Honouring Traditions
Embracing Growth
The Secretariat of British Chamber of Commerce Vietnam, started as a luncheon club in 1991, was first licensed in 1998 as the British Business Group Vietnam (BritCham Vietnam). We were the first ever Foreign Business Group to obtain formal recognition in Vietnam. The BritCham Vietnam has now evolved into the British Chamber of Commerce Vietnam which is affiliated with the British Chambers of Commerce in the UK and around the world.
Today, we are a community of more than 500 members, whose names mean world class reputation. The Secretariat is a dynamic and professional team, who are dedicated to promote our members’ business interests in Vietnam, through various business, social, charity and advocacy events and activities.
very year, the team works hard to secure funds for charity. Over the history of our operation, the Secretariat has raised more than VND 20 Billion to support education, healthcare, people at disadvantages, and wildlife protection. Our tradition of giving back to the community is something we honour and will keep working on.
Looking into the future, BritCham Vietnam continues our legacies and looks to expand the horizon of providing stronger supports to our members, adding more values to the community, and being the top influencer in the business network between Vietnam and the UK

🥇 BRITCHAM FUN RUN – RUN FOR VIETNAM 2020! 🥇
Since 2000, we have raised more than VND 11 billion to benefit charities throughout Vietnam. We welcome 10,000 participants annually and this year will be one to remember!
Our Fun Run this year will be held both in Ho Chi Minh City (15th November) and in Hanoi (29th November). We are excited to welcome representatives from the British Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City and several Vietnamese celebrities that you might recognise.
The generous support of over 30 partners and sponsors has allowed us to secure 2 billion VND, and with your participation, we are hoping to raise even more money to support the most vulnerable in Vietnam – many of whom have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. 100% of your donations will be distributed between 4 areas: Healthcare, People with disabilities, Education and Wildlife protection.
Our fantastic event allows you to have fun, get fit and most importantly, to help disadvantaged groups in our community. Your involvement means more to us than ever this year.
Please find the official information of the BRITCHAM FUN RUN – RUN FOR VIETNAM 2020 below:
We can’t wait to see you all there!
