Our missionaries, who came here since 1960s, were touched by the great needs of these people and realized that there was an urgent need of medical and education service in society. The missionaries therefore established Stewards to provide the much needed medical and education service at the time to satisfy their needs and to serve the community. In line with the rapid changes in society, we have been responsive to the changing needs of society and started to diversify our services from medical and education to social services. Since 1980s, we have started youth service and operated children and youth centres. In recent years, we noticed that there was an increasing number of youths with psychosis and depressive disorder in Hong Kong. We have therefore launched a special service - “Youth Outlook” which aims to provide preventive and early intervention counselling service to the youths with mental health challenge and enables them to successfully continue their work and study. Stewards is the first NGO in Hong Kong which incorporates youth mental health service into ordinary children and youth centre setting, which facilitates the integration of youths with mental health challenge into the community. Apart from youth service, we have also been striving to enhance the quality of our rehabilitation and counselling service. In particular, Stewards started social enterprise business as early as 2002. In April 2015, we opened You Garden (Hung Hom) which was our first flower shop in social enterprise. We hope that this new unit could facilitate the mentally handicapped and mentally ill to re-integrate into the workforce and society, and enhance the public understanding of social enterprises and their role in promoting a harmonious society. In the fast-changing society like Hong Kong, Stewards has to continuously impose high expectations on itself in its effort to serve the community and to promote the love of GOD in its service. Last but not least, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our partners which have been offering us unfailing support. Stewards will uphold the spirit of persistence to serve the community. Pang Chau Sheung, Rosa Chairperson of the Council of Management 3 行政總裁報告 Chief Executive’s Report 行政總裁報告 過去一年,香港神託會繼續致力為香港社會提供優質而非 牟利的社會福利、教育及醫療服務,並宣揚基督福音。 在社會服務方面,由於政府增加對精神病人復康服務的資 助,香港神託會接受社會福利署整筆撥款津助因而增加了 8.8%,至港幣 66,298,169 元。截至 2015 年 3 月 31 日, 整筆撥款津貼儲備 ( 不包括公積金 ) 為港幣 15,084,645 元,屬受資助服務之全年營運開支 20.7% 的健康水 平。在過去一年,理事會考慮了整筆撥款津貼儲備水平 (2015/16 年度至 2019/20 年度 ) 的五年評估報告,以評 估受資助服務的中期財務狀況。此評估顯示,由於員工薪 酬成本上升較社署資助增加為快,中期而言,整筆撥款津 貼儲備水平將會逐步下跌。因此,在未來數年,機構須採 取員工成本控制措施以穩定財政狀況。 今年,本會致力執行社會福利署「最佳執行指引」的要求。社會福利署推出的「最佳執行 指引」鼓勵接受整筆撥款津助的非政府機構,透過改善財務管理、人力資源管理、機構管 治及問責三個範疇,不斷提升機構管治水平。雖然「最佳執行指引」只有第一組別屬必須 執行的項目,但香港神託會理事會決定執行第一組及第二組別的要求。本會亦已就第一組 及第二組的安排分別諮詢全體員工,並於 2015 年 7 月獲理事會通過有關建議。有關的「最 佳執行指引」文本已上載香港神託會網頁,而我們亦會按照指引內的程序執行。 在慈善籌款及服務擴展方面,2014/15 年度亦是豐盛的一年。2015 年 3 月舉行的賣旗籌 款及其他相關的籌募活動共籌得港幣 1,727,515 元,成績超越以往的籌款。我們亦獲社 會福利署批准撥款在將軍澳展開兩個新的服務據點,同時等候馬鞍山新服務地點的撥款 批准,我們將會在該兩區加強照顧患有精神病的服務使用者。有關服務會址的工程將於 明年展開,我們將可服務更多地區上有需要的人士。 在教育方面,香港神託會一直致力為學生提供全人發展,我們不只著重學生的學術表現, 更重視學生的屬靈及道德價值的發展。我們很感恩有一群對基督教教育充滿熱誠的教師 團隊,他們以基督的愛教育學生,引領他們成為有正確道德觀念、有能力、對社會有責 任的公民。在神的恩典裡,我們在公開考試及取錄學生方面均保持良好成績。在 2015 年 8 月 25 日,我們安排聯校教師發展日,讓屬下 6 間中學、小學及幼稚園的教師參與, 今年的主題為加強教師在屬靈方面的培養,及在雨傘運動後青年的培育工作。 在醫療服務方面,香港神託會繼續提供多元化的服務以回應社會上不同人士對醫療服務 的需要。平安醫療中心於 2014 年 6 月引入的中醫服務,亦錄得穩定的收入。在 2014 年 12 月,我們參加了醫管局公私營醫療合作計劃,讓我們可服務更多在綜合社會保障計劃 下的長期病患者。在牙科方面,接受綜合社會保障計劃的病人需求持續,我們因而聘請 了新牙醫以應付這需求。 感謝神的恩典,香港神託會今年在不同的困難及挑戰下不斷成長及發展。展望將來,我 們會繼續在耶穌基督的恩典裡,與同工及各個合作伙伴協力服務有需要的人。 劉應彬 行政總裁 4 行政總裁報告 Chief Executive’s Report Chief Executive’s Report In the year, Stewards continued to make strenuous efforts to fulfil its mission by providing quality non-profit making social welfare, educational and health care services for the benefit of the Hong Kong community and promoting evangelical Christian faith. On social welfare, the subvention under the Lump Sum Grant from Social Welfare Department (SWD) increased by 8.8% to $66,298,169 as a result of Government’s increased provision for the rehabilitation services for the mentally illed persons. As at 31 March 2015, the Lump Sum Grant reserve (excluding provident funds) stood at $15,084,645 which was equivalent to a healthy 20.7% of annual operating expenditure of subvented services. During the year, the Council of Management had considered a 5-year forecast of the Lump Sum Grant reserve (from 2015/16 to 2019/20) in order to assess the financial position of our subvented social services in the medium term. This assessment showed that, in the medium term, the Lump Sum Grant reserve will decline steadily due to the faster increase in staff cost than SWD subventions. There was thus a need to undertake staff cost control measures to maintain the healthy financial position of the organization in the next few years. In the year, significant progress was made on the implementation of the requirements in the Best Practice Manual issued by SWD, which is aimed to enhance the financial management, human resources management and corporate governance and accountability of NGOs. For Stewards, the Council had decided to comply with both Level 1 and Level 2 requirements in the BPM even though only Level 1 requirements are mandatory. After due consultation with staff on the proposals in both levels, the Council had endorsed the BPM at its meeting in July 2015. Since then, the management had published the BPM in Stewards’ public website and put in place appropriate steps and procedures for implementation of the requirements. 2014/15 was also a fruitful year in terms of fund raising and service expansion. We raised a total of $1,727,515 in March 2015 from the flag day and other related fund raising activities, which exceeded the amount raised from similar activities in the past. We had also secured the funding approval of SWD for two new sites in Tseung Kwan O and awaited funding for an additional site in Ma On Shan to cater for more service users with mental health challenge in these two districts. Renovation works should commence in next year which would enable us to serve more service users in need in the local community. On education, Stewards have been striving to promote the all-round development of our students, not only in pursuit of academic excellence but also in spiritual and moral development. We are grateful to have a group of devoted teachers who are firmly committed to the principle of Christian education, using the word of God as the basis to teach our students so that they can become a responsible citizen with strong moral self-concept and social competence. By God’s grace, we were able to maintain good results in public examinations and in enrollment of new students. On 25 August 2015, we organized a Joint School Staff Development Day in which all teaching staff of Stewards’ schools and kindergartens participated. The main objective of this year’s staff development day was to enhance the spiritual horizon of our teachers and the awareness of the challenges in nurturing the younger generation after the Umbrella Movement. On medical service, Stewards continued its vision to diversify its services to meet the medical needs of different group of people in the local community. In June 2014, the Peace Medical Centre added the Chinese medical service which had since recorded steady growth in turnover. In December 2014, we also joined the Hospital Authority’s General Outpatient Clinic Public-Private Partnership Programme, which enabled us to serve the chronic patients on CSSA in the community. On the dental side, the demand from CSSA patients remained keen and we had recruited a new dentist recently to help us meet this growing demand for dental service. Thanks to the grace of God, Stewards continued to grow and develop amid the difficulties and challenges in the year. Looking forward, we will continue to collaborate with all staff and partners to serve our clients in the love of God.

The last 90 years are brimming with excitement, turbulence and glory for us: We navigated uncharted waters in our early days on Kai Tack Bund, managed to weather storms and remain robust during the Japanese Occupation in 1930s – 40s, and we were, and still continue to be so, dynamic and resilient enough to scale new heights not only in Kowloon City, but also across the territory, and finally on a world scale: It is our mission to sharpen students’ global visions. In this brochure, you are going to find snapshots that represent the pride we take in the glorious Munsang history, and each celebratory event symbolises our determination to render our utmost to serve our students, our School, and the Hong Kong community. Each of the programmes, in pictures, speaks volumes about our resolve to keep Munsang shining as ever from 1926 onwards. We are custodians of the past, and architects of the future! 1 Contents Kick-off Ceremony ..................................................................................................................................

We humbly upheld our motto: “From Church, Through Church” over the years by supporting some of the poorest communities in Asia and Africa. It was clear that as we served others, we were often the ones being blessed. By serving the poor, we experienced first-hand God’s grace and amazing works. From our overseas partners, frontline workers, and local Christians, we learned what was the true meaning of dedication and faith. This Annual Report is filled with our partners’ living examples of their faith: we saw our untainted partner in Bangladesh who refused to play by unofficial rules; we saw how churches in Yunnan served their neighbours in need with dedication; we saw Ethiopian churches were determined to fight against harmful traditions for women; we saw our Myanmar partners walked with war-torn communities faithfully; we saw the perseverance shown by the believers in Nepal after the earthquake; and we saw our Zimbabwe partners’ worked persistently to help the drought-affected farmers.
