About Us

At Singapore Children's Society, we help protect and nurture children and youth of all races and religions, especially those who are abused, neglected, and/or from dysfunctional families. Each year we reach out to about 66,000 children, youth and families in need.

Established in 1952, the needs of our children have changed over the years. Since then, our services have evolved to meet their needs. Today, we operate islandwide to broaden our reach via the six service categories of: Caregiving, Preventive, Developmental, Remedial, Community and Public Education.

Our People

Singapore Children’s Society is managed by an Executive Committee. As the highest policy and decision making body, the Executive Committee has the ultimate responsibility of ensuring that the Society is governed, and managed responsibly and prudently.

There are also five standing committees working hand in hand with the full time staff in the areas of Appeals, Information & Corporate Relations, Research and Advocacy, Social Work Service and Sunbeam Place (Children’s Residential Home). The Executive Director heads a staff strength of 125 comprising mainly of counsellors and social workers.

All committee members are volunteers of Children’s Society, and come from diverse backgrounds such as education, law, healthcare, business and more.

Our Code of Conduct

With 10 centres and offices across the country, we need to streamline our practices and processes. This is imperative so that we will continue to meet the high standard of governance, achieve more without compromising our conduct and at the same time, not slowing things down through unnecessary bureaucracy.

The establishment of a Code of Conduct will move Singapore Children’s Society to another dimension of corporate governance, accountability, transparency and sustainability. It will become our yardstick and operating parameter to conduct ourselves before all our beneficiaries, stakeholders and the public. The Code represents the commitment of Children’s Society to conduct its activities and operations lawfully and ethically to the highest standards possible.
