Last week, VFP had the privilege of visiting St Christopher's Hospice to learn more about their compassionate palliative care services and wider community support programmes.

Our community members were introduced to valuable services including wellbeing support, planning ahead, information guidance, and practical advice for families and individuals facing difficult health journeys. For many of our Vietnamese members in London, this was their very first experience learning openly about palliative care and the support available within the UK healthcare and community system.

The visit created meaningful conversations, reduced fears and misunderstandings, and helped raise awareness about the importance of early support, wellbeing, and informed planning for ourselves and our loved ones. Many participants shared that they found the session extremely useful, beneficial, and reassuring.

At VFP, we believe that information sharing and community connection are essential in helping our community feel more confident accessing services that can improve quality of life and emotional wellbeing.

A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful team at St Christopher’s for welcoming us so warmly and helping us build stronger understanding within the Vietnamese community in London. Together, we continue creating bridges of support, care, and awareness for our community.

We are incredibly honoured to receive this Certificate of Recognition from and for VFP’s contribution to the Violence Against Women and Girls Grassroots Fund over the past 2 years.

Our mission has always been to create a safe, connected, and empowered community where every voice is heard and every person feels supported. ❤️

This recognition is not only for VFP as an organisation, but for every volunteer, supporter, partner, and community member who has stood alongside us throughout this journey. Together, we continue to break silence, build confidence, and create positive change for future generations.

Chúng tôi rất vui và vinh dự khi nhận được lời mời từ Ban Tổ chức Áo Dài Fashion Week 2026 💫

Tại Hội Gia đình Việt (VFP), chúng tôi luôn trân trọng những sáng kiến góp phần tôn vinh và lan tỏa văn hoá Việt Nam trên trường quốc tế. Áo dài không chỉ là biểu tượng của vẻ đẹp thanh lịch, mà còn là niềm tự hào về bản sắc và di sản của cộng đồng người Việt.

Thật truyền cảm hứng khi thấy một sự kiện ý nghĩa như vậy được tổ chức tại London — nơi kết nối văn hoá, sáng tạo và cộng đồng. Chúng tôi mong muốn được tìm hiểu thêm và đồng hành cùng chương trình trong thời gian tới.

Chúc Ban Tổ chức nhiều thành công trong quá trình chuẩn bị! 🇻🇳✨

At Vietnamese Family Partnership (VFP), we truly value initiatives that celebrate and elevate Vietnamese culture on the global stage. Áo dài is not only a symbol of elegance, but also a powerful expression of identity, heritage, and pride within our community.

It’s inspiring to see such a meaningful event bringing together creativity, culture, and connection — right here in London. We look forward to exploring ways to engage with and support this wonderful celebration of Vietnamese heritage.

Wishing the organising team every success as preparations continue! 🇻🇳✨

Thanks to Sophie and Roxanna from Meet Me at the Albany for visiting our weekly luncheon club. Members had fun making stuff, including knitting and boards...and savoring Bun cha ca.

VFP is delighted to share the success of our second collaboration with King’s College Hospital!

Together, we supported 30 more community members in accessing Hepatitis B & C testing—bringing the total to 67 tests delivered so far. This initiative helps provide peace of mind, with results available in just 15 minutes after testing.

We’re proud of this impactful partnership between our charity and the hospital, working together to improve community health and wellbeing.

An important update for our community!

The UK is securing its borders by imposing some of the strictest immigration laws in Europe. Government enforcement has increased significantly, with record numbers of removals and new reforms designed to speed up the process even further.
- Nearly 60,000 illegal migrants and foreign criminals have been returned since the election – up 31%.
- Illegal working enforcement is at an all time high
- 2025 saw over 9,000 arrests linked to illegal work, and
- 12,750+ enforcement visits took place across the UK

Entering, staying, or working in the UK without legal permission carries major legal, financial, and personal risks. Our latest video breaks down immigration enforcement changes, the challenges people face without legal status, and where to find trusted
information and support.

Watch now to stay informed and share with your family and friends to help ensure this message reaches those who may be considering dangerous routes. Every conversation could help prevent the exploitation of vulnerable people through criminal networks and potentially save a life.
