Chinese Social Group

Are you looking for a Chinese group that offers fun and friendship?

Chinese Senior Social Support groups are facilitated by dedicated staffs and volunteers. The groups are language specific to ensure every participant has a welcoming and safe environment.

We have activities that are well planned and designed to:

  • Meet new friends and provide social support among group members
  • Provide safe indoor and outdoor activities to enhance participants’ physical and emotional wellbeing
  • Through different activities, participants can learn new skills, try new experiences and be more informed of the availability of community resources
  • Provide transport for eligible participants who cannot drive themselves

We have two Chinese Elderly Social Support Groups who meet on Monday and Friday for activities. Join us for:

  • Traditional Chinese celebrations
  • Interesting talks and information
  • Games
  • Tai Chi
  • Local and overseas news and community updates
  • Occasional picnic, outing, shopping trip
  • Lunch and occasional Yum Cha.

Who can join?
