The charity carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The trustees consider that these activities, summarised below, provide benefit both to those who uses our community centre and the wider community of Leicester and neighbouring cities.

Great Central Community Association is a charity committed to the educational support and providing free complementary education programs for people in Leicester area. We champion and serve the primary goal advancing the education of the public in the subjects of English Language, Life in the UK and several ethnic languages. We strongly believe that this will promote social friendships and strong interpersonal skills in the future. Only through good personal relationships that requires good language skills, people can develop mental and moral capabilities to achieve their goals in life.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

The supplementary educational support out of school hours which is provided by our community members and teachers on a voluntary basis act as crucial information and advocacy points for adults as well as children in our region. The language courses we provide are designed to improve the level of English of those who struggle to communicate and educate. Our programs aim for raising aspirations and engagement that are essential components to remove the language barrier hence reducing failures in the classroom or at work.

We provide a program that is in direct response to the growing number of young people that are failing to develop the necessary communication skills because either they do not have advanced English language skills or understanding of the culture and social norms in the UK. We focus primarily on young people with the aim of advancing community development through language and cultural education. The focus is slightly different at each level but the goal remains the same; prepare and empower the young person to make positive changes in his/her life.

Our Purposes and Our Aim

Great Central Community Association is being established to provide supplementary education, place and materials in Leicester area for young people who are struggling in formal education due to language barrier, tradition etc.

Great Central Community Association setup three distinct mentoring programs: Language courses: This will focus on developing language skills of young people who needs additional support in language skills. The language courses we provide are designed to improve the level of English of young people who struggle to communicate and educate.

Homework support: Some young people need support due to falling behind in their studies. Our volunteer teachers provide homework support and materials to those who are in need of supplementary study support.

Leisure and sport activities: People at every age group need leisure and sport activities to develop friendship and social skills that will improve their confidence in communicating to others. These extracurricular activities are essential part of the program to practice the language and communication skills young people develop at the classrooms. Sports, along with enhancing health and fitness, would enable people especially young people to use all their senses and by choosing sports in their lives, young people can not only become physically stronger but also emotionally tougher.

Our aim to:

We do this by following:
