Bristol & the South West · Founded 1975

英國西南區華人聯誼會 Oversea Chinese Association, South West Region

A home for the Chinese community in Bristol, Bath, Gloucester, Somerset, Devon and Dorset — our own community centre, run by members, open to everyone.

Who we are

五十年的家 Fifty years of looking after each other

The Association was founded in 1975 by restaurant owners and families who wanted somewhere the Chinese community could meet, help one another and be heard. We registered as a charity in 1997, and today we run our own community centre in St Agnes, Bristol.

We hold activities across the week — health talks, walking groups, exercise classes and the festival dinners that fill the hall — and we speak up for the welfare of Chinese people across the region.

本會成立於一九七五年,一九九七年註冊為合法慈善團體。本會現址為社區中心,除舉辦不同的活動外,還提供各項服務,致力促進本埠華人的福祉。
