Every action makes a giant difference
Here's to Our Volunteers
The Ministry of Social and Family Development has designated 2024 as the Year of Celebrating Volunteers (YCVolunteers). This is to recognise and celebrate the contributions of volunteers in the social sector and beyond.
The YCVolunteers campaign aims to continue to promote a strong giving culture in Singapore, as we strengthen our social compact and build our shared future together. Beyond creating impact on those they serve, volunteers also gained personally from the
experience. The impact will grow when volunteerism is more structured and we are moving beyond ad hoc efforts to sustained impact.
Everyone has a part to play to build a caring and inclusive society. We invite individuals and corporates to start their volunteering journey today and work alongside MSF, volunteer organisations, including social service agencies, to experience the joys of volunteering by contributing your skills and time today.
Show your support by adopting the Celebrating Volunteers profile frame.

Far'ain & Syafiq
Spreading their love through foster care
Now fostering their fifth child, the couple find their greatest reward in watching their foster children blossom and rediscover the magic of play. Through the bittersweet rhythm of growth and goodbyes, it’s the strength in each other and support they appreciate.
Mr & Mrs Patil
Helping families find support
Amidst the flurry of vaccination appointments and worried faces in early 2022, the couple stepped up as Families for Life (FFL) volunteer leaders at Children Vaccination Centres (CVCs). Providing bright smiles and Becky Bunny badges, they transformed the atmosphere from nervous to playful. Continuing their volunteering journey with FFL, their energy was contagious, like a sprinkle of pixie dust that made everyone eager to give back.
