Barrier Busters 2021

Inviting sponsors from corporates, charities, schools and general public!

“Barrier Busters” is the annual signature event for community education and fundraising of the Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation(HKSR). We aim to promote our meaningful cause of building a caring and inclusive community through this very unique event in Hong Kong .

Approximately 1 in every 3 persons in Hong Kong has some form of disability or is a chronic patient. The increasing demand for our services is obvious, particularly in a time with a growing ageing population. HKSR is committed to helping persons with disabilities and chronic illnesses to re-integrate into society and lead a fulfilling life. Your kind support means a lot to us as it will change the lives of many and allow us to pursue sustainable services.

Event Format

The event will mobilise and engage corporates, schools, families and the general public to form teams of five for a city-orienteering programme to experience the daily challenges of persons with disabilities in different districts in Hong Kong. The participants can experience for themselves how difficult daily life can be if they can’t see, hear or speak, or if they have limited or no use of their arms or legs.

Let’s get together on the event day to break physical, psychological and social barriers and create an inclusive society!

What is “Barrier Free”?

There are two major aspects to a Barrier-Free “society:

Physical: barrier-free access to facilities and transport, and an environment that accommodates people with special conditions, such as persons with physical disabilities, elderly people and pregnant women.

Psychological: social acceptance and understanding of the rights of persons with disabilities and treating them the same as everyone else.

Values related to a Barrier-Free” society: Acceptance, Equality, Respect, Inclusiveness.

Rationale for a “Barrier Busters” event

HKSR is a government-recognized charitable organization, established in 1959. We advocate an inclusive society through barrier-free transport and travel, long-term care and holistic rehabilitation services for persons with disabilities or chronic illnesses.

The purpose of the Barrier Busters event is to enhance public awareness and understanding of the needs of persons with disabilities or chronic illnesses, and to invite the public to experience and take the AdverntureParkHK challenge.

Let’s join hands to break physical, psychological and social barriers and create an inclusive society!
