HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 14 November 2022 – Hang Lung Properties (the “Company” or “Hang Lung”, SEHK stock code: 00101) and the Hong Kong Young Women’s Christian Association (“HKYWCA”) jointly organized the second “Love·No·Limit” Dementia Friendly Program – Community Inclusion Day at Amoy Plaza last weekend. At the event, free brain health consultations and cognitive testing services were offered to close to 100 individuals with the aim of promoting early detection of dementia symptoms. Over 7,600 members of the community along with dementia patients and their carers participated in the two-day event.

In the “Dementia Friendly Art Gallery”, the Hang Lung As One Volunteer Team and HKYWCA young volunteers introduce the artworks created by dementia patients to members of the public

Ms. Helen Lau, Deputy Director (Head of Hong Kong Business Operations) of Hang Lung Properties, said, “With Hong Kong’s ageing population, the rising number of dementia cases, and younger adults being diagnosed with the disease, we hope that our collaboration with the HKYWCA in the ‘Love·No·Limit’ Dementia Friendly Program can have a positive impact on the people affected by dementia and society at large. By increasing awareness in the community, encouraging early detection of symptoms, and supporting dementia patients and their carers while fostering cross-generational ties, we believe the Program will contribute to a more inclusive, caring, and dementia-friendly world. At Hang Lung, we started dementia-friendly training for our frontline staff in 2021 and will have 100% recognized as ‘Dementia Friends’ by the Social Welfare Department by first half in 2023.”
