In the late 1960s and early 1970s Father Enea Tapella, an Italian missioner, organized volunteers to arrange home visits, social and religious gatherings and summer camps for the handicapped. Those who shared his vision later founded "The Society of Homes for the Handicapped" to expand those activities.

The Society was incorporated in Hong Kong in May 1978 as a company limited by guarantee. The Society changed its name to Fu Hong Society with effect from 3 January 2001. "Fu Hong" in Chinese means "Support for wholesomeness ", for this said purpose. The principal activity of the Society is to provide services to people with mental and physical handicap and other disabilities.
