We aim to showcase the impactful efforts of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust (“the Trust”) in supporting older adults.  Drawing from the Trust’s extensive work and funded projects, we will highlight innovative initiatives that foster meaningful connections, promote active ageing, and enhance the quality of life for seniors in Hong Kong.  These initiatives will exemplify an equity-centered approach to demographic transitions by addressing diverse needs of older adults, their caregivers, and the wider community.  We will highlight the essential roles of family, community and supportive environments by discussing, for instance, the support provided to caregivers, demonstrating how philanthropy can catalyse cross-sectoral efforts involving government, civil society, and community stakeholders.  

By sharing the Trust’s experiences and best practices, we hope to contribute valuable insights to the discussion on demographic transitions, social equity, and population diversity, as outlined in sub-theme one of the upcoming PMAC.  Our goal is to facilitate a collaborative dialogue on how such initiatives can inform and inspire global strategies for ageing populations.
