About Vietnamese Family Partnership
Vietnamese Family Partnership (VFP), is a London-based charity that brings together the Vietnamese community from across the UK. We believe that we are stronger together and that understanding our cultural identity is key to fulfilling our life potential. We act as a pillar for the community through our support and advice services, Vietnamese language lessons and regular cultural events, such as our flagship Lunar New Year event.
Core Values
Identity : We help people to (re)connect with their Vietnamese identity and explore Vietnamese culture, whether they’re overseas Vietnamese, British born or just have an interest in Vietnam and its culture/history.
Community: We provide a safe space for those with a passion and interest in the Vietnamese culture and heritage to come together and feel like they belong, while helping them integrate and navigate into wider society and utilise local services to help them integrate into local communities.
Diversity & Inclusion: We welcome and respect people of all ages, backgrounds and beliefs. While some of our services are geared towards the Vietnamese diaspora, we are inclusive and will help where we can; where we are unable to assist for whatever reason, we may be able to signpost to alternative local services which may be better equipped to help.
Your Impact
A. Languages and Culture classes
10 Vietnamese classes on the weekend and Monday afternoon with a total of 128 students

B. Support and advice service
Supporting 453 members of our community (271 females and 182 males) across a range of issues such as mental health, loneliness, family, education support.
C. Annual Events
Working with over 100 volunteers all helping to serve the community. Over 3000 people attended the Lunar New Year celebration and 1000 people attended the Mid Autumn Festival.
D. Beneath the Non la
Reached 158 members of the community over 10 workshops. Through this piece of work we provoked a sense of pride in Vietnamese people currently settled in London, as well as welcomed those who have newly arrived or are just visiting, by seeing themselves represented in the fabric of the city. Our project nurtured a strong, connected Vietnamese diaspora where children, young adults, elders and families thrive in the wider British society.
The workshops gave us an opportunity to engage with different groups in the community and we engaged with many organisations and worked in collaboration for future events. It took us quite a while to create the Vietnamese hat and used it as a tool to consult participants about their opinions.
After the success of the project, the Untold Stories continue to fund us towards the Gtown and make the Non la project happen. The primary aim of the new piece of work is to create an artwork to spotlight and celebrate Vietnamese communities in London.
E. Public art project
VFP, in partnership with London-based The Museum of the Home and Albany, is planning a Deptford-based public art project. We hope that this project will help people of all backgrounds to see different areas and communities a little differently; to know that, behind particular facades, whether it’s a building, a street, or a row of shops, there are long histories of immigration, labour, family, and community.
