Donate to our Partner Charity

We highlight a different Asian/BIPOC-focused organization or business to support on a seasonal basis aligning with our event programming. In honor of our international run in London, we are encouraging donations to the London Chinese Community Centre. From their website:

”The London Chinese Community Centre (CCC) is a vital social and learning hub for the Chinese community. It provides a wide range of services and organises a variety of activities to improve the quality of life and well-being of the Chinese community, particularly those who are disadvantaged, isolated or vulnerable. In particular, we aim to assist people of Chinese heritage of all ages to better integrate into UK culture and society. Our expert staff provide confidential and impartial one-on-one support in areas where many struggle, such as welfare, education, housing, health, employment and family/personal problems.

Outreach visits are made to the housebound and vulnerable. Talks, workshops and classes are organised and designed to foster independence and well-being. Translated leaflets are available for those struggling with English, and English classes are regularly taught to learn the basics of how to get around. Events are organised throughout the year to promote Chinese culture.

On a broader scale, we aim to be a strong voice for the interests and opinions of the Chinese Community, campaign for equal rights and opportunities, and promote UK-China relations.”
