Our Children’s Charity Services
Singapore Children’s Society is a charity organisation that is established to protect and nurture the welfare of children and youth across all genders, cultures and religious beliefs. Our programmes and services revolve around our 4 service categories below, which aim to provide preventive and rehabilitative services for our beneficiaries. Certain circumstances can sometimes hinder children and youth from achieving their goals in life. Thus, our children’s charity organisation aims to foster opportunities for children and youth by ensuring the availability of safer living environments, access to education, proper nutrition and more.
Our children’s charity organisation believes every child should have a voice and deserves to grow up in a healthy and conducive environment, free from neglect and abuse.
Our charity organisation strives to provide the best support for children, youth and families in need, in order for them to realise their full potential. We are committed to advocating for the welfare of children and youth, as well as building bridges of opportunities for our beneficiaries
Vulnerable Children and Youth
We provide fundamental care and guidance for children and youth who have been abused and/or severely neglected. Where suitable, and with each child’s best interests at heart, we collaborate with families to provide safe, stable, and permanent care.
Some children experience abuse and neglect in the early stages of their lives, which can cause them to feel helpless and vulnerable.
As a children’s charity, we carry out programmes and services tackling the issues the vulnerable children and youth face while helping to raise awareness and build a better world for them to live in.
Children and Youth Services
We care, nurture and inspire children and youth, to complement what their parents and guardians provide. Our children’s charity believes that every child and youth deserves to be in a secure environment that is equipped with the basic necessities. Their needs will evolve as they grow and as a children’s charity, we aim to help them by providing support to build up the skills they might need to realise their full potential.
Our charity organisation strives to build a safe environment for our children and youth to express themselves freely and have a voice.
Every child deserves access to proper education, as this will pave the way to a brighter future. Our children’s charity supports initiatives advocating the emotional, physical and psychological health of the children. We want to provide a holistic environment for the younger generation to thrive in.
Family Services
We support and strengthen families in need by working together with them to overcome a wide variety of challenges, including financial struggles, employment issues, and more. As a children’s charity organisation, we understand how important it is for a child to grow up in a secure and nurturing environment. It is essential for every child to have strong family support that they can depend on.
Some examples of our support include providing financial assistance, food rations and counselling support. We aim to provide continued support to these families and help them to build a safe and secure foundation, thus enabling them to live a fuller life.
Research and Advocacy
We are a voice for our children and their future. Our children’s charity constantly strives to meet the evolving needs of children, youth, and families in need in Singapore. Challenges to the well-being of children, youth and families remain, and continue to emerge in new forms. It is important for our preventive and developmental work in the community to continuously evolve so as to meet the changing needs of those we serve and advocate for. Guided by our research findings and observations from the ground, our charity organisation will continue to improve our programmes and services to stay relevant and make their lives as meaningful as possible.
