Longevity Design House is a renovation and repair work social enterprise which specialises in catering for the needs of the elderly. Due to ageing population and limited housing space in Hong Kong, the social enterprise uses interior design to improve the living environment of the elderly and reduce the risk of home accidents, thereby creating elderly friendly homes.

Social enterprises must balance their business and social responsibilities. Our guest is Simon WONG, Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer of a food enterprise. In this episode, Simon enters homes of the elderly to learn how to help them improve their living environment in terms of furnishings, design and home accessories, so that they can live in a safe place.

A-Soulroom is a social enterprise that makes leather factory products, and all the products are handmade by the trainees. Compared with traditional sheltered workshops, the complicated leather production process there can enhance its trainees’ self-esteem. Christian Family Service Centre organises handicraft classes, with the trainees acting as instructors, which will not only boost their confidence, but also allow them to integrate into the society.

New generation actress Ashley LIN goes to a social enterprise workshop to experience making leather products, and she also serves as a team leader of a production line to further contact the trainees and understand their daily work.
