THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CHANGES RECENTLY IN THE SERVICES THAT THE SOCIAL WELFARE DEPARTMENT PROVIDES IN COMMUNITY CENTRES, THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF SOCIAL WELFARE, MR STEPHEN LAW, SAID TODAY (FRIDAY).

SPEAKING AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE SHENG KUNG HUT LADY MACLEHOSE CENTRE, HE SAID THAT INSTEAD OF DIRECTLY PROMOTING COMMUNITY WORK, EMPHASIS WAS BEING PLACED ON STRENGTHENING GROUP WORK.

THE INTENTION WAS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF FAMILY MEMBERS AND TO PROVIDE ACTIVITIES TO FOSTER THE LINKS BETWEEN THEM, THUS TURNING THE COMMUNITY CENTRE INTO A FAMILY ACTIVITIES CENTRE.
