Contributing to Healthy Lifestyles and Exercising for Charity Sports for Charity and Healthy Living Objective • Encourage healthy lifestyles and Sports for Charity Approach • Organize and/or sponsor signature charitable sporting events and other initiatives to advocate the spirit of Sports for Charity to help the underprivileged children and youths • Promote the fun of exercise and the importance of a healthy and sustainable lifestyle to the public SHKP Sports for Charity Initiatives SHKP is committed to Sports for Charity and strives to promote healthy lifestyles through sporting events. SHKP Vertical Run for Charity – Race to Hong Kong ICC and the Sun Hung Kai Properties Hong Kong Cyclothon are two of our signature Sports for Charity events. In light of COVID-19, both were suspended during the reporting period to ensure the health and safety of participants and the public. Despite the pandemic, we continued to support charitable sports and health- related programmes by donating to community projects. These programmes include SHKP Science & Innovation Project for the Gifted (Phase II and III), SHKP Art to Heart Expressive Arts x Navigation for Youth Mental Wellness and SHKP Rainbow with KIDS. • In collaboration with The Boys’ & Girls’ Clubs Association of Hong Kong (BGCA), we have sponsored the SHKP Science & Innovation Project for the Gifted since 2016. This provides free STEM courses for gifted children from low-income households, benefiting more than 300 children and their families. This year, participants were given the opportunity to showcase their STEM art projects to the public at Hong Kong City Hall. • The school-based SHKP Art to Heart Expressive Arts x Navigation for Youth Mental Wellness programme supports the well-being of secondary students. Participants enjoy the opportunity to express and manage their emotions through creative art. Two years of support from SHKP has allowed the programme to reach 58 secondary schools, benefiting more than 3,700 students, teachers and social workers. • To support children and youth with difficulties, SHKP has since 2017 sponsored the SHKP Rainbow with KIDS project. Run by the Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS), it has enabled more than 700 children and youth, and their families, to recover from crises. Amid the challenging pandemic period, four participating organizations provided online training and therapy to families and offered counselling to those in need. The Group will closely monitor the impact of COVID-19 and continue to support programmes under Sports for Charity when they resume. In the meantime, we will explore alternative ways to promote sports and healthy lifestyles. More details can be found on the Sports for Charity website. Sponsoring the SHKP Supernova Cycling Team To promote cycling to the young generation, we have since 2019 sponsored the SHKP Supernova Cycling Team. Underprivileged but talented and passionate cyclists between the ages of 12 and 18 receive professional training. Five members of the team have become part of the Hong Kong Cycling Team and represented Hong Kong at international events. Another three have been selected to join the Hong Kong Junior Cycling Team, while two have been nominated to join a professional training programme in France and compete in high-level European races.
