The Task Force appreciates every opportunity of learning through visiting social innovation projects and meeting their operators. The latest visit was to the New Life Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association which serves primarily people in recovery of mental illness by programmes facilitating re-integration into the society. In recent years the Association is extending its scope of services to promoting all-round physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Joining the Task Force and staff members of the Secretariat in the visit included representatives of the Intermediaries and the Home Affairs Bureau. The first stop was at the Association’s Head Office and sheltered workshop, followed by its social enterprise, Café 330 at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Our visitors gained first-hand experience of the Association’s operation model and how it helps its beneficiaries attain self-reliance and self-esteem.
