Through local help programmes, the South West CDC strives to provide holistic assistance to help the less fortunate in our community and support self-help. The CDC also organises projects and programmes to promote community bonding and social cohesion. The South West CDC adopts the "Many Helping Hands" approach to encourage community ownership among residents, community partners and corporations to realise its vision of "Owning Your Community”.

Together with dedicated partners and volunteers, the South West CDC has rolled out a series of bursaries to promote social mobility, as well as schemes and programmes to better address specific needs of their residents. With the support of charitable donations, the South West CDC hopes to strengthen the safety net and benefit more needy residents through their various help schemes.
