Sino Group (the ‘Group’) and the Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation (‘NTFCF’) have sought to give their continuous support to the local community through many varied initiatives over the years. As Christmas approaches, the NTFCF has announced a donation to 81 non-government organisations (NGOs) in Hong Kong, in appreciation of their unwavering commitment to enhancing community well-being. Additionally, the Sino Group volunteer team has organised a series of festive programmes to bring joy and gladness to over 1,000 people in need.
Christmas is approaching, donations have been made to 81 local NGOs encompassing a diverse range of community services, including rehabilitation, community and health services, family support, youth assistance, women’s empowerment, homelessness, religious harmony, social enterprises, animal welfare, bereavement support, education, and arts and culture promotion, among others.
Ms Nikki Ng, Non-Executive Director of Sino Group and Director of the Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation, said, ‘I would like to offer my sincerest thanks to all local organisations and religious institutions for dedicating themselves to the service of the community and tirelessly supporting a wide range of social services. I am also glad to share that many of my Sino Group colleagues and their families have joined our family foundation in the spirit of giving. Together, in the calendar year of 2022, they have contributed over 207,000 volunteer hours in Hong Kong through Sino Caring Friends, supporting over 25,000 less-resourced elderly people, children, and youths, and more than 5,800 families. Let us work together to make a positive contribution towards creating a more equitable and caring society!’
In addition to donations, various festive community activities such as Christmas gift distribution, dinners and sightseeing, lunch buffets and orienteering events have been carried out by the Group’s volunteer team, Sino Caring Friends, benefitting over 1,000 underprivileged children and their families, as well as the elderly and people with special needs. Through the “Operation Santa Claus” programme, the Group has also invited ethnic minority children and their parents from The Zubin Mahtani Gidumal Foundation to The Fullerton Ocean Park Hotel Hong Kong for a festive weekend. They enjoyed a lunch buffet and participated in upcycling workshops, with the aim of creating an inclusive society that values respect and dignity for all.
