Over the last half century, the Club has strongly promoted sports, recreation and culture – from helping fund the Sports Institute to aid in the construction of Hong Kong Park, Ocean Park and the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts.

The importance of the arts to the disabled was not overlooked by the Trust. In 2003, we donated HK$27.71 million for a five-year pilot scheme -- Jockey Club Arts for the Disabled Scheme. The scheme aims to help people with disabilities to develop their creative and artistic potential. The grant provides logistical support for disabled artists and performers and opportunities to display their work through community performances and art displays.

With a Trust donation of HK$1.47 million, the Hong Kong Youth Arts Festival staged the "Jockey Club Colourpolitan Project" in November 2003, bringing colour into the lives of many young people by helping them to visualise and interpret the multi-faceted nature of art.
