About

Collaborative Hong Kong Women CIC stands as a pillar of support and empowerment within the Manchester community, dedicated to enhancing the lives of children, teenagers, women, and the elderly through a variety of impactful initiatives and events. Our mission is rooted in fostering well-being, building community spirit, and addressing the diverse needs of our members.

At the heart of our efforts are the numerous events and activities we organize throughout the year. We believe in the power of community engagement and regularly host gatherings designed to strengthen bonds and provide mutual support. Our initiatives span across multiple locations in Manchester, ensuring accessibility and inclusivity for all.

For the younger members of our community, we offer weekly English classes at The Firs Primary School, catering specifically to children, and at Sale High School for teenagers. These classes not only support educational development but also create a nurturing environment where young individuals can thrive and build essential skills for their future.

Our commitment to supporting women in the community is exemplified through our monthly women’s gatherings held in Salford and Sale. These gatherings serve as vital platforms for connection, empowerment, and the exchange of experiences and advice. They provide women with a supportive network where they can share challenges and triumphs, fostering a sense of belonging and solidarity.

In addition to educational and social gatherings, we prioritize the health and well-being of our elderly community members. We organize weekly health care days, walking days, and tea gatherings, providing opportunities for seniors to stay active, socialize, and access necessary health resources in a comfortable and welcoming setting.

Collaboration is central to our approach, and we work closely with the age group departments of Manchester City Council and Trafford Council to ensure that our programs effectively meet the specific needs of our diverse community. Together, we strive to create impactful events and initiatives that resonate with our members and contribute positively to their lives.

Stanley Square serves as a vibrant hub where many of our community events take place. From celebrating cultural festivities like Mother’s Day and Lunar New Year to hosting engaging summer craft events, Stanley Square is where our community comes together to celebrate, learn, and connect.

Our partnerships extend beyond local councils to include collaboration with Manchester Alliance and God of Church, among others. These partnerships allow us to provide crucial mental health support through tea gatherings and other initiatives, ensuring that those in need have access to resources and a supportive community during challenging times.

For women seeking practical assistance, we operate a dedicated hotline offering guidance on applying for universal credit and accessing essential health services. We also facilitate referrals to GPs or hospitals for individuals experiencing mental health issues, ensuring they receive timely and appropriate care.

Collaborative Hong Kong Women CIC is committed to making a lasting positive impact on the community we serve. By fostering a supportive and inclusive environment through our diverse range of programs and partnerships, we strive to empower individuals of all ages and backgrounds to thrive and contribute meaningfully to society.

In conclusion, our organization stands as a testament to the power of community collaboration and compassion. Through our unwavering dedication to supporting children, teenagers, women, and the elderly in Manchester, we continue to make strides towards building a stronger, more connected community where everyone feels valued and empowered. Together, we are shaping a brighter future for generations to come.
