THE SWIRE CHARITABLE TRUST - Key Persons
The Hong Kong based Swire Trust was established in 1983 as the philanthropic arm of Swire Pacific Limited.
Swire Trust's mission is to create positive change in Education, Marine and Arts through supporting registered non-profit organisations primarily in Hong Kong and Mainland China. Please contact swiretrust@jsshk.com with enquiries.
The donations made by these family trusts are driven by the Trustees and the Swire family. The trusts support the work of a wide range of charities, across all sectors, both in the UK & overseas and are managed by the same staff team as the Swire Charitable Trust. It is extremely rare for donations to be made in response to unsolicited applications.
This is a private ten-year initiative funded by John Swire and Sons Ltd. Established in 2016, the Foundation aims to widen the learning of Mandarin Chinese in state schools in Britain. There are now 12 Swire Chinese Language Centres established across the country, teaching pupils from 4 to 18. Through the teaching of the language to a new and expanding generation of schoolchildren, the hope is to encourage the foundations for a stronger engagement with China.
