Building a More Liveable Intergenerational Community
In partnership with The Hong Kong Council of Social Service, the Age-Friendly Estates Pilot Scheme was launched in 2023, introducing a series of initiatives and events to raise awareness of healthy ageing in place and promote an age-friendly neighbourhood that supports residents.
In collaboration with the Golden Age Foundation, we have introduced a variety of specially curated soft meal recipes designed for seniors with swallowing challenges. Made with fresh, wholesome ingredients, these meals ensure that elderly can enjoy dishes with ease, creating a more inclusive dining experience.
The Group and Caritas Community Centre in Tsuen Wan launched the “My Good Part-Time Grandchildren” (PTGC) Programme to foster intergenerational connections and enhance elderly residents’ access to community resources. Volunteers engage with the elderly through shared meals, activities, visits, and outings.
Since 2021, we have partnered with the Senior Citizen Home Safety Association on the Care for the Elderly Ambassador Programme, now in its second three-year cycle. This initiative fosters meaningful connections between youth and the elderly, reinforcing our commitment to a caring and inclusive community.
With a focus on the wellbeing of golden agers, Chinachem Group supports the ACE Art competition, organised by the Mighty Oaks Foundation. About 1,700 pieces of artwork created by young students are gifted to elderly homes and centres, spread love and joy across generations.

Sustaining an Inclusive Society
For the fourth consecutive year, we support Operation Santa Claus, a city-wide charity campaign organised by the South China Morning Post and Radio Television Hong Kong. Through various initiatives, we aim to spread joy and care to those in need, promoting the spirit of giving.
Chinachem was the lead partner of the fundraising initiative Urban Climb 300M+, where paraplegic rock climber Lai Chi-wai take on the challenge of climbing Nina Tower, Chinachem’s landmark headquarters in Tsuen Wan and the tallest building in New Territories. This project raised more than HK$7.7 million, including our matching donation of over HK$3.8 million, to the “Get up and Walk” programme of the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology in the LKS Faculty of Medicine at The University of Hong Kong (HKUMed).
The onset of Covid-19 led to the mass closure of schools in Hong Kong, immediately forcing organised learning online. However gaining access to computers and the internet, often regarded as universal, can be very challenging for underprivileged families. With the assistance of the Rotary Club of Kai Tak, the Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong Single Parents Association, we donated laptops and internet connections, together with the set up of software and the offer of basic training to 53 children living in Shek Kip Mei and Sham Shui Po.
Providing persons with disabilities opportunities to work is a key component to these individuals long-term financial needs and mental health, and the disabled are typically at greater risk during pandemic. To assist with this, Chinachem sponsored Fu Hong Society’s social enterprise to provide free local-invented long-term disinfection coating spray services for 20 day service centres by a team comprising persons with and without disabilities. This initiative not only creates safer environment against Covid-19, but also offers the disabled job opportunities, allowing them to help themselves as well as those in need, and make it a win-win situation for society.
During COVID-19, some of our hotels served as Designated Hotels for quarantine stays. At Nina Hotel Island South, over 170 quarantined guests organised “The Wave,” decorating their windows with uplifting messages to express gratitude. Our colleagues responded with warm smiles and waves in return.
