The Charities Trust
In 2010/11, the Charities Trust donated a record HK$1.62 billion to some 114 charities and community projects. The Trust's donations over the past decade have averaged well over HK$1 billion a year. Partnerships with charity groups and non-governmental organisations allow the Trust to reach further and wider into the community.
Besides supporting worthy causes and community projects through Trust donations, the Club always stands ready to meet emergency needs or fund special projects that can benefit Hong Kong.
The Club also has its own employee volunteer team, CARE@hkjc, who give up their spare time to participate and support community services and charities projects in Hong Kong and on the Mainland.
The Club serves six principal areas of civic and social needs in its contributions:
- Promoting a healthy living
- Lending a hand & volunteering
- Creating possibilities
- Developing sports, fun & games
- Cultivating arts & culture
- Preserving & creating jobs
