We understand that our services are closely related to people's daily life and therefore we establish effective channels to better communicate with the public. Besides organising activities to engage the public through awareness events, group visits, outreaching educational programmes and media exposure, we also seek for other opportunities to contribute directly to the communities by providing voluntary services and participating in charity activities.
