Social Transformation
Community-centric Practice in Casework & Counselling
We strongly believe in the power of human connections with every individual and family that comes into our contact. Hence, community-centric practice in casework and counselling is our key intervention tool in supporting our vulnerable families. Of these, more than 80% reside in one- or two-room HDB rental flats, while the rest reside in various housing types, such as transitional shelters and other types of HDB flats.

Community Work & Engagement
We encourage community ownership and co-creation by activating community assets to address the needs and challenges of our community. These include social transformation efforts through the many community initiatives and platforms such as I WISH U ENOUGH annual social movement event in line with the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, Community Garden, Community Kitchen, Goodwill Xchange, Family Partnership Programme, and Learning Kampung.
Community Garden
The Community Garden is a visible expression of community engagement and ownership. Created by a pioneer group of 15 residents in the community, the Garden is run and maintained by these resident gardeners, with support and assistance from SCC. Our garden group also play host to visitors, taking pride in explaining the vegetable crops and herbs, and their involvement with the co-creation and success of the garden.

Volunteer Management & Partnerships
We build a community of people who serve as resources to each other. Our pool of volunteers, comprising of vulnerable families, residents, individuals, students, and working adults (including corporate volunteers and foundation partners), play a part in our poverty transformation work and create a better future for all.
The Gift of Our Volunteers
At SCC, we are fortunate to have our volunteers walk alongside the community as they gift their time, talent, and treasure. We engage volunteers to support our families, encourage volunteers to become sponsors and engage corporate sponsors to give families who do not qualify for existing schemes the additional support that is needed. The tireless contributions of our volunteers are a testament to our larger society’s involvement in our Gift Economy so that communities can have enough.
