What's New

The Agency held the " Wai Ji Joyful Aging Sports Day 2024" on 7 October 2024, with over 110 service users participating. The Joyful Aging Sports Day aims to provide elders with opportunities to enjoy the physical activity. The average age of participants at this event was over 50, with the oldest service user reaching 79. They still actively engaged in exercises and competitions with great enthusiasm.

Following the fruitful results of the last Wai Ji Joyful Aging Sports Day 2023, we again featured new sports and VR sports in which service users of different ages, disabilities, and physical impairments could participate. There were 6 activities on that day, including emerging sports like cornhole and boccia, along with 4 VR sports: fencing, javelin throw, and the new additions of football and cycling, allowing participants to experience the fun of sports through technology.

We would like to thank the sponsors from Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the volunteer's support by Trailsweeper and Senior Police Call – Yuen Long, and the support of Ms. Fung Shuk Man, District Social Welfare Officer (Sha Tin). Their contributions made the “Wai Ji Joyful Aging Sports Day 2024” a success, allowing our service users to enjoy sports and to build up a caring and inclusive community.
