This year, I will lead the Board of Directors 2024/2025 to shoulder the key responsibility of overseeing the Group’s charitable endeavours. With the governance motto of “Advocating Virtues and Spreading Benevolence in Hong Kong”, we will advocate and promote traditional virtues and wisdom, extending TWGHs’ love and kindness to every corner of our society.

Ms. TANG Ming Wai, Mandy, the Chairman, said that the Board has already, in its Annual Plan, drawn up more comprehensive and precise initiatives for TWGH’s services in the coming year, as it aims to address various needs related to people’s livelihood. Thanks to the support of the Government and various sectors of the society, the number of the Group’s service units has been increased to 380, and the recurring expenses including those of medical services for the coming year will exceed $12.7 billion. Additionally, the Group is also in the process of planning and launching multiple large-scale construction projects spanning several years, including implementing Kwong Wah Hospital Redevelopment Project Phase 2, school reprovisioning projects, the launch of campus relocations, expanded services for residential home and the operation of the Community Living Room programme. The Group will remain committed to a cautious budgetary strategy in the execution of various development initiatives, and it will monitor the Group’s operations through effective administrative measures. In short, TWGHs will put the best use every cent from public donation and transform benevolence into appropriate welfare services, striving to reach out to more Hong Kong people in need.
