    Abstract

    One of the major annual events organized by the Hong Kong Christian Service (HKCS) is the Athletic Gala for the Elderly. The impressive results and statistics of this Gala over the last decade are indicative of the close relationship between old age and physical exercise. Through working with HKCS' Elderly Service, the author had the opportunities to experience the pleasures and pains of Hong Kong's elderly service workers. This article is an attempt to reveal challenges faced by different elderly services in Hong Kong and difficulties encountered in staging the annual Athletic Gala.

    香港基督教服務處每年其中的一個重頭戲是全港老人運動會;十餘年來此運動會的標榜成績,足以反映出高齡與體能運動的密切關係。透過幾年來與香港基督教服務處老人服務的合作,筆者有機會體會到老人服務工作者的苦與樂。藉著跟三位處於不同服務單位的人員之面談,本文嘗試探討香港老人服務及籌辦老人運動會時面對的種種挑戰。
