The Steering Committee on Volunteer
Movement organised a series of promotional and publicity programmes to
promote volunteerism targeted at students and youth, corporations and
community organisations. The Campaign Evergreen, one of the major initiatives
of the Volunteer Movement, was launched in July with the aim of promoting
mutual care and support among people through cross-sector collaboration.
It called for volunteer action from all quarters to show concern for
people facing difficulties and thus help them regain their strength of
purpose to face life's challenges and deal with their difficulties. At
year-end, 919 organisations and 351 422 individuals had registered to
participate in volunteer service.
