The year-long LOVE's TEAM programme demonstrated the power of community cohesion through mutual support.

LOVE'S TEAM, a Swire Properties corporate volunteering initiative, has won the coveted Outstanding Partnership Project Award at the Hong Kong Council of Social Services' Caring Company Partnership Expo 2018.

The year-long LOVE'S TEAM programme was launched in 2016 to mark the 15th anniversary of Swire Properties' staff volunteering scheme, the Community Ambassadors Programme. A first-of-its-kind, cross-sector community engagement initiative, LOVE'S TEAM was spearheaded by Swire Properties Community Ambassadors in cooperation with 15 long-term NGO partners, representing a broad range of social groups – including ethnic minorities, women's and youth groups, the elderly, and those with special needs. In October 2016, LOVE'S TEAM culminated in a threeday community showcase at ArtisTree, Swire Properties' home for artistic and cultural activities in Taikoo Place. The event featured charity stalls, experiential workshops and inclusion-themed performances and over 2,000 volunteers helped raise close to HK$900,000, including matching from the Swire Trust; all funds were donated to the 15 partner organisations.
