Shui On Seagull Club, a voluntary social service unit registered with the HKSAR government, was established in 1982. Activities are organised by the Club's Executive Committee, formed by volunteers from the Shui On Group. Through participating in voluntary service activities, our staff members contribute to the betterment of the community and the welfare of the less fortunate and needy.
Services and Activities
Shui On Seagull Club aims to serve the community. Since its establishment, the Club has been continuously and actively involved in activities organised by different social service associations and volunteer associations in order to help the elderly, the handicapped and underprivileged children.
Throughout the years, the Club has organised a wide range of activities, such as afforestation of the Shui On Woodland at Tai Lam Country Park; visiting handicapped children at Pinehill Village, Tai Pao, and mending and painting a playground in the village; showing 65 crippled people in wheelchairs around the Window of the World in Shenzhen; paying nearly 100 singleton elderly in Kwun Tong home visits and presenting them with gifts for the Lunar New Year; and providing mentoring services to other corporations that were interested in forming their own volunteer teams and organising volunteer activities.
The annual Charity Walk has raised millions of dollars for worthwhile community service organisations in Hong Kong over the years. In 2007, Shui On Seagull Club's annual Charity Walk raised over HK$135,000 to buy fitness equipment for the Hong Kong PHAB Association.
In addition, the Club also joins forces with different social service associations to help people in need. For instance, in 2007, the Club partnered with TREATS and took part in the pioneering "Circus for All" project to form Hong Kong's first circus team comprising volunteers and children with disabilities. It also organised a dinner for 130 elderly citizens in partnership with Hong Kong Family Welfare Society, and provided children from single-parent families with violins and violin lessons for free in collaboration with the Neighborhood Advice-Action Council.
