Volunteer Services Project – Home Visiting to People with Disabilities for Smart Home Devices Installation


Introduction of Service Project
While talking about improving the world through engineering, it is no doubt that we mechanical engineers are making contribution every day in our working positions. However, have you ever thought of contributing our expertise in a non-working position? Here is an opportunity for you!

Our Community Service Group (CSG) of IMechE HKB is now launching a new service project with 1st Step Association. The service project consists of 2 sessions (one session per month), scheduled to be held on 30 Jul and 13 Aug 2022 (Saturdays).

Social worker of 1st Step Association will provide training to participants in the 1st Session. Participants will gain knowledge and experience in social services for disabled people/ wheelchair users.

In the 2nd Session, volunteers will visit the home of disabled people, targeting to conduct survey to record the needs in their daily life at home, and help to install the Smart Home Device (eg remote control light bulb, on/off switch, motion sensing lamp, etc). Gift and other daily resources will also be delivered by volunteers to share the care and love to the disable people.

(ps Participants are recommended to join both sessions to get knowledge and experience in serving the disable people.)
