Building a Stronger Chinese Community in Wales

Welcome to the Chinese in Wales Association (CIWA) website! We are a UK-registered charity (charity number 1175444) dedicated to improving the lives of people with Chinese heritage living in Wales. CIWA is community-led and grassroots-based, with our head office in Swansea. As the first point of contact for ethnic Chinese residents in Wales, we aim to provide valuable information, resources, and support. If you have any questions or would like to get involved with CIWA, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Join us in Building a More Inclusive Wales

Connecting, Supporting, and Empowering Ethnic Chinese Residents.

Our mission is to promote community cohesion, support those facing disadvantage, and promote the sharing of both Chinese and Welsh culture and heritage. We offer a wide range of services to meet the changing needs of the Chinese community, including language services, advice, advocacy, an information service, case referral, and social, cultural, and educational activities.

We also offer a variety of volunteering opportunities, student internships, and paid work placements to help young people gain employability skills and work experience.

We are committed to providing a range of services and support to the Chinese community in Wales, and we will continue to adapt and evolve as necessary to meet the changing needs of our members.

Language Services:

Advocacy and Support Services:

These services aim to empower individuals by providing them with the support they need to access their rights and entitlements, and to feel included and connected to their communities.

Health and Wellbeing Services:

Providing physical and social activities that promote wellbeing, as well as the multilingual counselling service. These services aim to promote physical and mental health, and help individuals stay healthy, feel included and connected to their communities.

Community Social groups:

Facilitating social groups for different communities, such as the Autism Support Group, Older People Group, Youth Group, Parents Group, Carers Support Group, and Sports Club. These services aim to provide individuals with opportunities to connect with others who share similar experiences and interests, fostering a sense of belonging and social cohesion.

Cultural Heritage Exchange Programs:

Organising social, cultural, and educational events to promote diversity and inclusion and to participate in the promotion of a multicultural society. These programs aim to celebrate the diversity of different cultures and promote cross-cultural understanding and appreciation.

Capacity Building Programs:
