SUPPORT US

Volunteering is an excellent way to become more involved in the community and to gain valuable skills.

We are currently expanding our communications team and looking for voluteers who are interested in media, social media, photography, design, and translation(Chinese and English). Some basic training will be provided.

If you’d like to volunteer your skills or time to help us, please email us at contact@chinesewelfaretrust.org.uk

Your regular gift will help us build up the vital funds we need to run support services that are tailored to the needs of our target beneficiaries. 

In the next twelve months we will be:

-- working with more Housing Associations to expand our culturally sensitive Chinese-speaking floating support service to London boroughs outside of Westminster (we current work with Soho Housing Association)

-- developing our Small Grants Scheme to assist other Chinese community organisations with their elderly outreach support service

-- launching pilot projects with the national charity, Contact the Elderly, to expand their befriending service to the Chinese elderly population in Chinatown as well as in East London to help them combat loneliness and build meaningful social contacts

As a charity we rely on a steady stream of income to help us plan and launch more services that will benefit the disadvantaged and elderly in our community. We believe the Friends Scheme will help us do just that.

It is secure and convenient to sign up to the Friends Scheme online.
