Description of Organization

Singapore Red Cross is a homegrown humanitarian organisation, dedicated to relieving human suffering, protecting lives and dignity and responding to emergencies since 1949. We serve the vulnerable through our blood donor recruitment programme, home and day activity centre for the disabled, elder aid, transport aid, family life aid, community health on wheels and community first aid. We build capacity and resilience through our training academy, and volunteer and youth development. Beyond our shores, we mobilise and translate contributions from the donor community to relief and recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts, with the aim of helping communities affected by disasters.

Intended use of funds through the YFC 2023 programme

Funds received will go towards funding the Singapore Red Cross’ local programmes. The programmes will provide aid to our local vulnerable communities which includes the elderlies living alone, persons with disabilities, low-income families and the overlooked.

Engaging and involving the YFC participants

SRC is open to invite interested teams to visit our different programme functions. SRC can arrange for the team to visit to the Red Cross Home for the Disabled, help out at our Social-enterprise Shop, befriending with seniors, learn about first-aid and other activities.
