Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

1. Languages and Culture classes

2. Support and advice

Supporting 453 members of our community (271 females and 182 males) across a range of issues such as mental health, loneliness, family, education support. 3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.
