Scheme on Relief Grants for Interest Class Instructors Hired by Organisations Subvented by the Social Welfare Department (Phase 3) opens for application
******************************************************************************************
As one of the measures under the Anti-epidemic Fund approved in December 2020, Scheme III aims at providing a one-off relief grant of $7,500 for each of the eligible successful applicants of Scheme I and/or Scheme II, and interest class instructors engaged/planned to be engaged by subvented welfare service units of the SWD-subvented organisations for providing training in arts, dancing, handicraft work and sports, etc, for service users during the period from January to April 2021, where the units' services have been suspended and the instructors' income affected owing to the prevailing epidemic situation, so as to provide further support and help lessen the impact of COVID-19 on them. For those instructors who have submitted applications to the Education Bureau for relief grants for school instructors of learning/interest classes or to the Leisure and Cultural Services Department for relief grants for registered sports coaches, further submission to the SWD is not required.
