Volunteers from Audit Commission spread warmth and care to elderly

Around 30 volunteers from the Audit Commission (Audit) paid a visit to the elderly residents of Ching Chung Rev. Hau Po Woon Neighbourhood Elderly Centre in Tin Shui Wai on the Saturday morning of 2 December 2023.

The visit was packed with activities and fun.  Young at heart and filled with energy, the senior residents showcased their prowess in the games.  With the winter solstice around the corner, Audit volunteers gave out hot packs and snacks as early festive treats for the elderly.  The event filled the centre with laughter and joy.  After the activity, Prof. Nelson Lam, the Director of Audit, expressed his heartfelt thanks to the colleagues for going into the community and giving care to the elderly in their leisure time.  With the District Council election approaching soon on 10 December, the Director of Audit took the opportunity to promote the election to the elderly and staff of the centre, urging them to encourage their families and friends to vote.

As the ancient saying goes, one should “respect and care for the elderly of one’s family, as well as those of other families”.  Audit staff will continue to pass on the time-honoured virtue through different activities and platforms.  In the days to come, the Department will continue to serve with sincerity and respect, and spare no effort in caring for the community.

Volunteers from the Audit Commission were impressed by the elderly, who showcased their
prowess and creativity during the games.

Volunteers from the Audit Commission and the elderly enjoyed
wide-ranging conversations like old friends.

In his speech, Prof. Nelson Lam, the Director of Audit, also took the opportunity
to promote the District Council election, urging participants of the event
to encourage their families and friends to vote.
