Lions Clubs International District 303 (China, Hong Kong & Macao) celebrated its 70th anniversary of community service by hosting the “Lions Clubs NGO Partners Appreciation Ceremony” on June 1st. Mr. Ho Kai-ming, JP, Under Secretary for Labour and Welfare, attended as the officiating guest and highly commended the professional services of civil charity organizations. [1]

In active support of this milestone, the Lions Club of Hong Kong Central proudly nominated its long-standing partners, “Helping Hand” and “The Neighbourhood Advice-Action Council”, to receive this institutional recognition. Moving forward, our club will continue to uphold the core motto of “We Serve,” unite community resources, and deepen collaborations with welfare partners to bring warmth to every corner of society.

Entering the 2025-2026 year, President Lion Iris Ho Wong continues to lead our club in extending the spirit of “Joy, Caring, and Peace.”

This year, our service initiatives further deepen our community impact by:

• Serving the elderly, who are one of the primary service focuses of the Lions Club of Central, through regularly organized activities.
• Implementing the service initiatives advocated by Lions Clubs International.

The service theme for our 2024-2025 President, Lion Iris Ho Wong, is “Joy, Caring, and Peace.” With hearts filled with joy, caring unites us, and peace inspires our service to the community.

In this year, our service initiatives focus on:

• Supporting and promoting youth development, fostering positive life attitudes, and providing assistance to underprivileged students.
• Promoting the message of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being and holding various related events.

More than two and half year has passed since the outbreak of COVID-19.  This pandemic  has hit hardest on the underprivileged communities with unprecedented mental and financial challenges especially in the shortages of food, clothing and transportation expenses; thus causing a lot of stress amongst these families.

In view of this, Lions Club of Central would like to organise a series of projects to promote positive reading through online and offline events to help needy single parents and families to strengthen love, care, hope and self-confidence in their families. 

Training these parents with storytelling skill can help them to effectively communicate with their children and improve their relationship.

On the other hand, through professionally trained Central members and volunteers team to tell stories to children and possibly train the students to be good storytellers can also help them build confidence and generate positive energy among these families.

The COVID-19 pandemic is raging imposing threats on personal health, employment, and social interaction which in turn lead to the deterioration in overall mental health. In view of this, The Lions Club of Central develops its 30th Anniversary Theme Service Project with the hope to achieve a healthy body and mind through the five sensory functions of the human body: vision, smell, hearing, taste, and touch. We hope to minimize the impact of the epidemic.

With COVID-19 bringing uncertainty and challenges we’ve never faced before, it’s completely natural if our stress levels have gone up.  During this worrying and challenging time, we know we need to have balance and healthy life. It is our aim to promote and enhance public awareness of managing mental health & staying well through various kinds of services.

In response to the tremendous challenges brought by the sudden outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19), members of Lions Club of Central sensed that elderlies living alone would encounter many difficulties during the fight against the pandemic. Therefore, in addition to donating anti-epidemic materials to many elderly centers, a professional team was invited to cooperate in shooting a series of video clips to teach the correct way to wear masks and wash hands to prevent COVID-19. We’ve also invited TCM doctors to teach nutritious soups, chiropractors to teach fitness gymnastics. The short films would be posted to various social platforms and distributed through different media to benefit the general public.

The official life expectancy for women and men in Hong Kong were 87.66 and 81.7 years becoming the top in global life expectancy ranking. The expected lifespan is getting longer in the world as the advancement of medical technology and better sense of health awareness. We know we need to have balance and healthy life. That is our purpose to serve the elderly to aware of their mental and physical health through various kinds of services.

The Global Service Framework focuses the efforts of Lions and Leos on five service areas (Diabetes, Environment, Hunger Relief, Pediatric Cancer and Vision) with the goal of tripling our humanitarian impact. It complements all of the great ways clubs serve locally, and gives Lions and Leos new opportunities to help meet the growing challenges facing humanity.
