Triple successes were recently scored by our strategic partner Happy Ageing Lab Foundation (“HAL”) in both local and national competitions.
On 1 August 2025, HAL was awarded as the Champion – Golden Age Marketing Strategy Award (SME) (Organization), having beaten numerous peer organizations serving the elderly in Hong Kong. Its Founder Professor Mo Kar Him was also honored as the Champion – Age Friendly Community (Individual). What a great recognition to HAL Team’s and its partners’ long-time efforts in driving mindset and practice changes in the building industry to make our city more age-friendly, inclusive and liveable!
Moreover, on the same day, HAL’s project “Hou2 Living Gallery”, at Shatin City One, has also been shortlisted as one of the final five entries to compete for the Community Making Award in the 3rd City for Humanity Awards 2025 of China. It is the only entry representing Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in this final round of the national competition. The results will be coming before November 2025. Fingers crossed.
