The British Society São Paulo (formerly British and Commonwealth Community Council - BCCC) is a non-profit institution whose mission is to serve the British community, integrating its organisations and providing dignity to its residents in the state of São Paulo. By dignity, we mean affording social, medical and financial support.

We aim to be a reference to the largest number of organisations linked to the British community in the state of São Paulo, strengthening them both individually and as a group. We believe that in this way we contribute to intensify the sense of identity and belonging of our members.

Therefore, in exercising our activities, we seek total alignment with the following values:

1. Affording shelter

We establish a close connection with those we assist, serving them in a selfless, generous and patient manner, according to our genuine desire to help others.

2. Being open

We aim to create relationships of trust, based on inclusion and openness in the way we manage our activities, promoting partnerships and networking.  

3. Offering solidarity

Non-judgement and the willingness to listen are part of the solidarity with which we relate to the community, and of our perseverance in providing quality service.

4. Being Ethical

Our actions are based on transparency and honesty with the assisted as well as with other members of the community.
