Creating a mascot for the community living room is a remarkable endeavor that embodies the warmth and unity this space represents. The mascot serves as more than just a symbol—it brings the concept of community to life. It acts as a cheerful ambassador, sparking joy and fostering a sense of belonging among residents and visitors. Its playful design invites interactions, creating lasting memories and helping individuals feel connected to the community living room’s mission.
This mascot bridges the gap between practicality and emotional resonance. As people engage with its presence, they are reminded of the living room’s role as a safe haven, a gathering spot, and a source of support for those in need. Its charm unites neighbors, encouraging collaboration, kindness, and mutual aid.
Through this creation, we aim to amplify the living room’s identity while delivering an impactful message: the strength of a community lies in its shared spirit. The mascot, in its delightful simplicity, becomes a beacon of compassion and inclusivity—a reflection of the values we hold dear.

On March 19, the Shau Kei Wan Community Living Room officially opened, marking the first community living room in the Hong Kong Island area. Covering approximately 2,700 square feet, it is expected to serve 330 subdivided housing households and accommodate 50,000 visits annually.
During the opening ceremony, Chief Secretary Eric Chan expressed that the Shau Kei Wan Community Living Room embodies the three key elements of the Community Living Room Pilot Scheme: living space, community support, and inclusive care. He highlighted its well-equipped facilities, including a meal preparation area, laundry room, reading corner, children’s play area, and shower rooms—all designed to meet the daily needs of users. Additionally, it offers community information, lectures, and referrals for community services. Friendly and attentive staff provide thoughtful care to help residents integrate into the community.
Furthermore, the community living room collaborates with businesses and local organizations to offer material donations and volunteer services, serving as a gathering point for neighborhood residents. Eric Chan emphasized that the living room allows residents to support each other, share resources, and expand their social networks, fostering a caring and inclusive society.
Chan also announced that, in addition to today’s opening of the Shau Kei Wan Community Living Room, the Ho Man Tin Community Living Room in Kowloon City is set to open next month, with three additional living rooms in Prince Edward, Sham Shui Po, and Kowloon City currently under preparation. This means a total of five new community living rooms will be added this year, exceeding the goal of three outlined in the Policy Address.
Currently, the five opened community living rooms can collectively serve 2,080 subdivided housing households and accommodate 320,000 visits annually. In the future, nine community living rooms are projected to benefit 4,000 households and host over 600,000 visits annually.
