The company was incorporated in January 2020 as an organisation providing community support services to members of the Southeast and East Asian (commonly referred to as East and Southeast Asian – ESEA) communities. The company sees itself as a welcoming home to migrants, refugees, and anyone of Southeast or East Asian heritage in the UK. Its core missions include: 1) Systemic Change, 2) Inclusive Society, 3) Equity and Rights, and 4) Livelihood and Mobility. Carrying these missions, during the 2025-2026, the company continued to deliver its core support services, which are free and culturally sensitive one-on-one wellbeing counselling services, holistic casework support and signposting services in areas such as, welfare, employment, mental health and wellbeing identity-based hate and discrimination, immigration, and housing, and peer support groups in multiple languages, helping families face socio-economic and wellbeing challenges. The company also supported youth and families through a blend of community engagement, including peer-support groups and wellbeing activities, creative workshops, skills development, and community events that reduce isolation and strengthen connections. As a result, over the past year the company has: Provided 95 individuals with casework support across areas including employment, welfare, housing and wellbeing; Delivered free culturally sensitive mental health counselling to 50 individuals and group therapy to 30 community members; Organised 26 community workshops and activities, reaching around over 200 communities through wellbeing, creative and skills-based activities; Brought together more than 200 people at its first Homegrown cultural festival; and Promoted inclusive and just policy through community-led research and advocacy, including submissions to the UK Government on issues affecting migrant communities.

As a migrants-led organisation, the company's work has been continuously guided by the lived experiences of our communities, board of directors and staff. All SEEAC Board of Directors and staff are members of ESEA communities, and 80% are first-generation migrants themselves, while others grew up in migrant families; hence, they bring a lived experience of the challenges of integrating into UK society. SEEAC's project management cycle, which comprises 4C approaches (Connect, Co-design, Collaborative implementation, and Consultation and reflection), also reflects how SEEAC reaches and connects with communities and their leaders, actively listening to their perspectives on the subject matter, co-designs activities that closely relate to their everyday needs and what matters most for communities, collaborates with community centres and other corresponding organisations and community groups, and continuously consults and reflects on our activities with migrant communities to learn more from their experience and feedback. During 2025 and 2026 alone, SEEAC conducted two community feedback surveys to gather feedback from communities on the activities and services delivered by the company, their relevance to community needs, and to gauge ideas from the community themselves, allowing them to participate in the design of our activities. SEEAC also hosted four board of directors meetings to consult and seek advice on priority and strategic areas that require attention and improvement. SEEAC’s research activities applied participatory methods, in which members of communities play active roles to support the research design, inform research findings, and steer the company’s advocacy. SEEAC also collaborated with academicians, UK-certified therapists, professionals, and allies, as well as with other like-minded organisations, to design and deliver services, and to run strategic campaigns and advocacies for systemic change.
