CIAC's Mission

Our mission is to ensure that disadvantaged people of Chinese ethnic origin in the UK have access to high quality advice, information and support. We believe that people are disadvantaged if they face economic, linguistic, or cultural barriers which prevent them from properly accessing mainstream services in the UK. We provide specialist services on legal and social welfare issues, and develop an information service to support organisational development, policy, and research relating to the Chinese community.

What We Offer

CIAC offers disadvantaged Chinese people free legal advice and representation on immigration and nationality law, as well as domestic violence support. We also provide advice and support to refugees and asylum seekers. We also undertake information development work, supporting other people and organisations working within the wider Chinese community.

Languages and Dialects

Our staff are able to work with service users in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka, Shanghainese, Malay, and Fujian.

Office Hours:

Monday to Friday: 10.00am to 6.00pm We are closed on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank holidays Helpline: 08453 131 868
