“Jebsen InspiringHK!” Long-term Sports Training Programme 2025–26 Graduation Ceremony Concludes Successfully
The Graduation Ceremony of “Jebsen InspiringHK!” Long-term Sports Training Programme 2025–26, sponsored by Jebsen Group, concluded successfully on 4 July, marking a memorable milestone after a year of hard work and dedication.
We were truly honoured to welcome Ms. Sara Ho, Chief Human Resources Officer of Jebsen Group, to deliver the opening remarks. She encouraged students to maintain their passion for sports and embrace new challenges, as she joined guests, coaches, and parents to witness this meaningful moment.
Alongside the presentation of certificates to outstanding students, participants delivered a dynamic rope skipping demonstration and shared their personal reflections. The excitement reached a peak during the two tournament final matches that followed, where students gave their all on the court, applying their skills to real competition and showcasing the impressive fruits of their year-long training.
We extend our gratitude to Jebsen Group for their trust and support in funding seven long-term sports training classes across fencing and rope skipping, enabling over 100 underprivileged youth to receive systematic and professional sports training. Looking back over the past year, many students have evolved from hesitant beginners into confident competitors, demonstrating inspiring growth and resilience. We will continue to empower youth through sports, and we anticipate collaborating with more community partners in the new academic year to support even more young people in surpassing their boundaries!
Connecting the Neighbourhood Through Sport: “Building Community ‧ Building Tung Chung 3.0” Concludes
Supported by Swire Group Charitable Trust and coordinated by Hong Kong Council of Social Service, “Building Community ‧ Building Tung Chung 3.0” programme has concluded with resounding success. As one of the project partners over the past two years, IHKSports has fostered deep and meaningful connections within the Tung Chung community through a diverse range of sports-based initiatives.
Throughout the programme, we delivered a series of structured primary school sports training sessions, empowering underprivileged students to build self-confidence and perseverance. We also facilitated corporate volunteer initiatives, fostering meaningful engagement between corporate professionals and students. These activities not only broadened our students’ horizons but also brought vital cross-sector warmth and care to the local community.
We also hosted multiple Community Family Sports Days, featuring dynamic sports challenges that encouraged parents and children to team up and enjoy quality bonding time. Our key event, “Lunar Walkathon 2025”, provided the public with an energetic and healthy way to welcome the new year, allowing residents to share in the festive joy while strengthening both family bonds and neighbourhood connections.
Over the past two years, the programme successfully engaged more than 3,500 attendees, injecting sustained vitality into Tung Chung while profoundly enhancing residents’ sense of belonging and community cohesion. Looking ahead, we eagerly anticipate joining forces once again for the upcoming “Building Community ‧ Building Tung Chung 4.0” programme, continuing our dedicated service to foster an even more harmonious and tightly-knit neighbourhood.
