Social Enterprises showcase quality products for Christmas shopping
*******************************************************************
     Christmas is around the corner and it is time for festive gatherings with family and friends. To patronise social enterprises (SEs) to purchase gifts to share the joy of the festival, members of the public can start their Christmas shopping by visiting SE booths at the 52nd Hong Kong Brands and Products Expo (HKBPE) and the "SE Here We Are!" website.

     The HKBPE will be held at Victoria Park from tomorrow (December 16) to January 8. Members of the public are welcome to visit the SE booths at Booths No. 4A10 to 4A13. Fourteen SEs will take turns to showcase their products, including handicrafts and health and organic products. Please refer to the Annex for details. People purchasing products at the SE booths will receive a fine souvenir for free, subject to spending requirements and on a first-come, first-served basis.

     The HKBPE will open from 11am to 10pm, and will close at 8pm on the last day of the exposition. The admission fee is $10, and entry is free for children below 1 metre in height, senior citizens aged 65 or above and persons with disabilities.

     A spokesman for the Home Affairs Department said, "The HKBPE provides a good opportunity for SEs to showcase their quality products and services and reach a wider audience. On the other hand, the newly launched 'SE Here We Are!' website (SEhere.hk, in Chinese only) gives members of the public a glimpse of the vibrancy and multiple facets of SEs, as well as their missions and positive impacts on society."

     The "SE Here We Are!" website showcases videos introducing the missions of SEs and their innovative operations. It also features the latest festive offers that will inspire people to embark on warm and meaningful shopping.

     To look for SEs anytime and anywhere, people can download the new mobile app "SE Directory", which contains details of over 610 SEs with a wide variety of products and services in Hong Kong.
