Programmes Funded by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust


The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust is one of the world's top ten charity donors. Working with the Government, non-governmental organisations and community partners, the Trust proactively seeks out the root causes of social issues, bringing multiple and cross-sectoral parties together to address them through innovative approaches. While continuing to fund a wide range of projects, the Trust is placing special emphasis on four areas of strategic focus – "Youth", the "Elderly", "Sports", and "Arts, Culture and Heritage".

To address the challenges and opportunities arising from the ageing population, the Trust has taken a proactive role and is committed to building Hong Kong into an age-friendly city by initiating and supporting various projects. The Trust hopes to shift the perception of older people from being recipients to becoming active participants in society once again, so as to make the journey of ageing more fulfilling and colourful. The Trust also targets to promote the application of gerontechnology, with a view to improving the quality of life for the elderly and ageing in place.

In view of the epidemic situation, opening hours and activities arrangements of the centres may be adjusted, service users should contact the centres for enquiry before enrolment and attending the activities.
