Hong Kong forum examines sport’s role in inclusion and solidarity
A two-day philanthropy forum in Hong Kong explored how sport can support inclusion, shared purpose and global solidarity. The event was convened by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust with the Institute of Philanthropy at the West Kowloon Cultural District earlier this month.
The relationship between sport and philanthropy was the focus of a two-day forum held earlier this month in Hong Kong, according to the South China Morning Post. The PBC, or Philanthropy for Better Cities, Forum 2026 was convened by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust in association with the Institute of Philanthropy. It took place at Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Cultural District.
The forum examined how sport can inspire inclusion, shared purpose and global solidarity. The supplied material describes those themes as central to the event, but does not provide details of individual speakers, sessions, projects or conclusions. The Institute of Philanthropy was established by the Club and its Charities Trust in 2023.
Its stated purpose is to promote philanthropic thought leadership and strengthen capabilities in the sector at local, regional and global levels. The event therefore brought together the forum’s focus on sport with the institute’s wider philanthropic mission. The available report does not say how many people attended, which organisations were represented or whether any new initiatives were announced.
It also does not provide specific examples of sporting programmes or charitable projects discussed during the two-day gathering. Further details about the forum’s proceedings and its effect on philanthropy are not included in the supplied material.
