Street Sleeper Services to render assistances of short term residence and outreaching services for street sleepers in Hong Kong island; 3. Funeral Navigation Service to help the elderly/people in need (e.g. singleton elderly, elderly/people with weak support network, chronically ill patients) to formulate the funeral plan and carried out the afterlife arrangements when they passed away; and 4.Community-oriented Mutual Economy Programme - the pioneer community project in Wan Chai where people trade goods and services with each other by using a local currency (hours credit coupon) like a barter system to alleviate the poverty in the community during the economic downturn.
