✨ Learning, sharing and connecting across generations at Wing Hong!

We were delighted to welcome the AI Safety Governance Delegation from the Department of Electronic Engineering at Tsinghua University (清華大學電子系) Tsinghua University to Wing Hong for an inspiring exchange on AI, digital safety and online scams.

Our members enjoyed learning about the latest developments in artificial intelligence, how scammers are increasingly using AI-generated voices, fake messages and other sophisticated techniques, as well as practical ways to stay safe online. The session sparked plenty of questions, discussion and laughter, with our members sharing their own experiences and concerns about navigating the digital world.

At the same time, the students gained valuable insight into the digital challenges faced by older Chinese people living in the UK and the importance of community-based support in promoting digital confidence and inclusion.

Beyond the presentation, what made the day truly special was the opportunity for different generations to connect. Over a traditional Chinese lunch, our members and the students chatted about life in Scotland, studying in China, technology, culture and community. It was wonderful to see meaningful conversations taking place across generations, with everyone learning from one another.

A huge thank you to the delegation from Tsinghua University’s Department of Electronic Engineering for visiting us and sharing your knowledge, enthusiasm and time. We hope you enjoyed meeting our community as much as we enjoyed welcoming you to Wing Hong, and we look forward to staying connected in the future.

Together, we can build a safer, more connected and more digitally confident community. 💜

We’re incredibly grateful to have taken part in this inspiring creative ageing project with Luminate, We Are Here Scotland and Age Scotland.

Over four weeks, our members laughed, created, shared memories and connected through art. It was wonderful to see how quickly everyone built a rapport with artist Jj Fadaka, who encouraged our members to tell their stories and express themselves in creative ways.

A huge thank you to Jj, the Luminate team, We Are Here Scotland, Age Scotland and photographer Najma Abukar for making the project such a positive and enjoyable experience. We’re proud to have been part of it💜

A wonderful day exploring the University of Glasgow!

This week, our members enjoyed a guided tour of the beautiful University of Glasgow, discovering the history, architecture and fascinating stories behind one of Scotland’s oldest universities.

For many of our members, despite living in Glasgow for many years, this was their first opportunity to explore the university campus. It was wonderful to see everyone asking questions, sharing memories and taking in the impressive surroundings together.

The visit finished with tea, coffee and plenty of conversation, giving everyone the chance to relax and reflect on a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.

A big thank you to our fantastic guides and everyone at the University of Glasgow University of Glasgow for giving our members such a warm welcome. We all had a brilliant time! ❤️

🥬🌱 From Our Garden to Your Plate 🌱🥬

Despite Glasgow’s unpredictable weather, our community garden has been thriving! This week, our mustard greens and Celtuce were ready to harvest, thanks to the care and dedication of our members and volunteers. 💚

The freshly picked vegetables went straight from the garden into our kitchen, where they became:
🥬 Stir-fried romaine lettuce
🍲 Mustard green soup with salted egg

There’s something special about enjoying vegetables harvested just moments before they reach the table.

Growing our own food not only provides fresh, nutritious ingredients for our lunch club, but also helps reduce food miles, encourages sustainable living, and brings people together through gardening, learning and sharing. 🌍🌿

At Wing Hong, our garden is more than just a place to grow vegetables—it’s a place where friendships grow too.

🌱 Our lunch club runs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and we always welcome everyone to join us.

If you enjoy gardening or would like to help maintain our community garden, we’re also looking for volunteers to get involved. No experience is needed—just enthusiasm! 💚

If you’d like to find out more, feel free to send us a message or email us at [email protected].

🦄✨ A New Guardian for Wing Hong ✨🦄

We are delighted to welcome a beautiful new Qilin (麒麟) sculpture to Wing Hong.

The Qilin is a traditional Chinese mythical creature that symbolises good fortune, prosperity, peace and protection. It is often regarded as a guardian figure, bringing blessings and positive energy to the community.

This artwork was created by Leen Ayache, a 3rd Year Sculpture student from the Glasgow School of Art, as part of a collaborative community project. Inspired by the cultural heritage and welcoming atmosphere of Wing Hong, Leen designed the sculpture to reflect themes of protection, cultural exchange and community connection.

A huge thank you to Leen, the Glasgow School of Art, and everyone involved in making this project possible. We are delighted to welcome the Qilin to Wing Hong and look forward to sharing it with our members and visitors for years to come.

Dementia Awareness Session at Wing Hong Centre

In April, Wing Hong Centre hosted a Dementia Community Information Session delivered by Julie, Dementia Trainer from Age Scotland, bringing together members of our community to learn, ask questions, and share experiences in a welcoming and supportive environment.

We were delighted to see such a positive turnout and active participation from community members, with many people taking part in discussions and sharing their own experiences.

The session explored:
✨ Understanding dementia and recognising early signs
✨ Support available for family members and carers
✨ Ways to access information and community resources
✨ Creating conversations around dementia within families and communities

For many people in the Chinese community, dementia can still be a difficult topic to talk about due to stigma, language barriers, or a lack of accessible information. Through culturally sensitive and bilingual support, we hope to make these conversations easier and ensure people feel informed and supported.

This session forms part of our wider series of dementia-focused activities at Wing Hong Centre, aiming to raise awareness, provide support, reduce isolation, and strengthen connections within the Chinese community.

A special thank you to and their Encouraging and Supporting Grassroots Activities Fund, which has made it possible for us to run this pilot project and provide meaningful support for our community. ❤️

Thank you as well to Julie for sharing knowledge and helping us create a safe and supportive space for discussion.

We are also looking to grow this project and welcome volunteers who would like to support our community. If you are interested in getting involved and learning more, please contact us at [email protected]

We look forward to continuing this work and supporting our community together.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been delighted to host two “Happy Memories Café” sessions at Wing Hong Centre in collaboration with

Through gardening, music, conversation and shared activities, the sessions created a warm and welcoming space for our elders to connect, relax and support wellbeing together. From planting flowers in our garden to listening to familiar Cantonese songs, it was lovely to see so many smiles and conversations shared across the group. 🌸

Although many of our members do not speak fluent English, it was wonderful to see how much they enjoyed interacting and chatting with Arvind. The warm and friendly atmosphere helped everyone feel comfortable and included.

These sessions also helped raise awareness around dementia and wellbeing within the Chinese community in a gentle, culturally sensitive and supportive way.

A big thank you to Arvind and Dementia Heroes for their support and collaboration. We look forward to continuing to grow the project together 🌿
