由香港復康會舉辦、Towngas 冠名贊助，以「全城‧文體旅」為主題的「無障行者——無障城市追擊『搜』」，於2026年3月8日取址中環愛丁堡廣場圓滿舉行。作為香港復康會的年度重點社區教育及籌款活動，活動透過城市定向體驗賽及嘉年華，呼籲大眾支持提升文體旅設施的無障礙配套，讓殘疾人士及長期病患者享有與健全人士相同的機會和權利，平等地使用文體旅設施和服務。活動吸引逾1,000位公眾及來自病人自助組織的參加者及義工出席，場面熱鬧。在社會各界鼎力支持下，活動為香港復康會籌得逾130萬元善款，用作支持香港復康會的復康及支援服務，讓更多殘疾人士及長期病患者享用優質復康服務，重投職場及社會，活出更豐盛的人生。

活動當日的啟動禮，由香港復康會會長郭鍵勳博士BBS JP致歡迎辭揭開序幕，隨後主禮嘉賓平等機會委員會主席林美秀女士SBS及活動冠名贊助——香港中華煤氣有限公司工商市務及營業總經理江紹權先生先後獲邀致辭。隨後，郭鍵勳博士致送感謝狀予各贊助機構及「愛心護航員」，並由香港復康會執行委員會委員兼籌募及社會企業委員會主席鄭振輝博士致送感謝狀予攤位贊助、禮品贊助及支持機構。

緊接舉行的「齊心『打』動全城文體旅」儀式，由一眾主禮嘉賓，包括郭鍵勳博士、鄭振輝博士、林美秀女士、江紹權先生、香港復康會副行政總裁鍾姬爾女士、香港復康會大使何宛淇女士BBS齊齊主持。司儀之後邀請香港立法會議員陳文宜女士等更多嘉賓加入拍攝合照，並與現場觀眾拍下人才濟濟的全場大合照。

開步禮的鳴槍儀式由郭鍵勳博士及林美秀女士一同主持，隨着一聲槍響，所有無障城市追擊「搜」城市定向體驗賽的參加隊伍正式出發。

活動當日的重要環節——無障城市追擊「搜」城市定向體驗賽分為「公開組」、「企業組」、「學校組」及「親子組」組別，共吸引124支隊伍參加，總參加人數約430人。參賽隊伍於限定時間內自行策劃路線，並尋找位於城中不同地區的任務點，完成一系列與通用設計和無障礙設計概念相關的任務以獲得分數，親身體驗殘疾人士的處境、發掘城市中傷健共融的元素、探索如何實踐讓他們平等參與文體旅活動的理念等。為加強體驗，隊員在前往任務點的旅途中需要輪流使用輪椅或助行器等行動輔助器材。

香港復康會會長郭鍵勳博士BBS JP表示：「香港復康會已連續第八年舉行『無障行者——無障城市追擊『搜』』，今年更有超過120支隊伍報名參加城市定向體驗賽，是歷屆之冠。今年活動特別以『全城‧文體旅』作為活動主題，希望所有參加隊伍親身體驗殘疾人士及長期病患者日常所面對的挑戰，從而啟發參加者以知識和技巧去減輕他們在生活中所遇到的困難，期望在不久的將來，健全人士、殘疾人士、長期病患者和長者等擁有不同能力的人士都可以平等地參與和體驗各種文化、體育和旅遊活動。衷心感謝今天所有贊助機構、支持機構、擔任『愛心護航員』的消防義工、病人互助組織、義工、同事、傳媒機構以及所有參加者的熱心參與及支持，讓活動得以順利舉行。」

平等機會委員會主席林美秀女士SBS表示：「『無障行者——無障城市追擊『搜』』除了為不同界別的企業及機構提供建立團隊精神的平台外，亦是一項充滿意義的社會教育體驗活動。今年的『全城‧文體旅』主題具有特別意義，近年香港舉辦許多國際盛事，如果在策劃時能夠為照顧不同人士的需要作出特別調適安排，不但可提升整體市民的幸福感，更可向國際社會展示香港是一個公平、溫暖共融及充滿人情味的城市。平機會近年積極推廣通用設計概念，與香港復康會並肩同行，移除城市中的障礙，並會在今年舉辦第二屆『通用設計嘉許計劃』，鼓勵不同企業提供符合通用設計的設施。展望未來，我們將繼續與香港復康會攜手建構暢通無障礙的城市。」

香港中華煤氣有限公司工商市務及營業總經理江紹權先生表示：「Towngas十分榮幸能夠成為冠名贊助，更有20位同事組隊參加無障城市追擊『搜』城市定向體驗賽，以實際行動支持。我們致力建立和諧共融的社區，除了善用專業及創新技術，提供更能照顧殘疾人士需要的優質服務外，更積極推動多元共融職場文化，包括聘請殘疾同事、在辦公場所設置傷健友善設施，並透過舉辦共融職場體驗活動，促進同事互相理解和包容，支持殘疾人士重投社會。展望未來，我們將繼續肩負企業社會責任，與香港復康會及各界合作，持續實踐共融，共創平等、和諧的社會。」

為帶出傷健共融的訊息，當日大會特別安排由長期病患者及殘疾人士組成的表演團體呈獻輪椅武術及手語舞等精采演出，並由導師示範手指操、大笑瑜伽等適合殘疾人士的健體運動，與眾同樂。此外，同場舉行的嘉年華更設置多個由病人自助組織主持的遊戲攤位、展覽及慈善義賣攤位，讓公眾人士免費參與，在玩樂中了解傷健共融理念。

Organised by The Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation (HKSR), and title-sponsored by The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited (Towngas), the “Towngas Presents: Barrier Busters – Barrier-free City Explorer” concluded on 8 March at Edinburgh Place, Central with overwhelming support from the community. This year’s event, themed “Culture, Sports and Tourism for ALL”, attracted more than 1,000 participants and volunteers from the public and patient self-help groups. The annual educational and fundraising initiative combined a spirited city-orienteering challenge with a lively carnival, advocating for barrier-free facilities and inclusion across Hong Kong’s cultural, sports, and tourism landscapes. The event successfully raised over HK$1.3 million, which will go towards supporting HKSR’s comprehensive rehabilitation and health management services – empowering persons with disabilities and chronic illnesses to live fulfilling and dignified lives.

The opening ceremony commenced with welcome remarks from Dr. Joseph Kwok, BBS, JP, President of HKSR, followed by speeches from Ms Linda Lam, SBS, Chairperson of the Equal Opportunities Commission, and Mr. Sammy Kong, General Manager – Commercial & Industrial Marketing & Sales of Towngas. A presentation ceremony then honoured sponsors and partners for their generous contributions. Dr. Joseph Kwok presented certificates of appreciation to sponsors and escort guards, and Dr. Steve Cheng, member of the Executive Committee and the chairperson of the Fundraising and Social Enterprise Committee of HKSR, presented certificates of appreciation to booth sponsors, gift sponsors and supporting organisations.

The kick-off ceremony was officiated by Dr. Joseph Kwok, Dr. Steve Cheng, Ms Linda Lam, Mr. Sammy Kong, Ms Carrie Chung, Deputy CEO of HKSR, and Ms Ho Yuen Kei, BBS, HKSR Ambassador. Distinguished guests, including Hon Grace Chan, Legislative Councillor, also joined the group photo capturing the lively spirit of the day.

The event officially began with the sounding of the starting horn by Dr. Joseph Kwok and Ms Linda Lam, launching the much-anticipated orienteering challenge.

The Barrier-free City Explorer City-orienteering Challenge reached a new milestone this year, drawing 124 teams that comprised around 430 participants, the highest number since its inception. Participants competed under four categories – Public, Corporate, School, and Parent-child Teams – navigating checkpoints across different districts within a set time limit. Along their route, participants completed interactive tasks focusing on universal and barrier-free design concepts, while taking turns to experience mobility aids such as wheelchairs and walking frames when they were traveling to different checkpoints. Through this immersive format, participants developed a deeper understanding of the everyday challenges faced by persons with disabilities and chronic illnesses, while fostered empathy and awareness toward creating an inclusive, accessible city for all.

Dr. Joseph Kwok, BBS, JP, President of HKSR, remarked, “This year marks the eighth edition of ‘Barrier Busters – Barrier-free City Explorer’, and we are delighted to see record-breaking participation, with more than 120 teams participating in the orienteering challenge. Under the theme ‘Culture, Sports and Tourism for ALL’, the event offers valuable opportunities for participants to understand and experience the challenges faced by persons with disabilities and chronic illnesses, inspiring greater inclusion in our community. We envision a future where everyone – regardless of physical ability or health condition – can enjoy equal access to Hong Kong’s rich cultural, sports, and tourism experiences. I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to all sponsors, supporting organisations, the volunteer team from Fire Services Department who took up the role of escort guards, patient self-help groups, volunteers, colleagues, media friends, and participants for coming together to make this event a great success.”

Ms Linda Lam, SBS, Chairperson of the Equal Opportunities Commission, remarked, “‘Barrier Busters – Barrier-free City Explorer’ not only provides an excellent platform for companies and organisations to build team spirit, but also serves as a meaningful social education experience. This year’s theme – ‘Culture, Sports and Tourism for ALL’ – carries particular significance. As Hong Kong has hosted many international mega events in recent years, it is important to incorporate accessibility into event planning to meet the needs of different people. In addition to improving the overall well-being of our citizens, this also demonstrates to the world that Hong Kong is a fair, inclusive, and compassionate city. Sharing the same values as HKSR in enhancing accessibility across the city, the Equal Opportunities Commission has been actively promoting the concept of universal design. We will launch the second ‘Universal Design Award Scheme’ this year, encouraging companies to provide facilities that embody universal design principles. Looking ahead, we will continue to work with HKSR to build a truly barrier-free city.”

Mr. Sammy Kong, General Manager – Commercial & Industrial Marketing & Sales of The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited (Towngas) shared that the company was honoured to serve as the title sponsor of the “Barrier Busters – Barrier-free City Explorer” event and said, “Towngas is proud to be part of this meaningful initiative, with 20 of our colleagues joining the City-orienteering Challenge. Reflecting our long-standing commitment to fostering an inclusive society, we continuously strive to provide high-quality, accessible services that meet the needs of persons with disabilities, leveraging our professional expertise and innovative technologies. To help empower persons with disabilities to reintegrate into society, Towngas has also built a diverse and inclusive workplace – by hiring colleagues with disabilities, installing barrier-free facilities across our offices, and organising activities that promote mutual understanding among employees. Moving forward, we will continue to uphold our corporate social responsibility in collaboration with HKSR and the wider community, advancing inclusiveness and equality throughout society.”

Adding to the day’s warm, inclusive atmosphere, performing groups formed by persons with disabilities and chronic illnesses delivered inspiring shows, including wheelchair martial arts demonstrations and sign language dance performances. The programme also featured interactive exercise demonstrations, such as finger exercises and laughter yoga, tailored for people of all abilities. At the bustling carnival, various game, exhibition, and charity sales booths hosted by patient self-help groups opened to the public for free. Through these engaging activities, the event promoted care, respect, and empathy – highlighting the shared goal of building a truly inclusive Hong Kong community.
