The office of Hong Kong charity Love 21 Foundation in San Po Kong is not your typical workplace set-up. Its two floors have a big exercise hall, a smaller fitness training room and plenty of gym equipment.

It is a favourite hang-out spot for Nathan Leung Hiu-fung, a 26-year-old with Down’s syndrome.

“The sports I do here are some muscle training, regular weekly dance sessions on the second floor and personal training on the 11th floor here, and other things to keep up the exercise habit, which I enjoy deeply,” Leung said.
