Banyan Services Association Introduction

榕光社前身為榕光社老人服務團,在1988年創立,由一班義工早在1989年自發團結起來為當時在慈雲山屋邨重建受影響的無依無靠獨居長者提供多項服務,在長者間建立友誼和守望相助的精神。榕光社往後繼續全心全意向全港的獨居無依長者提供多元化服務,至今已三十八載。

「榕光」引喻自農耕後,坐在「榕」樹下納涼交談。「光」照射穿透榕樹,温暖灑落每個人的心。寄意每位在「榕光社」的長者,皆在温暖和關愛中生活。

榕光社之恆常服務,包括免費夕陽之友殯葬服務、免費派飯惠膳服務、中醫贈醫施藥、中醫癌症義診、免費長者護牙服務、護老之家院舍服務及於2024年開始的18區流動中醫贈醫施藥服務。

Come in Happiness, Live with Dignity, Go in Peace

People-oriented

Recognizing that every elderly person is an independent individual with his/her own background and capability, we must respect their rights and needs.

Live with Dignity

Elderly people will not be neglected or given up just because they are lonely, or because they are scavenging, or because they have degenerative brains, or because they are disabled, etc. They live with dignity like ordinary people;

Go in Peace

Everyone faces "sadness, joy, separation, unity" and "happiness, anger, sadness and joy" in his or her life. When life comes to an end, he or she still hopes to die without any worries;

Caring with Love

To treat the elderly as family members and friends, and to take full care of their health and physical, mental and spiritual needs;

Honesty

We will use every penny we receive from our benefactors in the best possible way, and we will be open and honest about how we use the money.
