Caring Magic Scheme (CMS)
The first issue of “Caring Magic Scheme” was launched by the group at the end of 2010. It encourages more companies and social welfare organizations to become “Caring Magic Partner” and nominating members to become “Caring Magic Ambassadors”. Through Caring Magic’s training to serve people who are in need and bring more love and care. We have 40 caring partners and ambassadors, including children, teenagers, elders, corporate employees, etc, aiming to make the plan more universal.
In 2013, the chairman of the board, Mr. Wilson, established and sponsored the “Caring Magic Charity Fund”. In 2014, we concentrated on sponsoring universities in Hong Kong and Zhuhai and in one year, we trained more than 100 “Caring Magic Ambassadors” who are enthusiastic about volunteer service to help bringing love and care to Hong Kong through “Caring Magic” all over the world, including domestic and overseas. At the end of 2014, in order to encourage more citizens to volunteer and participate, the group reorganized the volunteer training framework by introducing the hourly awards to encourage volunteer leaders to participate. As the awareness of “Caring Magic” increases in the community, the group launched a new “Caring Magic Scheme”.
