Successful applications will be informed by October.
The list of successful applicants being allocated with flag days in 1996 will also be announced in the media, so that the public will be aware of who these welfare organisations are.

Members of the public who suspect that they have been approached by bogus persons or charitable agencies for funds are advised to report to the Police, so that due enquiries can be conducted.
