Direction Association for the Handicapped

Introduction

The first registered association which primarily serves the severely physically handicapped. In 1986, the founder met a group of severely physically disabled patients who had no family members and friends to visit them. The society’s ignorance of their needs invoked their self- pity. They came together to form “Direction Volunteer Service for the Handicapped” to strive for their own welfare, resources and opportunities. In 1991, The Volunteer Service was officially registered under the Society Ordinance as a non-profit-marking association and became a member agency of the Hong Kong Community chest in 1994. In 1995, it changed its name into ”Direction Association for the Handicapped” . Since April 1st 2006, the Association operates as a limited company by guarantee under the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
