About Us
We are a dedicated team of students who host an annual event to support the Blue Dragon Children's Foundation, a charity committed to combating human trafficking in Vietnam. In addition to our event, we operate a year-round clothing store that plays a crucial role in our fundraising efforts, having raised nearly £100,000 for the cause.
Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation is based in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, and is focused on expanding its efforts nationwide, particularly into Ho Chi Minh City, which faces significant challenges with human trafficking. Our annual event provides essential support, helping to build a strong and reliable foundation for Blue Dragon’s work in protecting vulnerable children.
Our co-founder, Arthur, embarked on this journey in 2023 after an invitation from Tissot to visit Vietnam, where he had a life-changing experience. During his collaboration with Blue Dragon, Arthur met Vi, a former street child whose story profoundly impacted him. Inspired by this encounter and a moving moment shared with the children, Arthur committed himself to making a difference. Partnering with Tissot, he envisioned an annual fundraiser in England that would offer students a unique cultural experience while supporting this critical cause. His goal is to revolutionize student events by fostering cultural exploration and rallying support from 20 diverse schools, creating an unparalleled impact.
Tissot’s connection with Blue Dragon spans years, beginning with his involvement during secondary school and evolving into more recent volunteer work directly with the foundation. It has long been his goal to make a lasting contribution to the charity’s mission, spreading awareness globally. Together, he and Arthur developed the plan for an annual fundraising event in England, involving students from schools across the UK. Through this initiative, Tissot hopes to further raise awareness of Blue Dragon’s work while creating a student-led network that drives change both locally and globally.
