Dr. Adrian Cheng is a visionary entrepreneur and philanthropist dedicated to advancing mental wellbeing and support through his leadership of The WEMP Foundation. With a profound belief in the importance of mental well-being, Dr. Cheng has focused his efforts on addressing mental health challenges within communities, aiming to reduce stigma and foster open conversations particularly for underserved communities in Hong Kong.
As the founder of The WEMP Foundation, various programmes have been initiated and pioneered to promote mental health education and literacy. Leveraging soft media such as tailored-movies for families and musicals for youths, these initiatives empower parents with knowledge about positive parenting, encouraging them to express emotions more comfortably and equip youths with positive thinking. Under his guidance, the foundation has launched awareness campaigns that highlight the significance of mental health and the resources available to those in need. Additionally, The WEMP Foundation prioritises the support to underserved families, and focuses on supporting disincentivised families whoever feel reluctant to seek for help to create genuine impact tackling deep-rooted social issues.
Dr. Cheng actively collaborates with mental health organisations and experts to deploy innovative strategies and community-based solutions. Serving as an integrated powerhouse, The WEMP Foundation actualises high-impact philanthropy under Dr. Adrian Cheng’s vision. His commitment to research, i.e. collaborating with the University of Cambridge, further strengthens the foundation’s impact, as it seeks to enhance understanding of school readiness of children and give valuable feedback to WEMP’s strategies and policies.
Through The WEMP Foundation, Dr. Cheng continues to inspire others to prioritise mental health, making significant strides toward a more compassionate and understanding society. His dedication to this cause reflects his broader vision of building resilient communities that thrive on support, awareness, and education not just locally but also globally.

He aspires and strives to continue to collaborate with like-minded philanthropists and experts on mental well-being and create more long-lasting and pragmatic impact together.
