We are South Yorkshire WH Community, a volunteer group that was established in 1995. We aim to assist grassroots, vulnerable people, and ethnic minorities by welcoming them to join us for weekly Monday Lunch and activities, a weekly free luncheon for our members. We want to send warm wishes and care to those people while also looking after our community in the South Yorkshire region. According to data, about 180,000 BNO British Nationals (Overseas) HongKongers came to the UK from Hong Kong between 2020 and August 2024.
We hope they will swiftly integrate into the community, have a successful future in the UK, and enjoy living here. The South Yorkshire WH Community provided members with natural plants as a reward for allotment plant work, allowing them to save money on retail vegetables.
There are several different age groups in between the 3 to 85 age range. In the upcoming years, we intend to provide more events and activities tailored to these age groups, such as Day trip outings, English classes, Interest groups, Handcraft, Sports, Walking groups, Dance classes and traditional festival celebrations that will bring wellbeing to our members. On the other hand, we seek to support more people and the natural environment in the South Yorkshire region, particularly young people aged 16 to 25, by providing hope and assistance in acquiring skills and boosting self-confidence before entering the labour market.
​
We will make more efforts to improve the mental health, emotional, and social well-being of the elderly, particularly concerning the language barriers that challenges them from integrating into life in the UK. In addition, we provided bilingual translation services to our members.
