The Hong Kong Bank Foundation is supporting the renovation of a learning and development centre for dyslexic students with a donation of HK$3.7 million. This will provide Hong Kong with the first one-stop service meeting the needs of some 1,000 dyslexic students and their parents in the community every year.

The new centre, the Society of Boys’ Centres Hongkong Bank Foundation Learning Development Centre, is the first-ever centre to offer a curriculum-based Chinese language dyslexic service.

The Centre is jointly funded by the Hongkong Bank Foundation and the Social Welfare Department Partnership Fund for the Disadvantaged. Each partner has committed to providing HK$2 million over three years. Operated by the Hong Kong Council of Social Service, the new Centre is a showcase of tripartite partnership represented by the Government, NGOs and the private sector.
