Hong Kong BN(O) Welcoming Project
Originally funded by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities, this project continues to provide tailored, comprehensive support to help Hong Kong BN(O) status holders settle into life in the UK. From practical guidance to wellbeing resources and community integration activities, we’re here to make your transition smoother and more empowering.
New to London?
If you are new to living in Barnet or North London, we'd like to invite you to join our Monthly Welcoming Party.
We'll have guest speakers to share helpful information on various topics about life in the UK.Â
We hope that our package of services can support Hong Kongers to have a smoother transition into their new community.
