This exciting initiative has given us a fresh image that resonates with the public, at the same time reflecting our progressive spirit as an organisation that is constantly evolving and adapting to the ever- changing society we serve. With our new image, we hope to leave a lasting impression to the public and encourage everyone to become our brand ambassador to inspire others and join us in embodying our mission of “Everyone deserves to belong”. Our service scope is extensive, including social rehabilitation, mental wellness, competency development, community education, cultural inclusion, and community connection. Over the past year, I am grateful for the team’s efforts in continuously enhancing the quality and scope of our services with unwavering enthusiasm and professionalism. Through a variety of diverse programmes and projects, we have provided substantial assistance and support to society. Social rehabilitation and crime prevention have always been the core work of SideBySide. We are committed to providing comprehensive services to individuals of different ages and backgrounds. From the moment of arrest through the lengthy judicial process, our court social workers offer diverse support to those in need, including legal advice and psychological counselling. During the period of incarceration, our team regularly visits correctional facilities, providing services such as career development and employment counselling. Prior to release, we arrange appropriate services and referrals for rehabilitated individuals in areas such as family support, employment preparation, housing assistance. After release, we assist them in adapting to social life, accompanying them on their path to rehabilitation, and providing appropriate follow-up and support.
