Last year, the Society relocated the Hong Kong Recreation Centre. The free up property has been sold and planned to re-buy a commercial unit for ERB courses. Yet the pricing was in high tier and beyond our affordability, therefore no appropriate unit could be bought and we can solely rent the current commercial unit in Cheung Sha Wan. The Society is keen to look for a suitable area to sustain the employment services. Varies projects under Employment Service had steady growth. “Hang Seng Youth Career Planning Scheme” which is renewed and supported by Hang Seng Bank with HK$6.3 million for the next phrase of the service. More resources are allocated by SWD to support employment services to persons in mental recovery. Jockey Club YouChallenge Programme funded by HKJCCT empowered the disadvantaged youths to map out their goals and make it happen. The Society was gladly to receive sponsorship from K&K Charity for ’So-Dragon’ Project, in which the dragon boat team is including our young service users, employers and other partners. Social Enterprise is important to our Employment Development Service. ’SoBakery’ café is a business under Bright Services Company Limited, located in Hing Man Estate of Hong Kong Island. The business officially started in mid-2018. Due to the continue renovation campaigns near the café, the present revenue of the “SoBakery” was affected and barely satisfactory. However, its founding purpose of providing job opportunity to young ex- offenders has been fulfilled and established. Although the café scale is relatively small, it is believed that the business of “SoBakery” will get better with continuous community promotion, and it also serves as a training platform to service users.
