About Us
HCSA Community Services is a charitable organisation with Institution of a Public Character (IPC) status and a member of the National Council of Social Service. HCSA operates with a team of dedicated staff, volunteer teams, corporate and community partners, as we continue to serve the vulnerable in society, to give them a future and a hope. Our mission is to empower these vulnerable populations through our four signature programmes:
We provide a safe and substance-free residential shelter at HCSA Highpoint for homeless male ex-offenders and those in recovery from addiction
We offer a caring, safe and therapeutic environment at HCSA Dayspring to help teenage girls who have suffered the complex trauma of emotional, physical or sexual abuse
We support caregiving and improve the quality of life at HCSA SPIN for single parents and lone caregivers who lack or have limited emotional, physical or practical support
We equip vulnerable individuals at HCSA Academy with professional skills to secure stable employment in the F&B industry, giving them a new lease of life to support themselves and their families
HCSA Community Services traces our beginnings to 1996, when an informal support group for recovering drug addicts led to the launch of Highpoint Halfway House. HCSA was then registered as a society on 12 March 1997, and registered as a charity under the Charities Act 1994 on 6 February 1998. HCSA has been accorded IPC (Institution of a Public Character) status since 1 October 2021. HCSA’s governing instrument is our Constitution.
