Partnership working remains the main focus of LCCA Ltd's work. For example, we have built an effective working relationship with the Leeds Chinese Women's Group and the Leeds Social Services to jointly run the Chinese Elderly Luncheon Club. The launch for the new social club is planned for the end of this year. We have worked with Touchstone to develop a Healthier Eating Project, which will run for the second year for our communities.

LCCA Ltd endured to be at the front line in promoting a greater understanding of Chinese cluture and community cohesion in the city of Leeds.

In the 2004 Chinese New Years celebration, we invited an art group from China to put on a magnificent show alongside performances from local Chinese schools and local artists. This autumn, LCCA Ltd was a one of the key organisations in coordinating the Leeds China Week. We hosted a Chinese Business Banquet for the first time and provided a unique opportunity for representative of Leeds business community to network with those from our twin city: Hang Zhou.

In order to grow into a financially stable non-profit organisation, LCCA Ltd Board and the Centre Manager has explored a variety of funding streams including local government grants, charitable trusts and commercial and individual contributions. However, despite the enormous effort put into planning and fun raising, LCCA Ltd has not yet managed to secure long term core funding. I hope that in the near future, LCCA Ltd can overcome this major obstacle in order to sustain LCCA Ltd's service to the local communities.

The survival of the LCCA Ltd not only depends on the financial support but also on your involvement. I urge those who are passionate in building a healthier, stronger and more unified locality to actively participate in the future development of our community organization.

主席报告

利兹华人协会一直都为当地社区，尤其是华裔，在提供健康和社会需求服务中担当重要的角色。其表现去年尤为突出。

首先，我要对各位董事和中心经理在去年一年来的对协会的支持和贡献表示由衷的感谢。我衷心希万根多的人能够加入利兹华人协会董事会使协会在将来能有根大的发展。

我同样要感谢所有的志愿者的辛勤工作，感谢协会成员的珍贵支持，感谢利兹市政府和其他赞助机构的经济支援。

友好合作一直是利兹华人协会开展工作的核心。例如，我们和利兹妇女会，利兹社会福利署建立了高效的工作关系，将在未来共同组织管理利兹华人老年俱乐部。我们还和Touchstone一起开展了健康饮食项目，这个项目明年将继续开展下去。

利兹华人协会一直力争于提高中国文化认识和加强社区协会合作的最前线。在2004年的中国新年庆祝活动中，我们邀请了来自中国的艺术团和利兹本地学校学生和艺术家们，为我们带来了精彩的演出。今年九月，利兹华人协会是组织利兹中国周的主要写作团体之一。我们首次主持了中国商务晚宴，为利兹个商业组织代表同我们的兄弟城市：杭州，建立网络关系，提供了一个难得的商业机会。

为了保持协会运行资金的稳定，协会董事长和中心经理衣襟挖掘了一些不同类型的资金来源包括当地政府资金，慈善资金，商业和个人资助。然而，尽管我们在计划和筹集基金方面做出了很多的努力，协会暂时还是没有能够设法取得长期稳定的基础基金。我希望在不久的将来，利兹华人协会能够克服这个主要的困难来维持中心对当地社区提供的服务。

利兹华人协会的存亡不但取决于资金上的支持，也在于各位的参与。我衷心希万各位积极参与我们社区团体将俩的发展，致力于建立一个更健康，更强壮和更有凝聚力的华人社区。
