Expressing heartfelt thanks to all the organisations, groups and volunteers for pledging support for the Celebrations for All project, Mr Sit pointed out the importance of partnership with district organisations to demonstrate multipartite collaborations to care for the elderly and frail persons and foster unity, the spirit of mutual help and a caring and inclusive culture, as well as social cohesion in society.
The Celebrations for All project is one of the major events to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the HKSAR. With funding from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the project has been implemented by the 18 District Offices under the Home Affairs Department together with non-governmental organisations and community organisations in the districts to spread the joy of the anniversary to the underprivileged.
