Viv introduces two new besea.n core team members King-Wey and Peiwen onto the poddy! We talk about things Peiwen notices moving over to the UK aged 14, like how we have separate taps and daylight savings (didn't realise that wasn't a thing in other countries?!), as well as delving into our turning points for thinking about race, identity. King-Wey shares her stories around friendship breakups, and uses a great phrase about spring cleaning friendships - perfect reason to dust the ol' friendship cobwebs.  A portion of this episode is sponsored by Barnardo's charity.  https://helpline.barnardos.org.uk/hong-kong-bno  The UK’s leading charity for children and families Barnardo’s launched a dedicated helpline last year to support ethnic community families. Since Feb 1st the helpline has been expanded to also offer dedicated services to Hong Kong British Nationals (Overseas) relocating to the UK. In the first half to 2021, 65,000 Hong Kong nationals arrived in the UK and the government expects around 475,000 to arrive over the coming years. Barnardo’s Boloh helpline, offers support in Cantonese and English, provides a free psychotherapy to support the mental health and wellbeing needs of those who will be resettling into a new culture, education system and employment, and challenges integrating into communities. You can find out more and access support on : 0800 151 2605 to speak to a friendly advisor or make an online referral visit their website.
