According to the Government’s 2016 Population By-census, Kwai Tsing, Sham Shui Po and Kwun Tong are the districts facing the lowest median monthly income. In particular, Kwai Tsing has been one of the poorest districts in many years, with over 7,000 citizens living in sub-divided flats or rooftop squatter homes.

To help relieve this situation, the Club’s Charities Trust is providing the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Lady MacLehose Centre with funding to carry out the Jockey Club Sunshine Project – Community Support Service for Sub-divided Flat Residents in Kwai Tsing, as well as to set up a centre there with the aim of establishing a mutual support network and building resilience in the community.

The project provides tenancy consultancy and support services; a “community kitchen” for people in need of cooking facilities; and a Group Purchase Scheme enabling essential daily items to be bought in bulk, thus reducing residents’ daily expenses. The project is expected to benefit over 11,800 participants in three years.
