There are more than 70 programmes run by these organisations aimed at helping the people in need. Programmes and services include soup kitchen, financial assistance, residential care, shelters, befriending, counselling, palliative care, student care, skills training etc. While our main focus is in Singapore, we also reach out to needy groups overseas and respond to disasters like tsunamis and earthquakes.
