Event Highlights

"Healthy Family - Creating Happiness Record"

The Society’s "Healthy Family - Creating Happiness Record" event has successfully concluded on 3 November. We were delighted to challenge the Guinness World Records by assembling over a thousand resistance bands to form the Chinese character of "Family" by the participating families. HKFWS is officially the new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title holder for the "Largest Resistance Band Word"!

We were honored to have Ms. Charmaine Lee, JP, Director of Social Welfare Department and Dr. the Honourable, Tik Chi-Yeun, SBS, JP, to serve as the guests of honour, to jointly preside over the opening ceremony with other distinguished guests.

The event also featured new and developing sports experiences, booth games, parent-child workshops, and bouncy castle. We hope that families will prioritize their physical and mental wellbeing amidst their busy lives, and to promote "Family Health" which is one of the six domains from the Hong Kong Family Wellbeing Index of the Hong Kong Family Welfare Society.

The successful execution of this event was made possible by our supporting organisations, performing groups and the participation of families and public. It is our aspiration that our attendees will relish valuable family moments during this occasion and maintain a steadfast focus on family health in the days ahead.
