dementia among the elderly and arrange timely follow-up. Members of the Xinyi
Group volunteer team actively responded to this activity by joining hands with
the professional team of the Hong Kong Christian Service to conduct cognitive
screening and assessment for the elderly in Choi Fook Estate, Kowloon Bay.
Through this activity, the volunteers demonstrated their care for the elderly
and their concern for social issues.

them feel the care of society. As a global company, Xinyi Group has the
