Hong Kong Cancer Fund has been offered a unique opportunity by a generous supporter of a 7,300 sq.ft space in a converted industrial building in Kwai Chung at a subsidized rent. This will allow us to complete our support network with a CancerLink centre.
With the new CancerLink centre in Kwai Chung, we are able to expand our support network to reach a much neglected and underprivileged area in Hong Kong that has increasingly growing demand on cancer support services.
Renovation work of the CancerLink support centre in Kwai Chung continues in progress, target completion date is revised to end of Oct 2016.
- Obtained landlord’s approval on the floor design and commencement of fit out works in mid-April 2016.
- Fit out works started on 7th May 2016 with revised target completion of December 2016.
- Staff recruitment started in June 2016.
