              疫境求存 民間自強 2020 年轉眼過了四分一，但相信這段日子裡市民過得一點也不容易，尤其是弱勢社群。新年伊始便遇上新型傳染病爆發，當社會大多數天天都在四出撲口罩、消毒搓手液、討論家中口罩存貨、停課、留家工作等防疫措施的時候，基層每天卻不得不繼續為口奔馳，早出晚歸，根本無暇為防疫作準備功夫。 隨疫情發展，社會亦幾近陷入半停擺狀態，市道轉差，基層勞工最擔心的莫過於要面臨放無薪假、減薪、甚至失業，朝不保夕。 看到「疫」境下基層沉重生活負擔百上加斤，社福界同工加強服務支援，繼續走到最前線與弱勢社群同舟共濟，並推動社會各界一起以同理心關懷弱勢。   查閱更多         走進斗室 伸出援手 以前劏房問題曝光不久時，人人罵聲不絕，狠斥劏房畸形、不人道。然而在住屋問題日益惡化下，今天劏房竟變得有價有市，全港多達數以十萬計基層市民便寄居於這些不到百呎的斗室。住戶人數節節上升，問題亦接踵而來。不再只著眼於空間有多狹窄，延伸至精神健康、家居安全、濫收水電等問題亦陸續浮現。這些都非一朝一夕能夠解決，也難以單憑一己之力面對。除了適時的現金援助，劏房戶更需要長期服務支援，協助他們應對生活難題。   查閱更多             從「心」抗疫 如何面對疫情下的情緒困擾 迎來不確定的疫情，社會出現集體焦慮和憤怒，停工停學，擔心受感染，搶口罩、撲物資、憂生計，多重壓力為每個人的精神健康埋下計時炸彈。「港講訴Time to Heal」計劃擴展至受疫情影響下而出現心理及精神創傷的市民，為有需要人士提供心理健康支援。同時，此計劃亦會繼續服務受社會危機影響的人士。   查閱更多                   ...

With COVID-19, there should be social distancing. The question is whether instead of a phsyical meeting for the upcoming annual general meeting, can this be done partly online? That is, the organiser being at one place, and the members joining online to prevent the spread of COVID-19 pandemic. This webinar will explore various issues regarding the above topic; including the law, the practical and logistic arrangements, the technology and experience sharing with our professional speakers. The webinar is intended to be practical and to help you plan a hybrid meeting, if possible, for now or in the future. HKCSS is grateful to The Hong Kong Institute of Chartered Secretaries (HKICS) and Tricor Group for their expert knowledge and contribution to the discussion.   Event details: Date: 29 April 2020 (Wednesday) Time: 4:00pm - 5:30pm Speakers:  Mrs April Chan FCIS FCS, Past President and Chairman of Technical Consultation Panel, HKICS Mr Mohan Datwani FCIS FCS (PE), Senior Director and Head of Technical and Research, HKICS Ms Catharine Wong, Head of Share Registry & Issuer Services, Tricor Hong Kong Language: Cantonese (materials in English) Target participants: NGO Board / committee members (top priority), Agency Heads, Company Secretaries, Senior Management of concerned HKCSS Agency Members Interested parties please register online on or ...
