Jointly organised with the Evangelical Lutheran Church Hong Kong, summer placement of Fortress Mentorship Programme was successfully held. Sixteen students from Assembly of God Hebron Secondary School went to six Fortress stores for a week of work placement, gaining experience in real-life workplace. Such experience has helped boost their self-confidence and familiarise them with the operation of retail sector.
To provide support for the elderly living in remote and rural areas, AS Watson Group’s volunteer team joined forces with Hong Kong Young Women’s Christian Association to run the Network Village Network Love programme. Over the course of three months, volunteers from Fortress Pro-Team and PARKnSHOP Hong Kong partnered with dietitians and pharmacists from Watsons Hong Kong to serve over 250 elders. A host of activities were held, including workshops on how to use a smartphone, supermarket tours, health talks, check-ups and consultations, as well as home visits.
