The author looks at whether the social work profession is becoming marginalized by other mainstream sectors, as it fails to get involved in new and alternative solutions to deal with challenges of welfare and economic transformation. Traces the changing concept of social welfare, welfare state and social work. Argues that the modern definition of social work and its core purposes have distinguished social work from the narrow conception of social welfare. Presents the pilot experiences of the Community Investment and Inclusion Fund of the Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The Fund aims to build social capital and community levels by providing direct grants to collaborative projects of NGOs and the private sector, as well as government subvented NGOs willing to transform themselves to adopt the social capital building approach. These experiences illustrate that social workers have to adopt a model shift to equip themselves with broad helping perspectives and multi-skills in order to become effective social capital builders and avail themselves as partners of all sectors of society in dealing with the challenges of modern times.
