Angela Constance MSP had the pleasure of attending the opening of the West Lothian Chinese Community Hub in Pumphersto­n on Sunday, May 8.

The Chinese Community Hub was establishe­d in 2020 by families during the pandemic to overcome a range of difficulti­es including shopping. The community hub is located near West Lothian’s first Chinese Supermarke­t. The official opening was a day of celebratio­n with Chinese dance (including a dragon) and food with hub committee members outlining their current and future plans including Chinese language and cooking classes as well as work to support children and families.

Angela Constance MSP said:“I want to pay tribute to everyone involved in the Chinese Community Hub which was establishe­d spontaneou­sly by families during the pandemic.

“At time of loneliness and isolation they brought people together and this fantastic community hub will be a positive lasting legacy of that work. The official opening was a lovely community celebratio­n and I am sure the Chinese cooking and Chinese language classes will be very popular. West Lothian is welcoming and diverse and this new hub is testimony to the contributi­on made by Chinese community to life in West Lothian. I wish the board members of the Community Hub every success in their plans for the future.”
