  Introduction Changes have become part of our lives — resources stability, compliance requirements, stakeholder expectations, and team restructuring all demand rapid adaptation. As the vital bridge between organisational strategy and frontline service delivery, many middle managers must ensure that both they and their teams can adapt to or even drive changes. While leading changes is a must-have leadership skill for NGO middle managers nowadays, navigating change brings real struggles: self-doubt, unclear direction, team resistance, burnout, and the frustration of unrealised initiatives. Change management is an evolving process. Effective change leadership offers a way forward, driving service advancement and amplifying social impact through awareness, empathy, and strategic mindset that guide teams effectively through transformation. This workshop helps middle managers understand how individuals respond to change and develop the mindset needed to lead teams effectively in dynamic environments. Participants will also be able to create and implement a robust change goal ...

Against the backdrop of Hong Kong’s accelerating population ageing and the high cost of elderly care, how to meet the needs of both frail older persons who require close and intensive care and active older persons who pursue a high quality of life has become an issue that society must address with urgency.

In response to the unfortunate fire at Tai Po Wang Fuk Court on November 26, 2025, the HKCSS established the ‘Caring Company Scheme: Support Fund for Tai Po Wang Fuk Court’ the day after the incident. This fund collects donations from businesses and foundations through the Caring Company Scheme’s online fundraising platform.

In the first phase (the three months following the incident), our support focused on ...

Hong Kong is facing delayed marriage, low birth rates, and shrinking family sizes. As family structures and dynamics continue to evolve, the number of one- and two-person households is steadily rising, reflecting the shifting attitudes toward building family relationships in modern society. Under this trend, low-to-middle-income one- and two-person households entering middle-to-old age will face bigger challenge in areas such as health, employment, finances, and social life. Without a support network, these individuals are at risk of social isolation.

Compared to Hong Kong, solo living is even more prevalent in South Korea and the South Korean government introduced “Act on the Prevention and Management of Solitary Deaths” followed by a comprehensive master plan and the establishment of ...
