Full of Heart
Full of Heart
Design, produce and provide clothing that addresses the special needs of elderly
Elderly people will sometimes fall into embarrassing situations because of hygienic issues. Making use of fabrics with special features such as antibacterial, deodorising, temperature regulation and moisturising, Full of Heart will put on the market a host of functional garment products targeted at addressing the specific needs of the elderly.
Young designers and experienced craftsmen are recruited to take part in the production to ensure quality. A team of volunteers will visit the elderly to deliver the products and to understand the needs of the elderly on clothing.
It is expected that with the help of functional clothing, elderly people will feel more at ease in social life, and thus be encouraged to expand their social circle. In the long run, it will also bring a saving in government expenditure on elderly mental health care.
