> Islington Chinese Association

‘Islington Chinese Association’ is a registered charity with a mission to promote social cohesion. It works in harmony with the voluntary and statutory sector in the pursuit of charitable objectives that are of benefit to the community -in particular the Chinese community in London.

Begun in 1986 the main aims of the Association is to provide facilities for community education and training, to relieve poverty and distress through advisory services in addition to the promotion of racial harmony within the Borough of Islington and its environs. 

In 2002 the association faced a setback when Islington Council made funding cuts for ethnic voluntary groups. However the Association is determined and has found that its financial struggle has made them a stronger and better organisation.

Perry Fung, the Centre Manager says, “We are very pleased that the Chinese community has been honoured with such a prestigious award. It marks a significant recognition to our contribution to the Chinese and Mainstream communities. The Queen’s Award for Voluntary service belongs to association members, staff, management committee and our volunteers at all levels. We will keep up our hard work!!”
