: It’s now almost two years since the radical restructure of LCCA as an umbrella organization which admits Chinese charitable organizations in Leeds with similar aims and objectives. Despite the fact that there is no direct funding and support from Leeds City Council and no paid workers, LCCA continues to deliver services to the community by all our volunteers. In 2007, LCCA successfully organised a Charity Luncheon at Maxi’s Restaurant to celebrate the Chinese New Year and provided summer educational activities and outings for all its member organizations.

It also continues to facilitate the elderly Chinese Luncheon Club which is run by the Leeds Chinese Women’s Group in the Leeds Chinese Community Centre (LCCAC). The LCCA Centre remains the focal point and an alternate base for the Leeds Chinese Community School and the Yuk Ming Chinese Operatic Art Centre. Musicians and dancers come here to practise singing, dancing and playing Chinese instruments. It is so important that we can continue to provide the community a base in which they can learn and develop our much valued arts, culture and tradition, which we are all very proud of.
Therefore on behalf of the LCCA Board, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers, sponsors, businesses and individuals who have donated generously their time and financial support to LCCA.
LCCA is looking forward to working with all of you in the community for many years to come.

主席报告
利茲華人協會差不多用了兩年時間去重組﹐集中所有相似的目標的華人慈善團體成為協會成員之一。雖然協會沒有得到利茲市政府的經費和幫助和受薪員工﹐ 本會亦能夠靠義工作者繼續提供服務。
在2007協會很成功在利茲美心大酒樓舉辦新春慈善午餐﹐和提供夏日教育性活動給所有協會成員。協會亦租出場地給婦女會管理的老人午餐會用膳。協會亦都是利茲華人中文學校和鈺鳴軒曲藝社的聚會的地方。音樂家和跳舞家都在協會練習唱歌﹐樂器和舞步。因為是很重要的協會能夠繼續提供場地去弘續和擴展我們的文化﹐傳統的習俗﹐所以是我們所有人值得驕傲的。
我代表協會委員會﹐藉此機會感謝所有義務工作者﹐贊助商﹐商業和個人將他們寶貴的時間和金錢奉獻給和支持協會。
利茲華人協會期待日後與各位能夠攜手合作建設未來。
