Brushstrokes is a magazine of British Chinese writing and drawing, published three times a year, with articles in both English and Chinese. It began in 1995 as an occasional publication of Liverpool City Council's Writing Liaison Office, based at Toxteth Public Library and intended as a service to the Chinese community in Liverpool (the oldest Chinese community in Europe), but it now attracts readers and contributions from throughout the U.K. and even from abroad.

It continues to be supported by Liverpool City Council, as well as more recently by the Chinese Arts Centre in Manchester, but it is produced by a team of volunteers who put it together in their spare time. The magazine's achievements were formally recognised by an Award for Excellence from Liverpool City Council in 1997.

Brushstrokes has the following objectives:

1. Provide a forum for Chinese people living in the U.K. to discuss and reflect on their life experiences.
2. Be a vehicle for literary and artistic expression by Chinese people living in the U.K. .
3. Document the history of the U.K.'s third largest ethnic minority. .
4. Promote mutual respect and understanding between Chinese people of different origins and generations (Chinese people in the U.K. represent a wide range of different cultural backgrounds, attitudes, languages, and education). .
5. Offer an insight into a community which has had a quiet but enormous impact on Britain yet remains largely unknown and unnoticed by the wider public outside the ubiquitous take-aways and restaurants.
