We are pleased to invite you to a cross‑sector networking event filled with warmth and fur at The Puppy Lounge by Rise Wise.
Over the years, Rise Wise has been supporting children and adolescents with special educational needs (SEN) through therapy dog services and animal‑assisted interventions. This year, with the support of the HKEX Impact Funding Scheme, Rise Wise established The Puppy Lounge, a professional pet care and grooming training centre for underprivileged SEN youth and a recharging space designed for busy urban dwellers.
The event also features sharing from Furry Green, another social enterprise supported by the HKEX Impact Funding Scheme. Through an upcycling model, Furry Green transforms surplus pre‑retail food ingredients into sustainable and nutritious pet food, tackling food waste at source while advancing environmental sustainability.
Through this visit, participants will gain firsthand insights into the stories of the two social enterprises and how partnerships can help drive long‑term, sustainable social and environmental impact.
