Achievements and performance
The following is a report of the services and activities we have provided over the last 12 months:
-
We supported over 1600 individuals with support in health, social and information services.
-
Over 35 households supported by the foodbank service. This service is a life-line to many, in this cost-of-living climate – with the support of Sainsburys and Aldi supermarket.
-
Over 75 people took part in the brain health workshops, discussions and health talks
-
50 Volunteers and community members took part in the Dragon Boat Race, fundraising for the Children’s Hospital Charity.
-
Over 114 Vulnerable people received direct support in accessing health support services, covid and flu jab support, and on-going safety checks, home visits, shopping.
-
We provided 364 cases of health and social support.
-
We provided 135 sessions of activities totalling 1252 attendances
-
18 Volunteers supported and took part in running activities at the centre.
Bilingual Information
We provided on-going translated information of government health and welfare advice the community. Information that the community would otherwise have not been able to access due to barriers in language and culture.
Community Safety
We continue to work closely with South Yorkshire Police, in ensuring that the community is represented in terms of reporting. This close working relationship have allowed us to support the community effectively, especially in cases of hate crime. We also found ourselves supporting the local community in a case where they were not comfortable in reporting an incident. The vicinity of the community centre means we are at the heart of London Road and are trusted and accessible.
Health Talks
The focus this year has been mainly brain health. This topic began with a health talk provided by the Deep End Research Alliance (University of Sheffield). And from here on, we have been involved in a few brain health projects which are detailed below.
PIMMS (Put me into memory service) – PHOTOVOICE Exhibition
This was a project in partnership with the University of Sheffield Deep End Research Alliance. The project involved taking weekly photographs of life living with dementia, over an eight-week period in November and December 23. The ethos of the project was to involve researchers from within the heart of the community - as these individuals would already have the skillset and understanding of its own community. The project involved 8 members of the community who worked with a researcher from the community centre with the support of the Chairperson. At the end of the eight weeks, the photos were collated, and the members shared their stories behind the photos they submitted. The process allowed us to understand the topic of dementia from a different angle. In October 24, the photos were a part of an PIMMS exhibition, together with other communities. Providing a powerful view of life living with Dementia within certain minority groups. Dementia is a topic that has often been misunderstood within the Chinese community, and the concern is the rate of people with dementia from the community is higher than the national average in UK. Much needs to be done to understand why! And brain health has been a focus of the centre’s projects. Leading onto Cognospeak!

Cognospeak
This is a research project led by Devices for Dignity – NIHR HealthTech Research Centre. The project looks at the way Dementia is diagnosed. It currently takes 4 to 6 months for an individual to be put through the memory service for a diagnosis. The research aims to reduce that timeframe to a few minutes involving AI. Our involvement is to engage 50+ participants from the Chinese community for the research. Each participant would be presented with an on-screen AI GP interview, following by paper tests. The tests and interviews are conducted by community researchers, recruited from the Community. We had two researchers conducting the interviews, with a member of the Trustees in a supportive capacity. A total of 50 interviews were conducted, and we completed the interviews in June. It was such a pleasure working with the Devices for Dignity research team. The community have also learned so much about Dementia and brain health through this project. This work has inspired us to continue with more activities encouraging not only physical health but also look after our brain health too. Cognospeak subsequently won an international research award in October. And we are proud to have been apart of this research project that one day will help improve the accuracy and diagnosis of patients from all backgrounds.
Lunar Chinese New Year 2025
We were a partner in the biggest ever Lunar Chinese New Year celebration in Sheffield with various events over 10 days! The event attracted over 40,000 visitors to the city on the new year weekend in January – during one of the quietest months of the year. A weekend of food and market stalls at Fargate and the Peace Gardens, with Acrobatic Lion Dance performances, Multicultural Costume Show, acrobatic, music, dance and cultural show. A charity dinner raising funds for the Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity, was also a part of the celebrations.
Dragon Boat Race 2025
This is our second year of supporting Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity, we took part in this fundraising event in June. The team consisted of volunteers from the local, student and Chinese business community. This involved over 50 volunteers in a community cohesion day of race, food and fun! We managed to raise over £2,600.00 for the charity!
ESEA HERITAGE MONTH
We celebrated the East and Southeast Asia Month in September with a memory day of 30 years of the Sheffield Chinese Community Centre. Participants were invited to bring in old photos of their life in Sheffield. This was a day of story sharing and learning from each other. The photos will form the start of a Memory collection of history of the Chinese Community in Sheffield from the 1900’s.
WESTON PARK MUSEUM
We are excited to be working with the Weston Park Museum to arrange an exhibition – celebrating 150 years of the Chinese community in Sheffield. We are now collecting old photos and artifacts from the Community for the displays. The museum has been instrumental in helping us research and provide historical information and specific dates e.g., the first Sheffield Chinese Takeaway, etc. The community have been a huge support, by lending their artifacts, sharing their stories and photos. A special mention to Clara from the Museum, and Stephanie from Changing Seasons who is coordinating the display, and special thanks to all the volunteers involved in this project. The display will be ready for the public in January 2026.

Centre Refurbishment
Thanks to the Low Carbon Grant which allowed us to upgrade the community centre’s old heating systems, new insulated flooring and double-glazed windows. The upgrade has helped us reduce our carbon footprint and reduce our annual utility costs by over 20%. We have also been successful with the London Road improvement Scheme. This upgraded the frontage of the community centre, and we now have a new bright vibrant look! This upgrade is just intime to celebrate 30 years of the community centre
Weekly Activities
The following are on-going weekly activities at the community centre:
Tai Chi – This activity is run by volunteers. The sessions are attended by the community of all backgrounds, and is a great way to learn about the Chinese culture, whilst bringing communities closer together.
Happy Tea Time – A tea and chat time for sharing and updating. Community members, staff and trustees meet over a drink and snacks over a topic of the community’s choosing. This is also a platform for the community to have a voice, and an opportunity for the Trustees to keep the community informed of updates and news!
Foot Massage – This service is provided by a trained member of the community, who kindly volunteered her time for the centre to her others.
Table Tennis – This activity is led by a volunteer who plays and coaches at the community centre for others of any levels.
Tai Chi Dance – This is an activity that involves coordination and gentle dance movements, for all ages. It is an activity that is good for the body physically and mentally. Also, a great way to connect with others in a fun activity.
Lion Dance lessons and practice – This activity brings together people from all backgrounds to learn a cultural performing art! It is specifically engaging amongst young people of all communities. This is a community cohesion activity that culminates to an annual Lunar Chinese New Year parade and performance for all in Sheffield and South Yorkshire.
Food Bank – Thanks to the support of Sainsbury’s and Aldi, we can support those in need during this cost-of-living climate. Every weekend surplus food is collected and delivered to individuals and families in need. Any surplus is then delivered to the churches in Sheffield.
Many thanks to all the volunteers involved in the above activities! The activities are only possible due to the time, dedication and inspiration of volunteers in their capacity as activity leaders and organisers!

Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month's expenditure (approximately £5,000 - £10,000). The Trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. Free reserves (unrestricted funds excluding fixed assets) held at 31 March 2025 were £42,720 (2023: £57,518).
Note 12 sets out an analysis of the assets attributable to the various funds.
Future plans
We continue to work with the University of Sheffield on funded research projects and this contributes towards the centres staff and running costs. We are also working on two funding applications and these will be submitted in February 26. The trustees consider that the level of funding and reserves held combined with the forecast income and expenditure for the further 12 months, will be sufficient to allow the organisation to continue as a going concern for this time period.
Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The charity trustees (who are also the directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.

-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
