CLP Volunteers Win the Champion Award of 2013-14 Best Corporate Volunteer Service Project

CLP Volunteer Team has won the Champion award in the General Corporate Group category of the "2013-14 Best Corporate Volunteer Service Project Competition" with its "Rewiring and Home Electricity Safety Service Programme" at the "2014 Corporate Volunteering Award Presentation Ceremony" today. In addition, the "CLP Green Volunteers for Seniors Programme" was also awarded an Outstanding award in the same category, recognising CLP volunteers' continued effort and contribution to the community.
Established by frontline staff in 1994, the CLP Volunteer Team has been serving the community for 20 years. The "Rewiring and Home Electricity Safety Service Programme" is its first large-scale programme for the volunteers to make use of their skills and power expertise to help the needy, especially the single or elderly couple living in public housing estates or remote villages. CLP volunteers help rewire obsolete wirings for these needy and repair their electrical appliances. During caring visits, our volunteers also share the proper use of electrical appliances and energy saving tips, helping the needy improve household electrical safety and save energy expenditure.
Over the years, CLP Volunteer Team has been active in providing a wide range of community services. Projects include installing flashlight doorbell for people with hearing impairment, delivering and installing refurbished electrical appliances for needy families, organising energy saving workshops and Chinese medical health advice sessions. CLP volunteers also provide English tuition lessons for new immigrants and children from low-income families. The team had only a dozen members when it was established. Today, its members total over 800 including current employees, retirees and their families and friends.
CLP Power Chief Corporate Development Officer Ms Quince Chong said, "CLP adheres to community commitment and follows the values of Kadoorie family of giving back and caring to the community, while our employees actively participate in volunteer service. The awarded
'Rewiring and Home Electricity Safety Service Programme' fully demonstrates how our
employees make use of power expertise and to serve the community at their own time."
The "CLP Green Volunteers for Seniors Programme" launched on the Senior Citizens Day last
year is another successful example. CLP volunteers installed LED light bulbs for 3,000
1
households of single and elderly couples to help them save energy and improve household safety.
Organised by Steering Committee on Promotion of Volunteer Service of Social Welfare Department since 2003, the "2013-14 Best Corporate Volunteer Service Project Competition" aims to encourage and motivate corporations to serve the needy in the community with their expertise through volunteering. It received 34 entries this year and a total of 10 awards were presented.
