Introduction

For 40 incredible years, Walk Up Jardine House stood as an iconic and inspiring platform to champion mental health awareness in Hong Kong. Initiated by the Jardine Matheson Group in 1985, the event was a pioneering effort to bring attention to mental well-being at a time when it was under-recognised in both public and corporate spaces. Today, it has evolved into the annual fundraising event under the Jardine Matheson Group's registered charity, MINDSET.

Walk Up Jardine House is more than just a stair race; it is a powerful space for shared purpose, connection and open conversations around mental health. The event brings together more than 500 participants each year. It has raised over HK$5 million in cash and in-kind sponsorships, supporting local mental health non-governmental organisations and initiatives last year. We sincerely thank all of our partners for your support over the past four decades as we build a future where everyone is empowered to improve their mental health.
