From left to right:< >
Vivian Choi, Chief Executive Officer, Junior Achievement Hong Kong
Alice Lui, Deputy Executive Director, The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups
Lawrence Lam, CEO, Prudential Hong Kong Limited
Fion Leung, Co-founder & CEO, Time Auction
Sky Siu, Executive Director, KELY Support Group
Chen-yang Low, Head of Community Services Division, Tung Wah Group of Hospitals
The new partnerships are with six key NGO partners that supported Prudential’s CSR efforts across the key pillars of “Financial Education”, “Health”, “Social Capital” and “Community Investment”.
Lawrence Lam, Chief Executive Officer of Prudential Hong Kong Limited, said, “Prudential’s purpose of ‘For Every Life. For Every Future.’ reflects our commitment to create greater value for society and a positive sustainable impact for today’s and future generations, through our collaborations and volunteer work with our NGO partners. We thank our key NGO partners – Hong Kong Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service, Junior Achievement Hong Kong, KELY Support Group, The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, Time Auction and Tung Wah Group of Hospitals for their efforts and dedication in supporting our community initiatives under four key focus areas: financial education, health, social capital, and community investment.”
Prudential’s commitment to be the most trusted partner and protector for the community could not be realised without the close partnership from our six community partners. They include:
Hong Kong Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service
Prudential has long been supporting corporate blood donation and was Hong Kong’s only insurer to receive the Elite Partnership Award last year, a testament to Prudential’s ongoing commitment to supporting health and life protection of the Hong Kong society. This year, Prudential’s employees and financial consultants, together with their family and friends, have collectively donated more than 800 bags of blood, helping to save more than 2,400 lives in Hong Kong.
Junior Achievement Hong Kong
Co-developed by Junior Achievement Hong Kong and Prudential Foundation, the community investment arm of Prudential, the Cha-Ching Financial Education Platform aims to instil the four key money management concepts of Earn, Save, Spend and Donate in primary school children through lively and engaging cartoon videos, games and teaching materials. Since its inception eight years ago, the curriculum has benefited over 500,000 primary school children in Asia and Africa. Education materials tailored for primary school children in Hong Kong will be launched this year with the goal of supporting 800 students.
KELY Support Group
Prudential is supporting KELY’s Open Door Work Placement Programme this year to provide training on CV writing, interview skills, basic business acumen, and work etiquettes to Form 6 ethnic minority students. These students also had the opportunity to be placed for summer internship at Prudential or at a company under our network of small and medium enterprises. Having completed the first phase of the programme with positive feedback, Prudential and KELY are recruiting employers and ethnic minority youths to join the second phase in October.
The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups
Last year Prudential started its cooperation with the Federation’s Youth Employment Network to sponsor the $avvy Planner Workshop Series. Leveraging the first board game in Hong Kong that focuses on career planning and financial management, senior secondary school students are edu-tained to develop concepts of financial management, improve their financial quotient (FQ) and lay the foundation for their career planning. This includes learning skills such as setting life and financial goals, budgeting, risk management, saving methods, and controlling expenses. Riding on last year’s success, the HKFYG is currently recruiting secondary school partners for this year’s programme and expecting to increase the number of student beneficiaries to 1,200.
Time Auction
Starting from October, Prudential will partner with Time Auction to mobilise more than 1,000 Prudential employees and financial consultants to participate in Prudential Volunteer Month – a month-long initiative to encourage our employees and financial consultants to join hands to serve and give back to the community, addressing critical social and environmental needs with a focus on Prudential’s ESG priorities.
Tung Wah Group of Hospitals
To support the TWGHs’ relief efforts for the underprivileged, especially in the wake of the pandemic, Prudential sponsored the “Goods-For-You” Scheme Community Support Project to set up vending machines in Sham Shui Po and Yau Tsim Mong districts, allowing eligible sub-divided households and low-income families to collect daily cleaning and hygienic supplies and canned food. In May this year, with the return of the Rubber Duck to the Victoria Harbour, the TWGHs partnered with Prudential and our volunteers from the agency force to take 80 kindergarten kids from Tuen Mun and Tin Shui Wai to see the rubber ducks at the Tamar Park. They all enjoyed a fun and laughter-filled lunch afterwards.
Lam added, “We are grateful for the opportunity to co-create a more inclusive and caring society with our NGO partners. Being a progressive and forward-looking organisation, Prudential strives to create a positive and lasting impact on individuals, families and communities for this generation and for generations to come. We are humbled to be nominated as a recipient for the Caring Company accolade for 20 consecutive years, and we are committed to continue our support for the Hong Kong community.”< >

This year, under the theme of “Caring for Women’s Physical and Mental Health,” more than 1,200 Hang Lung As One volunteers took part in engaging activities for more than 7,300 grassroots women and their children to help them relax and relieve their daily work and family pressures. Participants also included young volunteers from Hong Kong SAR Government’s “Strive and Rise Programme”, encouraging the younger generation to connect with and serve their community.
In Hong Kong, the Hang Lung As One Volunteer Team made hand creams and gifted the products to nearly 500 disadvantaged women, reminding them to take care of themselves and prioritize their physical and mental wellbeing
< >Mr. Weber Lo, Chief Executive Officer of Hang Lung Properties, said, “With the motto We Do It Well, Hang Lung continually contributes to society through community investment projects and volunteer services. Women play an integral part in their families and society. Their physical and mental health is a key issue of concern and importance in our society. On the ‘Hang Lung Nationwide Volunteer Day’ this year, we show our care and support for groups of these highly devoted women as a token of appreciation for their dedication. I am also glad that our colleagues across the nation have actively participated in Hang Lung As One volunteering activities, contributing to the wellbeing and sustainability of our community.”
The volunteer team from Grand Gateway 66 in Shanghai collaborated with tenants to hold a coffee art workshop for grassroots women as well as tasting special desserts with them, providing an opportunity to relax and unwind
< >In Hong Kong, the previously scheduled activities for Nationwide Volunteer Day were postponed due to the impacts of a record-breaking rainstorm. However, this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the Hang Lung As One Volunteer Team. With the guidance of female tutors from the Hong Kong Federation of Women’s Centres, the volunteers worked together to make hand creams and distributed them along with care packages to nearly 500 disadvantaged women and their families. The volunteer team will also invite a group of women and their children from the North District of the New Territories to participate in a refreshing nature bath at The Peak and a delightful lunch at Peak Galleria in the near future. We hope to alleviate some of the emotional stress on these families after the torrential rains with a relaxing and enjoyable parent-child activity.
Heartland 66 volunteers in Wuhan thanked sanitation workers and migrant women, and arranged a movie-watching session in the plaza’s cinema for them, enjoying a pleasant day together
< >Members of Hang Lung management on the Mainland also led the Hang Lung As One Volunteer Teams to actively engage local government departments, tenants, and relevant industry experts in conducting a series of enriching and relaxing activities for women. In Shanghai and Kunming, volunteers worked with tenants to hold workshops on physiotherapy yoga, pour-over coffee and flower arrangement, allowing grassroots women to relieve their stress and enjoy artistic expression. In Shenyang and Jinan, volunteer teams arranged professional health lectures and fitness classes aimed at women to enhance their health literacy and inspire them to pay more attention to their physical and mental health. Meanwhile, the Hang Lung As One Volunteer Teams from Wuxi, Tianjin, Dalian, Wuhan, and Hangzhou organized excursions, movie watching, and photo shoots for women, giving them the opportunity to enjoy quality time with their children, let go of their worries, and enhance their happiness.
Established in Hong Kong in 2012, the Hang Lung As One Volunteer Team actively cooperates with various community groups and charitable organizations to support the wellbeing of society. Over the past 11 years, the initiative has set up 12 teams across Hong Kong and 11 projects in 9 Mainland cities, which take part in a range of social service activities to promote women’s empowerment, youth education and development, and elderly services, with more than 11,400 volunteers and over 135,000 accumulated service hours, to create a diverse and inclusive community.
