【Connecting families through meals, Sharing happiness through drawing】

Organised by Pondside, the “Dine with Heart” lunch activity aims to strengthen parent-child relationships through sharing a meal, allowing families to reconnect in their busy lives. A total of 16 families participated, referred by different service units of The Boys’ & Girls’ Clubs Association of Hong Kong (BGCA), including Cheung Sha Wan Integrated Children & Youth Services Centre, BGCA Trauma Counselling Centre, and the Child Development Fund Project. Many families face different life challenges, and the activity provided them with a valuable opportunity to slow down and enjoy quality time together.

Participants shared that the activity helped them realise the importance of family bonding, and they hoped to organise more family activities in the future.

In addition, Pondside organised a charity programme “Eat with Love, Enjoy Together!” from November 2024 to January 2025. A live artist created portraits for donors. A total of HKD 13,550 was raised and donated to BGCA.

We sincerely thank Mr. Ip Wing Chi, founder of Pondside, for his generous support.
