Chaired by Johanna Arculli, the organisation started out rehoming elderly individuals living in cage homes; now it provides more than 700 beds to the elderly in six homes throughout Hong Kong. Three of them are residential care homes that look after those who can no longer take care of themselves, while the others are Housing for the Elderly, providing residential services with self-care facilities.

Tens of thousands of elderly people and their carers benefit from the organisation’s Holiday Centre retreat in Sai Kung, its Day Care Centre and its other support and outreach services, including hot meal delivery and the annual boccia competition.

The organisation has also established a 300-bed integrated home in Mainland China. Helping Hand receives funds through donations and campaigns from a number of companies, including HealthBank, Shang Sin Chun Tong, Hysan, Haitong International Securities, CLSA and Bloomberg.
