South Kwai Chung Social Service has been a charitable institution since its establishment in October 1987 and a member institution of the Hong Kong Council of Social Service and also the Community Chest for more than two decades. As what our mission says, “We serve with love from our hearts”, we are committed to serving the grassroots especially those who are in need and live in the Kwai Tsing District, regardless of their religions, sex, age and ethnicity. We are also dedicated ourselves to promoting physical and mental health and raising the overall quality of life in the community through a wide range of activities in our centres, including Cheers.

Cheers, one of the six centres under South Kwai Chung Social Service, was established in August 2010 whereas Cheers established its Speech Therapy Centre in June 2014 and aims at providing different types of services to improve their health and raise their quality of life. The services include speech therapy, health measurement and rehabilitation training. At the same time, a specialty store for the elderly was also established to provide rental services of rehabilitation equipment to elderly in need, as well as selling nutritional supplements.

Products and Services

Cheers provides services such as speech therapy, health measurement and rehabilitation training. At the same time, a specialty store for the elderly was also established to provide rental services of rehabilitation equipment to elderly in need, as well as selling nutritional supplements. Speech therapy services in Cheers mainly target children and adults who suffer from communication and swallowing disorders. They are delivered by the speech therapists in the form of professional and comprehensive assessment and intervention. We hope that the speech therapy, on the one hand, improves their oral motor function, boosts their self-confidence and helps them enhance their communication and social skills, on the other hand, equips care givers with the necessary knowledge and skills. Under this circumstance, not only patients with communication and swallowing disorders become healthier, but also it helps deepen their family members ’understanding of the situation. Let us add Cheers to their life! The "Cheers" Elderly Specialty Store specializes in providing rental services of rehabilitation equipment for elderly individuals in need, as well as selling nutritional supplements. We hope to offer services for the elderly who are willing to reach out the community and improve their quality of life in their twilight years.
