Li Po Chun United World College and the United World Colleges Hong Kong National Committee are grateful to the funding support of The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust to provide educational opportunities for young people in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club, founded in 1884 to organise all horse-racing activities in Hong Kong, has been donating its surplus funds to community and charitable projects since 1915. The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust was established to oversee the distribution of the Jockey Club’s separate funds for charities.

The Trust works in partnership with Government and non-profit-making agencies to improve the quality of life of the Hong Kong people and to provide timely support to those in need through donations in four main areas. These are medical and health, community services, education and training, and sports, recreation and culture. In addition, the Trust explores and develops projects to meet the needs of the community.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust has rendered generous financial support to Li Po Chun United World College and the Hong Kong National Committee to enable over 450 Young Hong Kong men and women to attend United World Colleges in Hong Kong and overseas. This will help nurture a group of responsible and compassionate citizens who are globally aware, and who are committed to putting into practice the ideals of peace, internationalism, justice and excellence in all things.
