Investing in the Community

APSN Katong School & Barclays
Barclays employees serve as Physical Education (PE) buddies, supporting students with special needs at APSN Katong School.

Together, they participated in endurance-building activities, relay and ball games, where students improve interpersonal skills, develop physical fitness and experience joy."

SG Cares Original Unveiling: A Remarkable Launch Celebration!

On 13 January 2018, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong inaugurated SG Cares at Our Tampines Hub. The event was additionally graced by Minister Grace Fu, Minister Desmond Lee, Minister Heng Swee Kiat, and Ex-Speaker Tan Chuan-Jin, marking the launch of the SG Cares App. The invited guests had also visited the "A Good Thing" exhibition, highlighting the altruistic efforts of everyday heroes.

Singapore Cares (SG Cares) is a national movement launched in 2017 to build a more caring and inclusive home for all. The movement invites all Singaporeans and people who live in Singapore to put values into action through active volunteerism, ground-up efforts, and everyday acts of care. As part the SG Cares community network, companies, social service organisations, schools and grassroots organisations, are able to collaborate and contribute to caring, so as to make lasting changes in the lives of others, and causes that they believe in.

A key initiative under the SG Cares movement is the appointment of SG Cares Volunteer Centres (VCs) across the 24 towns in Singapore to match interested volunteers and contributors to community needs. The SG Cares Volunteer Centres provide a convenient way for Singaporeans to contribute as volunteers in their community, enabled by the SG Cares Community Networks.

If you are interested to volunteer in your community, get in touch with one of the SG Cares Volunteer Centre.
