About Us 簡介
We are a registered non-profit charitable institution incorporated based in Hong Kong, offering custom-made adaptive clothing, training and professional advice to charity organisations and hospitals with an aim to serve the elderly and disabled. Also, through organising workshops, we provide a platform to bring together everyone including the elderly and disabled to express their love for their loved ones through the design of fashion.
Since our operation founding in 2006, we have been determined to make an impact. The core of our efforts is to bring our team’s fresh ideas and passion to the range of activities we’re involved in. Through all of our endeavors we hope to display the conviction behind our beliefs.
我們為社區、慈善團體及各院舍提供定制服裝、培訓和專業建議,旨在為老年和殘疾人士服務。通過工作坊,我們提供了一個平台,讓所有人包括老年人和殘疾人在內都能聚首一堂,通過時尚設計表達對親人的愛。
自2006年開始,我們一直致力為社區、慈善團體及各院舍服務。我們努力的核心是將創新想法和為社會貢獻的精神帶入活動中。透過協會及所有參與人士之所有努力,我們希望可以實現協會背後的信念。
"Here at Care Apparel Association, we understand that sometimes all it takes to change the world is a little support. As members of society, we must focus more of our energy on the elderlies and people with disabilities or illnesses in the Community. "
"在康健服裝協會,我們明白要改變世界有時候只需要自己先出一點綿力。作為社會一份子,我們要集中更多我們的力量於社區中的老年人和殘疾人。"
