Organisation description: Wai Yin Chinese Women Society has been supporting, empowering and working in partnership with Chinese individuals and families since 1988. Set up by a group of community-minded Chinese Women, Wai Win has become one of the largest Chinese Community centres in the UK, sustaining its operations through commissions and contracts with mainstream organisations. It now supports not just the Chinese community, but also other ethnic minority groups, including Somali, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Indian and many European nationalities.
Wai Yin Society now provides education, training, employment support, health and wellbeing services, elderly care, and community integration programmes for Chinese and other ethnic minority communities in Greater Manchester. Services include adult learning, ESOL, job clubs, mental health support, carers’ sessions, children’s activities, and cultural events, delivered across three centres: the Dr Sylvia Sham Centre, the Welcome Centre, and the Sheung Lok Elderly Luncheon Club.
