Hi Everyone,

I hope you are enjoying the lovely weather!  

I want to invite you to the KCA Fundraiser Fair on 13 July, 2025 (Sunday) and hope you can come and support us. 

Why are we raising funds?  KCA is 22 years old this year but is now under threat. Since COVID, our rent has been going up and up and we are now losing £4000+ every year. If this continues, KCA will be finished in a few years, meaning no dancing, singing, cooking classes, no mahjong, day trips, GuZheng, Tai Chi, no Chinese New Year or dumpling festival. Nowhere to meet and get together. 

Kingston Council cannot support us like they used to so we must do something!  The KCA committee volunteers our own time and energy to make community events happen; others provide food or supplies. If you can’t do either, we need your financial support. 

Sadly, nothing is free anymore. If you want KCA  to continue, please come along, enjoy the show that some of our wonderful members are putting on. Have some fun, be generous and spend some money.  If you cannot make it on Sunday, we are also happy to take donations via bank transfer made to:

Barclays Bank

Account name: Kingston Chinese Association

Sort code: 20-46-76

Account: 5013 3116

Please mark " Donation for KCA rent" in the Reference Section of your bank transfer. This will enable us to recognize your generosity and will thank you directly later.

In addition, an audited financial report about the fundraising result will be made available for public access.

Let’s keep KCA running so that we can do more together!

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Clinton Choi, Chairman

Kingston Chinese Association (KCA
