ISHA's Vietnamese community join Tết celebrations

ISHA residents, and other members of the Vietnamese community celebrated Tết together with delicious Vietnamese dishes followed by a lively Lion dance, traditional dancing and music.

We were pleased to sponsor the event, where over 100 people took part in festivities!

Chuong is one of our Outreach and Support Officers and is originally from Vietnam himself. He got stuck in promoting the party to our residents and getting them involved in the festive fun.

We partnered with the Community of Refugees From Vietnam organisation to help support the community in continuing to celebrate the Year of the Snake together.

We've been working together with the Vietnamese community for years, and there's still a great need for support. We help support them in being independent, and we're able to help residents maintain a sense of community, which they might otherwise lack.

Many residents have lived in the UK for decades, but it's still important that these communities receive culturally sensitive services. Together, we've celebrated Lunar New Year (or Tết, as it's called in Vietnam) on many occasions and will continue to do so.

We have a proud heritage of providing homes for Vietnamese and other Southeast Asian communities in London with the Housing Association Lien Viet.
