In 2016, the Welfare Council received a funding of over HK$13 million from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust for the renovation of the “WE LOVE—Jockey Club Centre for Family Enhancement” and launch of the three-year service project to support children with special educational needs (SEN) in September 2017. The centre’s launching event was held on 24th April, 2018 to thank the Hong Kong Jockey Club for their generous donation.
Backed by the Council’s rich experience in helping SEN pupils, the centre’s team of multidisciplinary professionals are on one hand family-focused, and, on the other, provide individual and group therapies that help improve the social skills, attention spans, sensory integration and fine motor skills. Through various training activities, the centre targets to assist SEN students from underprivileged families with early intervention methods and lend support to their parents.
