*non-capital works projects, including the purchase of sports and recreational equipment; and
*a special project with the theme "Improvement Works for Sports & Recreational Facilities" for this year, which allows the carrying out of improvement or upgrading works to existing sports and recreational facilities.
The guidelines for funding applications and application forms are available on the Home Affairs Bureau's homepage.They are also available by fax. Send a request to 2519 7404.
Completed forms should be sent to the Secretariat of the fund committee at 41/F, Revenue Tower, 5 Gloucester Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong.
The deadline for applications for the capital works projects is May 31. Applications for non-capital works projects will be processed in two batches, with closing dates set on May 31 and November 30. For the special project, applications should be submitted to the secretariat before August 31.
