✨🏠 AIMSpace: A New Hub of Connection & Hope ✨💛
On 23 Aug, alongside the 6-year anniversary of our AIMS alumni support group, we proudly launched AIMSpace — Singapore’s first dedicated community space for former halfway house residents and their families! 🎉
Officiated by Assoc Prof Dr Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim and attended by Dr Wan Rizal, the launch welcomed over 160 guests who came together to celebrate this milestone.
More than just a space, AIMSpace is a safe harbour where our alumni can go deep, grow, and connect. From therapy sessions to workshops to family activities, AIMSpace supports holistic reintegration through our PATHS framework (Personal Growth, Achieving Families, Thriving Careers, Housing Stability, Strong Community).
🙏 A big thank you to our volunteers, partners, and alumni ❤️ who made this possible. Together, we’re building a future of belonging, support, and second chances.

🧡 Together for a Hepatitis C-free Singapore! 🧡
On World Hepatitis Day (28 July), we marked a significant milestone with the signing of an MOU between HCSA Community Services and Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) — a renewed commitment to eliminate Hepatitis C (HCV) among former drug offenders in Singapore.
Under the Educate, Test, Treat! (ETT) initiative, this partnership will make HCV screening more accessible by offering saliva-based testing (no blood draws needed!) and connecting those in need with specialist care, treatment, and community support.
With the support of partners like Gilead Sciences and Tzu Chi Foundation, we aim to screen up to 600 individuals from now till end-2026 — empowering more lives with second chances and better health.
👏 Special thanks to Mdm Rahayu Mahzam, Minister of State, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Digital Development and Information, for witnessing this meaningful moment.
Every step brings us closer to our goal: accessible healthcare, restored dignity, and renewed hope for ex-offenders. 💪

On 6 June, 21 volunteers from Hongkong Land spent the day at HCSA Dayspring, paired with 19 of our Dayspring residents for a vibrant mix of hands-on activities and connection.
The main activity? Painting a wall mural along the admin block, guided by a mural artist. The goal was to complete the base layer, with a mural artist returning to add the final touches after the paint dries. As the wall could only accommodate half the group at a time, the sessions were split in two batches. While one group painted, the other played pickleball outdoors or made beaded accessories indoors.
🍔 Everyone, both volunteers and Dayspring residents, gathered for lunch and shared conversation across the table. The Dayspring girls were also treated to snacks and sweet treats sponsored by Hongkong Land, rounding off the experience on a joyful note.
To round off the day, volunteers heard more about the broader work of HCSA Community Services, and then about Dayspring`s impact in supporting young girls on their journey to healing.
Thank you, Hongkong Land (@hongkong.land) , for bringing your energy, warmth and colour to our community. 💫

A day celebrating love. 💍❤️
For the first time in HCSA Highpoint’s history, four couples from our AIMS programme exchanged their vows in a beautiful and emotional ceremony — surrounded by friends, fellow alumni, and a whole lot of joy.
Their journeys have not been easy. Their love has been tested and challenged — but they chose to stay. To grow. To forgive. And to love, again and again.
From a walk-in to Can You Feel the Love Tonight, to heartfelt vows, a cake-cutting, laughter-filled Q&A, buffet, and photos to remember it all — it was a day that reminded us what commitment really looks like.
Here’s to second chances, enduring love, and new chapters. 💫

Scaling Heights for Second Chances 🏔️🚴♂️
On Saturday, 28 June, we held an exciting satellite event for our Everesting for Second Chances fundraising campaign! 💪
Cyclists from all walks of life gathered at Mount Faber, each aiming to climb 8848m (the elevation of Mount Everest) by cycling up and down the hill. ⛰️🚴
Cheered on by supporters, 11 individuals completed their full Everesting challenge that day, with the fastest finisher completing it in an incredible 16 hours! 🎉 Huge congratulations to them, and a heartfelt thank you to every single participant and supporter who showed up and gave their all. ❤️
Your sweat, spirit, and solidarity are helping to give ex-offenders a second chance at rebuilding their lives.
If you’d like to support this cause, you can donate at: secondchances.sg/donation
You can contribute to a participant, a team, or donate directly to HCSA Community Services.
Thank you for journeying with us and helping us reach our goal of raising $350,000. 🙏 Together, we can help ex-offenders on their path to reintegration.

Learning Journey with Pre-University Students: Real Stories, Real Impact
HCSA Community Services hosted 24 pre-university students, along with their facilitators and teachers, for a learning journey organised by the National Council of Social Services (NCSS) 🙌
To kick things off, we brought the students on a walkabout tour of our spaces. Along the way, they heard from our programme heads about the work we do and the communities we serve 💬🏘️
📚 One highlight of the day was our Human Library segment. For this, we wanted the students to get a real and honest look into the journey of reintegration, so we invited a couple of our staff members who were former offenders to share their stories. We were lucky to have one of our long-serving team members join us as a human library. He was actually a former resident of HCSA Highpoint back in 1998! He shared his powerful story of transformation, from his time at Highpoint to the life he has built today. The students were invited to ask our human libraries anything, and they sure did — posing inquisitive and, sometimes, tough questions that led to some very worthwhile conversations.
It was great to see the students so engaged and curious throughout. We love to see young minds curious, driven by a genuine interest to learn and understand. 💡🧠
A big thank you to NCSS for putting this learning journey together and for inspiring the next generation of social service professionals! 💛

HCSA SPIN held our very first social gathering for our alumni group, Solo & Strong! 💪
12 amazing parents and their little ones came together for a day of connection, laughter, and new friendships. 💬🍽️🎈 It was heartwarming to see new alumni mingling with seasoned ones — chatting, bonding, and letting the kids have a blast (almost like one giant playdate!). 🛝
One special moment? Two parents who met at the event ended up forming a friendship. What made it even more touching was that one of the parents isn’t fluent in English — but that didn’t stop them from forming a real connection nor their kids from playing and having fun with each other. This just goes to show the power of community, understanding, and mutual support. 🫶🌏
With 57 members actively engaging, our Solo & Strong alumni group is only getting stronger! We’re so grateful to all our SPIN parents for building this beautiful community with us. ❤️
