Fostering Connection and Growth - The Prince Edward Community Living Room

For many families living in subdivided flats, everyday life is often confined to limited spaces, making interaction with neighbours a luxury. Henderson Land partnered with Lok Kwan Social Service to support the “Prince Edward Community Living Room”, an initiative under the HKSAR Government designed to enhance community well-being for residents in “subdivided units”. Building on the success of the Nam Cheong Community Living Room, the Group provided a second rent-free space of around 4,800 sq. ft., creating an accessible place for families to gather, join activities and support personal development. The new facility is projected to serve 500 households and generate around 80,000 visits per year, strengthening neighbourhood networks while addressing housing-related social challenges.

Support for the Community Living Rooms also extends to addressing children’s learning needs. Dr Lee Ka Shing, Martin, Chairman of Henderson Land Group, extended the textbook subsidy for students from both Prince Edward and Nam Cheong Community Living Rooms. Over the past 2 years, the initiative has benefited around 1,700 students, easing education costs for families living in subdivided flats and enabling students to pursue their studies with greater stability.

Henderson Land also brings care into the community through seasonal and shared experiences. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Group donated 20 multifunctional folding stools, upcycled from “The Fractal Forest”, a limited-time art work previously showcased at The Henderson Art Garden, and distributed 200 gift bags to members of the Prince Edward Community Living Room to share festive warmth and strengthen connection. To encourage cultural participation, the Group also hosted 100 residents from the Prince Edward and Nam Cheong Community Living Rooms at the “Water Parade along Victoria Harbour” on 29 October 2025, providing complimentary market access and commemorative souvenirs.

In addition, the Henderson Warmth Volunteer Team held a “Christmas Wreath Workshop” for families at the “Prince Edward Community Living Room” in early December. A professional florist was invited to demonstrate techniques and guide families in creating their own organic Christmas wreaths. The activity allowed children to immerse themselves in the festive spirit, stimulate their creativity and artistic potential, experience the satisfaction of hands-on creation, and promoted the concept of sustainable development.
