Productive session yesterday with Cllr Cryss meeting Sutton Housing Partnership & the Cyclical team! 🛠️

Great session today with Tammy Tai from @uclh.bsky.social Cancer Clinical Trials Unit (CCTU)! She joined our Sutton Older Hongkonger tea gathering to discuss NHS cancer support, treatment pathways, and the vital role of clinical trials in developing new therapies. 🏥✨ #NHS #CancerResearch
Vital insight: While the number of people seeking help is increasing, food donations have actually dropped. 📉
The Sutton Community Project needs our support to keep up with demand. If you can help or donate, please reach out! #FoodBank #SuttonCommunity #DonateLocal
Joined Cllr Ed & Cllr Cryss today to support the Sutton Community Project! 🧺

We are calling for no retrospective changes and fairer income requirements. The uncertainty affects everyone, from BNO holders to asylum seekers. We must ensure our community feels secure in their new home. Full interview: www.bbc.com/zhongwen/art... 2/2
Honoured to speak with the BBC regarding the impact of tightening UK visa policies on the HK community in Sutton. Our data shows 30% of arrivals fear these changes, feeling a sense of betrayal and deep anxiety about their future. 1/2 #BNO #Sutton #HKImmigration
@bobbywdean.bsky.social reaffirmed his strong support for the 5-year pathway to settlement, calling any extension to 10 years a betrayal of trust. Great to see the Sutton community engaging directly with Parliament to protect our shared future. 🗣️🇬🇧 #UKPolitics #SuttonHK
Honoured to introduce today’s Immigration Policy Reform Talk in Sutton. 🏠 Huge thanks to @bobbywdean.bsky.social for joining us to discuss the latest Immigration White Paper and the future of the #BNO visa scheme. #Sutton #HongKongers
The Young Commissioners from Volunteer Centre Sutton inspire me. 18 secondary students choosing to meet fortnightly to discuss society's big issues—that's rare passion. Shared my HK community story & journey to council. Together, we're building a better community. #CivicEngagement #Sutton
As a councillor and Hongkonger community organiser, I'm backing Dr @krishk.com and Sanctuary Foundation's fight for fairness against UK immigration changes causing distress for HongKongers. Featured on @cna-poster.bsky.social ChannelNewsAsia

Huge thanks to @krishk.com and everyone who helped deliver the 7,600+ signature petition to 10 Downing Street today.
We urge the UK Govt to ensure fairness for those who have already committed their lives to the UK. Uphold your promise and moral responsibility to Hongkongers. #BNO #EarnedSettlement
50 voices in 24 hours.
Sutton #HongKongers are raising the alarm on " #EarnedSettlement": 🔹Retrospective hikes to requirements (breaking the 5+1 promise) 🔹Income rules barring retirees & homemakers 🔹Sudden B2 English jump
Report below to support MPs for debate in #parliament.
A huge thank you to @luketaylorld.bsky.social & @bobbywdean.bsky.social ! The news that BNO visa holders will still qualify for settlement after 5 years is a huge relief for the Sutton Hong Konger community. We appreciate your relentless campaign to protect this vital commitment. #BNO #HongKongers
As a Councillor & Sutton HK community organiser, I spoke at today's anti-Super-Embassy protest in London.We must reject the building that symbolises the threat of authoritarian overreach to our UK communities. Our freedom is non-negotiable. #DefendFreedom Photo:GalileoCheng
Honoured to join Remembrance Sunday at Manor Park, Sutton, laying a wreath for those who served. Thanks Jeff Richard & Cllr Ed Presley. Special thanks to Kan, a former HK Military Service Corps bugler, for connecting Hongkonger and UK history.
#RemembranceSunday #SuttonCommunity #TogetherAsOne
Great to be featured in Nikkei Asia on #HongKongers settling in the UK! 🇬🇧🇭🇰
Despite barriers, the community is #GivingBack in a huge way: Majority of #Volunteer at Sutton's largest food bank are from HK!
Proud to support true integration. asia.nikkei.com/spotlight/im...
The BNO visa was a moral lifeline. The plan to extend settlement to 10 years is a betrayal.
This change blocks MPF access and forces our children into high international fees. The government must honour its promise.
As a Councillor quoted in the @financialtimes.com , I demand action.
#BNOVisa
Great to join the parliamentary event today on the BNO route and the threat of the 10-year settlement change.
Huge thanks to @luketaylorld.bsky.social , EmilyDarlingtonMP & Carmen Lau from HKDC for hosting. I was proud to share our community's concerns with Cllr AndyNg and fellow activists.
