help increase the impact of the campaign.

The Zhuchuang Community Centre
Since 2018, the Zhuchuang Community Centre in Sichuan has been a base for Swire Properties volunteers, who regularly hold charity events aimed at young people and seniors living in nearby communities. During the pandemic, the Zhuchuang Community Centre joined forces with several social work organisations to enrich the online studying experience of students. The Centre launched online classes, with themes including computer programming, English lessons, as well as sessions on psychotherapy and COVID-19 protection. The Centre also collaborated with a number of social work organisations and volunteers to deliver essential protection gear and other materials to workers on the front line.
