City Partnership Scheme
INTRODUCTION
The Jockey Club Age-friendly City Partnership Scheme 2020 (“the Scheme”) has been launched to continue to encourage different community sectors in building an age-friendly city that can cater for the needs of all ages. Under the Scheme, companies or organisations in different sectors which have adopted one or more age-friendly practice(s) in their businesses or operations, or provided product(s) or service(s) catering for the needs of elderly people, will be recognised.
The Scheme is supported by the four major business chambers in Hong Kong, namely The Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, Hong Kong, The Chinese Manufacturers’ Association of Hong Kong, the Federation of Hong Kong Industries and The Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce.
The objectives of the Scheme are:
- To encourage stakeholders across various sectors — including businesses, government departments, and social enterprises — to collaborate in fostering an age-friendly culture and community environment, and to promote joint efforts and innovation
- To provide valuable resources and information to older adults, facilitating their active ageing in the community
- To arouse public awareness of the importance of building an age-friendly city, promote the adoption of age-friendly practices, and foster an inclusive society
