Chinese in Wales Association (CIWA) is a charitable organisation which aims to deliver services that will make a positive difference to the lives of ethnic Chinese residents in Wales.

CIWA was set up to meet the changing demographic needs of the Chinese community in Wales. CIWA has its headquarters based in Swansea which provides core services, including language services in Mandarin, Cantonese and English. As well as, advocacy and case referral.

Based on our capacity, we also advise on local welfare, housing, healthcare, education and employment. Organise social and educational activities, and participate in the promotion of a diverse, multi-cultural society.
