Since 1958, NCSS (and its predecessor organisation, the Singapore Council of Social Service (SCSS)) has accumulated vast experience in leading and enabling social service agencies to offer social services to citizens. This is a rich collection of body of knowledge for learning and can be used to shape the future of social service sector. From 2023, NCSS commenced the documentation of Oral History of Pioneers and Giants and their significant contributions to the social service sector.
“I think whether social service sector or any sector, the individual needs to do some self-examination... what is it that you can visualise yourself doing day in, day out? ”
Dr Gerard Ee
President, NCSS (2002 - 2006)
“Fundraising, I think, is the word fun. F-U-N, not F-U-N-D. It really has to be fun, and people will enjoy."
Ms Woon Saet Nyoon
Director, Community Partnership, NCSS (2005 - 2008)
“We spoke to our agencies and said, who wants to join us? More than 200 joined us. ..We tried, and it surprises me. Singaporeans reacted again shows that we are a true nation that actually want to help. So, it's not (just) ComChest's effort. It is everybody's effort.”
Mr Phillip Tan
Chairman, Community Chest (2013 - 2021)
