HCSA Highpoint Hari Raya 2025 Celebrations 🎊

Earlier in April, HCSA Highpoint celebrated Hari Raya 2025 with a lively evening attended by 120 people, including Highpoint residents, alumni (AIMS), and their families.

The celebration featured activities like games and performances, to a fun-filled photo booth! One notable highlight was the Dikir Barat performance by the Highpoint Residents. This was the first time in while that the residents had put on their own performance. Their families thoroughly enjoyed watching the show, especially seeing the residents` enthusiasm and joy on stage. The photo booth was another highlight, with everyone posing with props and embracing the fun 🤩

Thank you to everyone who joined us—and a special shoutout to the residents for putting on a fantastic performance!

Often, upon their release from prison, some individuals may be without a home to return to or may have minimal to zero income and support for their families, prompting an urgency for these needs to be met. HCSA Highpoint provides support for ex-offenders in these circumstances, assisting them in their endeavour to secure employment and long-term housing.

In 2024, your support made a difference in the lives of our Highpoint residents. Be it championing for them, volunteering, or donating—every action counts.

Keen to contribute to this cause? Donate to our Everesting for Second Chances campaign focused on supporting ex-offenders! Link here: https://www.giving.sg/donate/campaign/everesting-for-second-chances-2025 ...

🎉 Celebrating New Beginnings & Strong Connections 🎉

On 1 March 2025, HCSA SPIN hosted its inaugural Graduation Lunch, marking a meaningful moment for our single parents who have strengthened their resilience to provide and care for their families. It was a heartfelt occasion where 8 graduates were joined by 4 leaders of our Solo & Strong alumni community to gather and celebrate the turn of a chapter in their lives and the exciting start of their next chapter as proactive social supports for other single parents.

From touching personal stories to meaningful connections, the lunch served as a reminder that no one has to navigate their journey alone.

A huge thank you to NannyPro for providing complimentary childminding services, so parents can fully enjoy this lunch, knowing their children are in good hands.

The journey doesn’t end here—it’s only just begun! 🌱💪

🌟 A Powerful Step Towards a Compassionate Future 🌟

We are honoured that our Board President, Dominique Choy, had the opportunity to meet with Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat at the Singapore Volunteer Management Conference 2025. At the event, Dominique represented HCSA and received the Project V Appreciation.

Project V is a corporate volunteering programme enabling companies to engage in regular, sustained volunteering at scale. Through this initiative, we`ve endeavoured to keep our volunteer programmes engaging by organizing a wide range of activities including food-making, calligraphy, and a mix of indoor and outdoor events. This approach helps maintain interest while fostering meaningful participation.

This initiative also enhances our corporate partner, C&W Services Singapore`s, volunteer recruitment efforts, providing an avenue for their organising committee, volunteers, and beneficiaries to form deeper connections. Moreover, this partnership further underscores how a shared sense of purpose can drive positive outcomes for the communities in need.

Volunteers are the backbone of many social service agencies, including ours. Their dedication ensures that those who need help are not only supported, but empowered to thrive. Hence, we couldn`t agree more when DPM Heng and other leaders highlighted the profound impact of regular volunteerism in building stronger, more resilient communities.

As part of the ongoing effort to create a sustainable volunteer ecosystem, DPM Heng reaffirmed the government`s goal to make volunteerism a consistent, long-term commitment for many. This vision aligns with our own at HCSA, where we strive to create lasting change through sustained efforts and collaboration with both individuals and corporate partners.

We are immensely grateful to all our volunteers, partners, and supporters—your commitment is making a tangible difference every single day. Together, we are working to build a future where everyone has the opportunity to succeed and contribute to a stronger society. 💙

Every child deserves the right support to grow, learn, and thrive. 🌟 However, single-parent families may struggle with limited access to resources and enrichment opportunities for their kids. The children may also feel abandoned or grieve their missing parent, feel different from their peers from two-parent households, and contend with their self-identity and family roles — particularly if they lack a father figure. Some children may also have to step up to be a caregiver for their younger siblings and take on additional household chores, limiting their social interactions.

That’s why HCSA SPIN provides counselling, group tuition, and homework support, ensuring that children get the academic help, emotional guidance and encouragement they need to gain resilience and stay motivated. With a safe space to express themselves and the right people to support them, children can build confidence and unlock their full potential—because no child should have to struggle alone.

When children feel heard, supported, and empowered, they flourish. ✨ HCSA SPIN is here to walk this journey with them, every step of the way.

📚 Support that nurtures. Guidance that empowers. Hope that lasts a lifetime.

A Disney on Ice outing for HCSA Dayspring and Spin 💫

On 20 March 2025, 16 young female trauma survivors from HCSA Dayspring and 8 single-parent families from HCSA SPIN had the chance to experience Disney on Ice, thanks to the generous support of Singapore Pools.

This event, featuring a magical Disney-themed dance performance on ice, was a special treat during the March school holidays — and highly anticipated by our Dayspring residents along their journey of healing, as well as young children who were not only entertained but also bonded with their single parents.

Collaborating with like-minded partners like @sgpools allows us to provide our service-users with enriching opportunities that foster growth and positivity. Thank you for helping us offer this meaningful experience to our clients. 🙏
