Sik Sik Yuen – Care and Rehabilitation Education Fund

In a bid to support persons in custody to pursue education and vocational training through community involvement, the Department has set up a subsidy scheme, viz. the ‘Sik Sik Yuen – Care and Rehabilitation Education Fund’ (SSY - CREF) starting from March 2023 with a total donation of HK$1,000,000 with HK$250,000 in 2023 and HK$250,000 each in the next three years from Sik Sik Yuen for providing financial assistance directly by the money donated to needy persons in custody to pay for education / vocational training course fees, public examination fees and the like.

The Department invites applications for financial assistance three times a year.
