About the Project Creator
FORVIL is short for “Federation of Refugees from Vietnam in Lewisham”.
FORVIL is a charitable voluntary organisation, serving the local community since April 1992, the centre acts as a focal point for Vietnamese elders and carers, where they can gather and receive mutual support. Since then FORVIL has developed more and more services to meet the needs of not just elders and carers but also of other members of the Vietnamese community, helping to connect the community with local services such as the NHS and providing translation and language support.
