WELCOME TO THE BRITISH CHINESE SOCIETY WEBSITE
 
BCS (British Chinese Society) is an organisation that tries to bring together the members of the Chinese community in London through social events, we promote Chinese culture and language, and we raise money for charitable causes in the British Chinese community. Thank you for visiting our website. Everything you need to know about us, including how the society is run and how you can join us, is all contained here.
 
All aspects of the running of the society, from management, organising events, fundrasing activity, and upkeep and maintenance of this website, is performed by a group of unpaid volunteers who donate whatever spare time they have for the benefit of its members and the wider British Chinese community. If you are interested in volunteering a little of spare time in help run the society, we'd love to hear from you.

BCS Dragon Boat team
Sunday 27th June

 

The BCS will be entering a team once more for the annual London Chinatown Lions Club Dragon Boat Festival. This year, the BCS are competing to raise money for the Chinese Mental Health Association. Come and cheer us on and witness the BCS Phoenix take on the might of big corporate crews, scratch crews and maybe one or two professional teams.

Dragonboating is a fun and exciting team sport so this promises to be another cracking day. Look out for our crew (come and say hi!), enjoy the food and lion dances, and the best part of the deal is, it's free to watch!

*Our training sessions are kindly being supported by Thames Dragons. Check out their website if you are interested in their open days and trying out the sport throughout the year.

Should you wish to help raise money for the Chinese Mental Health Association by sponsoring our team, please drop us your details to social@britishchinese.org.uk, with the subject heading 'Dragonboating - Sponsorship' and a member of the fundraising team will be in touch.
