Haringey Chinese Centre

The charitable company is dedicated to advancing the well-being of the residents of Haringey and its surrounding neighbourhoods, with a particular focus on the Chinese community. Our objectives include fostering cooperation among local authorities, voluntary organisations, and residents to enhance education and provide facilities for social welfare, recreation, and leisure activities. The overarching goal is to elevate the quality of life for individuals, irrespective of gender, political affiliations, religious beliefs, or other opinions. To achieve these objectives, we aim to establish a community centre and collaborate with local statutory authorities for its maintenance and management. Additionally, we strive to cultivate positive relationships in Haringey and its environs by combating discrimination based on race, promoting equality of opportunity, and addressing poverty within the Chinese community through the provision of advice, aid, and assistance. Our commitment extends to facilitating the integration of the Chinese community into mainstream society, fostering community involvement, and promoting cohesion. The policies implemented to fulfil these objectives encompass the provision of information, advice, advocacy, and training. We support vulnerable members by offering appropriate care, providing advice on healthy living, and facilitating referrals to health services. Furthermore, we address social isolation by organising cultural and social activities, along with joint events in collaboration with Haringey Council and other local community organisations to combat exclusion. In alignment with guidance from the Charity Commission, the trustees have carefully considered the activities undertaken by the charitable company. Our centre remains steadfast in delivering a diverse range of services to meet the evolving needs of the Chinese community in Haringey and the surrounding boroughs.
