Last Thursday, VFP had the wonderful opportunity to visit to learn more about palliative care services, wellbeing support, and planning guidance available to our community.
For many Vietnamese community members in London, this was their very first experience learning about these important services. Members found the visit useful, reassuring, and beneficial, helping raise awareness and confidence in accessing support when needed.
Thank you to the amazing team at St Christopherâs for welcoming VFP so warmly and helping us continue building stronger community connections through information sharing and care. đ

Our latest Bamboo Dance workshop was a hit! đ Watching our younger generation connect with this traditional Vietnamese dance is so inspiring.
It wasn't easy at firstâlearning the grip, timing the jumps, and keeping the rhythm. But as we always say at VFP: Confidence is a process. From hesitant first steps to full-speed dancing, everyone embraced the challenge and, most importantly, had a brilliant time doing it. Check out these highlights of our future stars in action! đĽđ

VFP is delighted to share the success of our second collaboration with Kingâs College Hospital!
Together, we supported 30 more community members in accessing Hepatitis B & C testingâbringing the total to 67 tests delivered so far. This initiative helps provide peace of mind, with results available in just 15 minutes after testing.
Weâre proud of this impactful partnership between our charity and the hospital, working together to improve community health and wellbeing.
