I was a speaker in London yesterday (Monday 12 June) on the work of Wai Yin Society for carers; these are people that are often unpaid, elderly themselves, and making an immense contribution to local communities.

The seminar was entitled ‘The State of Caring: Towards Building a Supportive Community for the Wellbeing of the Elderly and their Carers’. We were joined by speakers in the field of elderly social care who have vast experience in organising and delivering care to the elderly and their carers in Chinese communities across the UK.
I personally, “…would like to thank the Chinese Welfare Trust for organising this national seminar. It was an important event that raises issues about the current state of caring across the country; it allows community leaders to share their experience, collectively voice and champion the needs of elderly Chinese carers, and influence policy and practice in a positive way.”
