Organised by the Hong Kong Federation of Handicapped Youth(HKFHY) – Momentum Academy and funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, HKFHY Jockey Club Sports Inclusion Programme for Persons with Physical Disabilities will be held for 3 years starting from September 2021. The aim of the programme is to establish a “One Life Sport” for disabled people to embody the “PHAB integration” through sports.
We believe that both disabled and able-bodied people should have the same opportunities to develop their potential. In the Programme, people with disabilities can experience the fun of sports, promote physical health and have a positive life attitude. Through sports exercise, they can develop confidence and perseverance, and have a firm and self-reliant life. Through community communication and social networks, they can explore, experience and practice the PHAB integration, and promote community union.
