About us
Organisational Philosophy: Through activities, education, and exhibitions related to arts, culture, and language preservation, Lightime CIC aims to unite and engage the Hong Kong community in the UK, fostering a strong Hong Kong identity across different age groups. The organisation strives to establish a solid foundation for Hong Kong culture in the UK, emphasising values such as diligence, resilience, cooperation, and determination, while passing on the spirit of perseverance and hard work to future generations.
Goals: Bringing Life Closer. Improving the Community by Art & Culture.

Service Orientation: Lightime C.I.C., based in Manchester City, was established on 17 November 2021, to bring the next generation into contact with the history and culture of Hong Kong through different artistic, cultural, historical, and educational activities, thus preserving the spirit and culture of Hong Kong and inheriting it to next generation.

We offer well-being support by helping Hong Kong newcomers build up their sense of belonging to the community, exploring employment opportunities, and providing information on arts and activities that both Hong Kong newcomers and Manchester residents can enjoy.
