According to the latest official figures available there are about 26,000 Chinese people in the South West region, though this figure is likely to exclude students studying here, BNO migrants and other migrants.
We have an important and developing role to play within the South West and aims to be a key community resource in the provision of advice and information for the Chinese-speaking population living here.
Our main aim is to break down the isolation suffered by the community as a result of both institutional, language and cultural barriers. We work with individuals to develop their self-confidence and in groups to develop self help.
Many disadvantaged groups such as the elderly, disabled and families on low income, because of language barriers, fall through the gaps in other services and are picked up by us.
By highlighting such gaps in provision we build an important networking link with the existing statutory and voluntary agencies in the area to enable this disadvantaged group to access the services that they provide.
Since its formation the Chinese Community Wellbeing Society has had many requests for help by individuals, statutory and voluntary organisations. We are recognised as an important resource for the Chinese community in our area.
