The Social Welfare Department today has invited the local catering sector, as well as retail and other merchants, to offer special discounts and concessions for the elderly on Senior Citizens Day, which will be held on November 16.

Over 400 organisations and merchants, together having more than 3,800 outlets, will participate in the programme by offering discounts or other concessions to Senior Citizen Card holders for purchases made that day.

Participating companies will display a publicity poster. Meanwhile, details of participating companies and special offers are available via the Senior Citizen Card Scheme mobile app and the department's website.
