Membership

The Cambridge Chinese Community Centre is a Chinese charity organization founded in 1997.

Since its establishment, under the leadership of successive committees, it has consistently adhered to the principle of “mutual assistance, collective benefit, respecting the elderly, and supporting the young.” The centre strives to create a hub for information and services.

The centre unites the broader Chinese and overseas Chinese community, working to secure benefits for its members, promote ethnic harmony and unity, preserve and develop our traditional culture, fight for the rights and equal opportunities granted by law, and integrate into mainstream society. Simultaneously, it serves as a bridge and link: leveraging our unique advantages, we connect people, businesses, and governments in China and the UK, contributing to Sino-British friendship, economic development, and cultural exchange.

Through years of collective effort, the community centre has become an organization strictly managed in accordance with UK charity requirements. It is democratic, open, and transparent; entirely run by unpaid volunteers; governed by democratic decision-making rather than autocratic rule; and equipped with sound regulations, strict financial policies, and thorough minutes for all meetings.

Through our efforts and activities, the centre showcases the image of a new generation of Chinese people to the local society. We are confident and united, courageous and responsible, selflessly dedicated; we not only integrate into mainstream society but also aim to become its backbone. We not only understand and absorb the essence of other cultures but also inherit, preserve, and promote our own cultural traditions. We objectively, accurately, and vividly introduce our traditions and culture to the next generation and other ethnic groups, fostering mutual understanding and appreciation, and building an inclusive and harmonious society.

Our activities are open to the entire society. Our volunteers and committee members are not limited to Chinese individuals. Our event venues have expanded from indoor spaces for the Chinese community to public venues such as Parkers Piece, Jesus Green, Lammas Land, Milton County Park, Corn Exchange, and City Hall. Our activities are frequently covered by domestic media outlets such as Xinhua News Agency, as well as English-language media.
