Introduction
Inspired by the spirit of Father Enea Tapella, PIME who had offered his caring and selfless contribution to the underprivileged, Fu Hong Society was established. Driven by the love of Father Tapella which has crossed the boundaries of ethnic groups, culture, religion and intelligence, a group of enthusiastic people holding on to his unfulfilled wish have founded the Society serving the puniest group of the community.
The Society has started providing rehabilitation services since 1977. It was incorporated under the ‘Hong Kong Companies Ordinance’ as a company limited by guarantee the following year and has become a member of the Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS) in 1980. Currently, the Society has operated over 40 service units providing services for about 3,600 persons with disabilities annually. Among them there are persons with intellectual disabilities, persons with autism spectrum disorders, persons with psychiatric disabilities, persons with physical disabilities, etc.
For all these years, the Society has upheld its service spirit ‘Meet the Need, Take the Lead’ and has strived to make innovative efforts in meeting the changing needs of persons with disabilities, enabling them to develop their abilities and to be fully integrated with the community. Core services provided by the Society include: residential services, day training services, vocational rehabilitation and development services, community psychiatric services, services for persons with autism spectrum disorders and developmental disabilities, and community support services for persons with disabilities. In addition, the Society puts emphasis on the promotion of social inclusion. In 2004, the Society was invited by the headquarters of ‘Best Buddies International’ in the U.S. and was authorised to be the sole organisation for setting up the ‘Best Buddies’ movement in Hong Kong. Hundreds of ‘Best Buddies’ have been paired up every year, making one-to-one friendship between members of the community and persons with disabilities possible.
Aim
To provide opportunities for persons with disabilities, to develop their abilities and to ensure that they achieve the greatest independence possible within their circumstances, as fully integrated members of the community.To advocate equal rights of persons with disabilities through education, policy and legislative changes.
