UK Churches


In order to help Hong Kong families moving to UK, it’s good to know more about their needs.

The HK movers are starting from the beginning, so getting accurate information about available accommodation, schools, jobs, travel, tax and finance etc is important. Some general daily tips about DIY, gardening, grocery shopping and official applications (eg obtaining a National Insurance number, registering with a local GP, and applying for a driving licence) are needed. Language is another of the difficulties. Many have experienced their relationships with family members and friends being ripped apart by polarized political opinions.

These are all pressures faced by Hong Kong families arriving in the UK.

Needs of Hong Kongers

3 After getting used to living in the UK

 
Meaningfulness Meaningfulness in daily life
It’s a good chance for Hong Kongers to be thinking about life going on. Hong Kong’s style is hurried, busy and stressful. It’s good if they can think about how their life can be more balanced and meaningful.
 
Volunteering Be volunteers and sharing stories
Many of the Hong Kongers are willing to share their experience of moving to UK. Some of them will be a YouTuber or build up their business to help their own people.  For Christians, they are willing to hold some groups to help and share information or their stories.
