mei yuk 2024

Mei Yuk joined the Circuit in September 2023 as the Hong Kong Fellowship Coordinator.

Since primary school, Mei Yuk was educated in Christian schools in Hong Kong. She was a youth leader at a local Anglican church, and head girl at St Catherine's School for Girls. After graduating with a Bachelor of Divinity from the School of Theology, Chung Chi College, Chinese University of Hong Kong, she worked for different church organisations in Hong Kong, including Hong Kong Christian Institute. She was the Vice-Chair of the Hong Kong Women's Christian Council, and graduated from the Institute of Social Studies, The Hague, specialising in Women and Development.

In the UK, Mei Yuk has worked in a community centre, an arts centre, and a local authority before working for the church again.

Over the last decade, she has worked for Heaton Mersey Methodist Church and Edgeley Community Church as a lay worker. She enjoys working with families and the community, and understands the importance of an open and outward looking church for its mission.

When the political situation in Hong Kong was getting worse over the last few years, she supported many Hongkongers and groups in different ways. She thought it was vital for the church to respond to the needs of the new community, and urged the church to welcome and support Hongkongers in the Stockport area. With the blessing of Edgeley Community Church, the Hong Kong Fellowship was established in January 2023.

Recently, Mei Yuk has received a Community Champion Award from Groundswell Project in Manchester. It is in recognition of her contributions, especially to the Hong Kong community over the years. Additionally, she was nominated for the Person in Faith, Community Award from Make a Difference in Stockport.

Beside her church work, Mei Yuk is a creative professional. She graduated from Wimbledon School of Art and London Guildhall University (London Metropolitan University). She makes artwork, curates exhibitions, writes plays and produces theatre work. Her work has been shown nationally and internationally.
