我們的使命

The London Chinese Community Centre (CCC) was founded in 1979 by Dr Abraham Sek Tong Lue. As the Vice Dean at King’s College and a volunteer teacher at the Chinese Language School in Euston, Dr Lue saw an increasing number of parents come to him for advice and assistance in translating letters from schools, councils and doctors. Upon realising there was a growing demand and need for support services for the Chinese community, he decided to create the CCC, the first Chinese Community Centre in the UK. The CCC was officially recognised as a charity in 1980 and saw approximately 1000 people passed through its door during its opening year. Over the last 45 years, CCC supported more than 50,000 people. In the past 20 years alone, the CCC secured claims of over £29m in benefits to assist those in need. Since its founding, the CCC has become one of the busiest of its kind in Europe and has attracted support from the Royal Family, Westminster City Council, the Metropolitan Police, the local Soho community and many other partners. Following Dr Lue’s vision and determination, the Chinese Community Centre opened in the heart of London’s Chinatown and has been serving Britain’s Chinese community for over 40 years.
