They are dedicated to filling the gaps in the service spectrum for dementia patients, so as to improve their quality of life. With the goal of supporting Alzheimer's and dementia patients and their families, the Foundation also seeks cooperation with organisations to enhance resource allocation and education.
The Foundation will collaborate with the Christian Family Service Centre – Mind Delight Memory and Cognitive Training Centre - to offer financial support on cognitive training and daycare service. Dementia-specific services in Hong Kong are limited, depriving many dementia patients and their caregivers of adequate support. This programme turns OSC funds into sharing sessions, which provide tips on caregiving. It also provides early intervention for people with dementia to maintain cognitive function. To provide holistic support, the Foundation will also work towards releasing the stress of the caregivers and alleviate their financial burden.

[Caring for the ageing population] Hong Kong is known to have a growing ageing population. Some lack self-care and the ability to look after themselves and their spouses. Many become socially inactive and unready for end-of-life arrangements, adding to the problem of emotional stress for the elderly. ChickenSoup Foundation has recognised the need to extend their service to the older generation.
Project Super Senior, funded by OSC, aims to address two layers of needs: (i) the challenges of solitary elders and elderly couples and (ii) the service gap stemming from insufficient attention and ineffective social welfare services. The Project mitigates the most burning needs of elderly families living in poor conditions and cultivates self-managing habits. It will also provide proactive services and hand-holding experiences by directly engaging corporate volunteers.
