mic and commercial, administrators and private. We have an active management committee, many hard-working volunteers, and dedicated full-time and part-time staff. Whatever your function, I want to say 'thank you' for your support and contribution to LCCA. All your efforts are invaluable and without your commitment and hard work, LCCA could not exist.

During the past year, LCCA, as before, has been fulfilling its mission of service to the Chinese community and also enabling it to be better integrated into the wider community. We have organised diverse activities and offered a wide range of services. In February, we held our Chinese New Year celcbrations in the West Yorkshire Playhouse - a hugely enjoyable and successful occasion. More recently, in September, we held our Mid-Autumn Business Dinner, an event designed to bring Chinese and British business together, to develop friendship and cultural exchange. In Chinese health advice services, we are continuing to work with Touchstone to promote healthy living and to improve access to the National Health Services. In elderly people's welfare, we continue, in partnership with Leeds Chinese Women's Group, to run a twice-weekly Luncheon Club. In education and training, we continue to run classes in English and Mandarin. Our centre manager has been successful in obtaining funding from the Local Network Fund to enhance the unity of the Chinese community and we are continually seeking ways of working co-operatively with otherorganisations. Above all, we always try to do our best to serve Chinese people and the Chinese community.

LCCA is still facing financial difficulties. We still need to find a stable long-term financial basis for our work. Our greatest asset is the support and dedication which so many bring to this Association. My greatest wish is that we can all continue to work together to develop LCCA, to build up a healthy, auspicious, strong and united Chinese community.

主席报告

今年，利兹华人协会走过了她的第十个年头。这是艰辛的十年，也是值得骄傲的十年。这十年走的辛苦，是因为我们一直没有得到长期稳定的基础基金，但值得骄傲的是，即使如此，我们仍然通过不懈的努力，在缺乏资金，缺乏人力物力的情况下，为华人社区提供了丰富多彩的活动及多方面的服务，也为当地英国社会做出了很大的贡献。

在此，我代表利兹华人协会，向那些为协会付出过的各政府机构，社会团体及各界人士致以衷心的感谢！我们得到多方面的支持，这当中有中国人，有英国人；有年轻人，有老年人；有政府官员，有学者，以及方方面面的置业人士；当然也baok广大的协会会员，社区华人和当地的热心人士。我们有一个积极有效的管理委员会，有许多热情努力的义务工作者，也有忠于职守的工作人员。无论是谁，我都要感谢大家一直以来对本协会的支持和付出。没有大家的支持和努力，就没有利兹华人协会的今天。

在过去的一年，利兹华人协会一如既往，奉着为华人社区服务，为华人融入当地社会而努力的宗旨，坚持不懈地为华人社区及当地社会组织各种活动，提供各方面的服务。今年二月，我们成功地在Yorkshire Playhouse举办了大型的庆新春活动，受到各界的好评。今年九月，我们又再次出色地举办了中秋商务晚宴，为中英双方的经济往来牵线搭桥，为促进双方的友好交往添砖加瓦。在华人健康服务方面，我们继续获得Touchstone的相关项目，为华人提供健康问题讲座和咨询服务。在老人福利方面，我们继续与妇女组合作，共同搞好每周两次的老人午餐会。在教育和职业培训方面，我们仍然举办各种不同类型的学习课程，如英文半和普通话班等。此外，我们在中心经理的努力下，申请了Local Network Fund的一个支持华人青少年的项目，为华人青少年组织丰富有益的课外活动。我们积极参与由市政府牵头的，旨在寻求利兹各界华人的相互合作的，组建利兹华人社区论坛的事物。我们一直保持与各界的友好合作，为服务华人，服务社区尽职尽力。

利兹华人协会走到今天，仍然面临着资金短缺的问题，仍然需要寻求一个长久稳定的资金来源。但更重要的是，各方各界人士的大力支持和积极参与。利兹华人协会的生存和发展，有赖于大家的支持和努力。我衷心希望大家能搞同心协力，共同把利兹华人协会搞好，共同建造一个健康，祥和，强盛和有凝聚力的华人社区。
