Established in 1988 by the South China Morning Post and RTHK, Operation Santa Claus has grown into one of the most well-known charity campaigns in Hong Kong. Bringing together thousands of corporate partners and community supporters, it fosters a powerful network of philanthropy and compassion. Our corporate entity, SCMP Charities Limited, has been granted tax exemption under Section 88 of the IRO. All the donations will be handled by it, which will channel your donations to charitable entities for meaningful causes with a view to transforming lives across the city.

The Spirit of Hong Kong Awards (SoHK) is an annual campaign co-organised by the South China Morning Post and Sino Group to celebrate the achievements of truly remarkable people who might otherwise be off the radar. The awards champion selfless contributions of real people in our Hong Kong home.

The Student of the Year Awards is Hong Kong’s most prestigious, annual, secondary school event. Organised by the South China Morning Post and sponsored by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, the awards have been running for over forty years. With the support of the Education Bureau of the HKSAR Government, Student of the Year and its satellite awards are a way for schools to acknowledge the achievements of outstanding senior-level students.

The SCMP Business Awards shine a spotlight on the remarkable achievements and potential of corporate executives, SME owners and start-up founders who are shaping Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area. A key feature of the awards is its adjudication by peers, where winners of the awards sit as rotating judges – along with permanent judges and several academic judges – on a panel chaired by the South China Morning Post.
