Charities & Community

WANT TO MAKE A LASTING IMPACT?

Our Charities and Community (C&C) Division supports the work of the Club’s Charities Trust.

The driven and dynamic nature of the team has been vital in helping us become one of the world’s leading charity donors.

The Trust has an extraordinary impact on all facets of life in Hong Kong. In 2023/24, the total approved donations were HK$10.2 billion, benefiting 173 charitable and community projects. As well as organising its own initiatives, the Trust works with community partners to maximise its social impact.

WHERE YOU COULD WORK

We pride ourselves on anticipating community and social needs. We support a wide range of projects, with a particular focus on six strategic areas. Our work is concentrated on:

POSITIVE AGEING AND ELDERLY CARE

We help older people age with dignity and respect. We focus on elderly people who have become disengaged from the community, or who are struggling financially. We work to improve care and residential services and to help older people rediscover a sense of belonging. At the same time, we look to improve the well-being of caregivers.

DEVELOPING YOUNG PEOPLE AND ALLEVIATING POVERTY

We help young people make a difference in society. We create new opportunities for them to thrive in a tech-enabled world. Helping them become socially mobile is the aim. We work to improve prospects and help families break the cycle of poverty.

BUILDING A HEALTHIER COMMUNITY

We are working to create a healthier community for all. We help people access better healthcare. Our particular focus is on primary care, palliative care, end-of-life care, and mental health and well-being.

PROMOTING TALENT & SECTOR EXCELLENCE

We help people from diverse backgrounds to achieve their potential. At the same time, we support the not-for-profit sector to realise its potential. This involves bringing people together to share their experience, learn new skills and maximise their community impact.

ADVANCING SPORTS & CULTURE

We’re helping to build an inclusive, creative and vibrant Hong Kong. This means improving everyone's quality of life through sports and the arts. We want to make it easier for everyone to enjoy the benefits of an active lifestyle and the pleasure of cultural experiences.

ENABLING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

We enable sustainable development in Hong Kong and help the community to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Our support includes working with the not-for-profit sector to reduce their carbon emissions and minimise their environmental impact. Our programmes also help to improve community waste management, conserve biodiversity, and educate people about the value of environmental and ecosystem protection to build a climate-resilient society.
