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 subsidy scheme, viz. the ‘Tung Wah Group Hospitals Positive Life Education Fund’ (TWGHsPLEF) for six years starting from May 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 further donated HK$1,000,000 to extend the scheme for five more 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.
