TWGHs Positive Life 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 six-year subsidy scheme, viz. the ‘Tung Wah Group Hospitals Positive Life Education Fund’ (TWGHsPLEF) starting from 2019 with a total donation of HK$1,200,000 from Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (TWGHs). In view of the success of the fund in encouraging the continuing education of persons in custody, the TWGHs agreed to continue funding the TWGHsPLEF with a total donation of HK$1,000,000 comprising HK$200,000 in 2025 and HK$200,000 each in the next four years to provide 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.
