  • To apply funds towards other charitable purpose
 
HISTROY AND CONTEXT
The group has been established since early 60s, run by a group of businessmen. Later on they have registered as a charity group. It developed an elderly luncheon club, the advice centre women group, Chinese supplement school on every Sunday during term time, and then the Leeds University one of the professor from sociology department has contacted Mr. P. Yung in the late 80s to do a survey what the Chinese people want. They want a centre, this is how LCCA has been established. It was Wah Kwong, the Women Group, the Supplementary School, the Chinese Christian Church, the Advice Centre altogether to have regular meeting with the council about the centre. In 1997 Wah Kwong have pulled out from the centre because they discovered the constitution was not fair and the other groups has also left because the chair of LCCA will not change the constitution.

At the present moment, Wah Kwong have not got their own centre, they try to save up to buy a property to be their centre.
