善導會 2024-2025年報
6 | 善導會 SideBySide | | 主席獻辭 | CHAIRPERSON’S MESSAGE | Supported by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the “Jockey Club ‘Craft Your Life Together’ Co-living Community Project” is a forward-thinking initiative in Hong Kong’s social welfare sector. Designed as a one-stop accommodation and support service for Out-of-home Youths (OHYs) and Persons in Recovery (PIRs), it addresses their personal development and social connection needs, extending beyond the traditional dormitory model. With the reconstruction of Shau Kei Wan House set to be completed in the third quarter of 2025, the newly named “Jockey Club Key House” will commence operations in the fourth quarter, providing 120 residential spaces. We look forward to this new space serving not only as a comfortable residence but also as a warm base for young people to explore their potential, plan their careers, and build deep community connections. Here, youth from diverse backgrounds will learn to understand and support one another, creating an inclusive community filled with a sense of belonging, embodying SideBySide’s core purpose of “Everyone Deserves to Belong.” In equipping youth to face future challenges, we sincerely thank Hongkong Land HOME FUND for their trust and support in launching the “Impact Fund for Future” . Over the next three years, the fund will invest over HK$4 million to provide up to HK$50,000 in educational loans for disadvantaged groups, including rehabilitated youth. In times of economic uncertainty, skill enhancement is critical for disadvantaged youth to remain competitive. This programme is not only a timely solution but also a long-term investment in their potential, injecting new vitality and diversity into Hong Kong’s human resources. Meanwhile, the “Hang Seng Youth Career Planning Scheme,” supported by Hang Seng Bank for a decade, has yielded remarkable results. Over the past ten years, the programme has served over 2,200 young people, with 300 gaining valuable internship or job- shadowing opportunities and 127 entrepreneurial dreams sprouting through funding. As times change, so do the challenges faced by youth. The programme has evolved, expanding from primarily serving unemployed youth to supporting diverse groups, including highly educated rehabilitated youth, those recovering from mental health challenges, and youth with special learning needs. Ten years is not an endpoint. The programme will take on a new form as “Project Forward”, offering services tailored to Generation Z, such as digital skills training and metaverse career experiences, aligning with the unique pulse of today’s youth and guiding them to find their own direction in an era of uncertainty. 由香港賽馬會慈善信託基金捐助的 「 賽馬會 『 拍住上 』 共居社區計劃 」 , 是香港社福界一項 具前瞻性的嘗試 。 作為首個為家外青年及精 神復元人士提供的一站式住宿及發展支援服 務 , 它超越了傳統宿舍的概念 。 隨著筲箕灣宿 舍重建工程於即將完成 , 命名為 「 賽馬會箕寓 」 的全新共住大樓將於二零二五年底投入服務 , 提供 120 個宿位 。 我們期待這個嶄新的空間 , 不僅提供舒適的居所 , 更能成為青年人探索 自我 、 規劃生涯 、 助人自助 、 建立深厚社區連 繫的溫暖基地 。 在這裡 , 來自不同背景的年輕 人將學習彼此理解 、 互相支持 , 也透過與精神 復元人士的生活邂逅 , 彼此激勵 , 共同建構一 個充滿歸屬感的共融社區 , 體現善導會 「 自在 共融 」 的核心理念 。 在裝備青年迎向未來挑戰方面 , 我們衷心感 謝 「 置地公司家基金 」 的信任與支持 , 與我們 共同推出 「 置未來基金 」。 未來三年 , 基金將 投放逾四百萬港元 , 為更生青年等弱勢群體 提供進修貸款 。 在經濟波動時期 , 技能提升對 弱勢青年保持競爭力至關重要 。 計劃不僅是 解決燃眉之急的及時雨 , 更是對青年潛能的 長遠投資 , 有助提升年青人更多元的未來 。 與此同時 , 紮根十年的 「 恒生青年前路探索計 劃 」 , 在恒生銀行的持續支持下 , 已迎來豐碩 的成果 。 十年來 , 計劃累計服務超過 2,200 名 青年 , 其中 300 人獲得了寶貴的工作實習或影 子學習機會 , 更有 127 個創業夢想透過資助得 以萌芽 。 時代在變 , 青年的挑戰也在變 。 計劃 與時並進 , 從最初主要服務待業青年 , 擴展至 支援高學歷更生青年 、 精神復元青年 、 有特殊 學習需要青年等多元群體 。 十年並不是句點 , 計劃將以 「 恒生 X 善導會未來力培訓所 」 的全 新面貌繼續裝備弱勢青年 , 提供更切合 Z 世代 青年需要的服務 , 推出數碼技能培訓 、 元宇宙 職業體驗等創新服務 , 緊貼當代青年的獨特 脈搏 , 陪伴他們在充滿不確定性的時代中 , 找 到屬於自己的座標 。
