Establishment

The FSD Volunteer Team was established in 2002. Up to now, the Team has over 450 members, including uniformed and civilian staff from various units of the Department. They are praiseworthy for sparing their precious time after work for serving the community, no matter how busy they are. All volunteers have all along been actively taking part in social affairs, giving joy, warmth and hope to many needy people in the community, which has earned the FSD an enviable reputation.

Contributions

The Volunteer Team of the Department has, through local voluntary organizations, participated in various kinds of activities, such as:

• to assist the disabled in selling goods for charity during the Buddha's Birthday Carnival at Victoria Park in May last year;
• to assist Harmony House in organizing parent-child swimming events for single-parent families;
• to assist Windshield Charitable Foundation in sorting out 5,000 woolen sweaters for relieving the victims of Huai He;
• to weave 68 scarves for solitary elderly people from August to November.
  

The duties of the FSD Volunteer Team also include visiting young people at risk during the night, selling flags for charity organizations, helping single-parent families move their furniture, etc. In October last year, the Team sent thirty-odd members to assist Hong Chi Pinehill Advanced Training Centre in weeding abrupt slopes, and in December, 82 volunteers were sent to assist Hong Kong Council of Social Service in organizing International Day of Disabled Persons 2003 held at Golden Bauhinia Plaza, Wanchai. Up to now, we have completed over 6,796 hours of volunteer work. In the year of 2004, we have completed 4,745 hours of volunteer work
