Through the years, the YWCA has been a pioneer and catalyst in meeting the needs of Singapore’s society
through her community involvement and the development and enrichment of women’s lives. This year,
the YWCA celebrates her 140th anniversary, making for a timely occasion to reflect on the journey that
the Association has had since its founding in 1875.
The cover of this year’s Annual Report features the illustration of a tree. The YWCA has achieved profound
growth in 2014 as we continue to fulfill our mission to advance the development of women and girls in
body, mind and spirit, and benefit the community.
The fruits of the YWCA tree are thus the growth and expansion of our programmes, services, social
enterprises and the organisation as a whole. Therefore, the spirit of the YWCA still burns as brightly
as it did 140 years ago as we carry out the meaningful work that our founders started by serving the
community. Our core values of service, compassion, commitment, respect and teamwork have formed the
branches that have facilitated this growth.
It is only because of the zeal and fervor of all those who support the work of the YWCA that we have
been able to better serve the community and do justice to the young women that worked tirelessly to
establish the movement in the early days. Hence, the success of the YWCA is made possible with the
unwavering dedication and support of our members, volunteers, donors, partners and staff. They are the
lifeblood of the organisation, the strong roots without whom we would be unable to continue growing
in love and service.
This year is a significant year for Singapore as she celebrates her 50th year of independence. As Singapore
develops and prospers, the YWCA will continue to grow and adapt to the ever changing, dynamic needs
of the society whilst living out our motto “By love serve one another”.
President’s Message
President’s Message
2015 marks the 140th anniversary of the YWCA of Singapore and we will celebrate 140 years of service to the
community starting on 23 April 2015. Our celebration will be carried out in various programmes and activities
throughout 2015. The past 140 years have seen the growth of the YWCA from 1875 when the YWCA was started
by Ms Sophia Cooke; growth in size as well as in our community services and the numbers of our volunteers and
corporate partners.
The past year was challenging for our two social enterprises; the childcare and hospitality sectors. Moving forward in
2015, our staff and volunteers will be further challenged. We obtain revenue from our social enterprises to fund our
community projects. We ended 2014 with a surplus of $2.4 million, a drop of 29% from 2013. Some of the reasons
for this are the increased spending on community services (an increase of 37% compared to 2013) and the tough
and competitive business environment. Both our Childcare Centres and Fort Canning Lodge face tough competition
in their respective industries and we have worked hard in 2014 to meet the challenges which will continue to be
present in 2015.
Our community projects have expanded as the number of beneficiaries under Sustenance for Families and Mealson-Wheels for the elderly and children have increased and extended to other areas in Singapore. We have extended
our Meals-on-Wheels programme to persons with disabilities. We have started YWCA House, a hostel for young girls
who are caught in the cracks and have expanded our services to help children and youth with our various educational
and life skill programmes. We also plan to embark on an integrated service for children with special needs.
Since the YWCA was formed in 1875, emphasis has been on women, youth and children. Our founder Ms Sophia
Cooke strongly believed in improving the status of women and children and education for women and girls. This belief
is strengthened from year to year by each generation. As
I look back at the work done by the YWCA, it is clear that
the YWCA has continued Ms Cooke’s beliefs and continues
to serve the community with love and compassion.
Through the years, the YWCA responded to the needs
of the community. Society is constantly changing and the
YWCA responded to the changes in society’s needs and
will continue to do. As the oldest women’s organisation
in Singapore, the YWCA has proved to be relevant and
able to meet the needs of the community, having lasted
so long and still going strong.
All that the YWCA has achieved through the years would
not be possible without the support of the members,
volunteers and staff as well as the generous donations
from our donors. The teamwork between and amongst
the Board members, volunteers and staff, between our
Association and our corporate partners and all who shared
our vision and mission, has contributed to the success of
our projects and programmes.
I wish to thank everyone who contributed in some way to
the YWCA; those who have given their time and talents,
and those who believed in our vision and mission and
who share our motto “By love serve one another”.
Tan Kee Leng, PBM

Chaplain’s Message
Chaplain’s Message
50 years ago, a song was written that had as much relevance as it has to today. It was written by Hal
David with music composed by Burt Bacharach. The first lines of the song go like so;
“What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of.”
We live in a world starving of love. If there was a little more love, innocent people would not be killed as
tools of blackmail and we would not be reading about violent murders and suicides in our neighbourhoods.
If there was a little more love, we would not act in ways that tear our relationships apart and there would
not be so many broken families amongst us. It is ironic that the more we clamour for love, the more we
are estranged from love.
Many of us intuitively know that the way to experience love is for us to love first, yet we find ourselves
unable to do so. In our brokenness, love eludes us.
God knows that and so He first loved us. When we respond to God’s love, we are then empowered to
love each other. That is why the Bible says in 1 John 4:19 (NLT), “We love each other because He loved us
first.” To bring more love into our love-starved world, let us bring one another to the God who first loved
us. And when we have experienced His love, we will be set free to love each other.

About Us
The YWCA was founded out of love, and her work continues to be an expression of love, an inspiration
and exhortation to everyone to experience the love of God. I applaud the motivation
behind her tagline – “By Love Serve One Another”. As we serve others with
love, we bring a little of the perfect love of God into our sometimes cold,
dark world.
The next lines of the song by Hal David/Burt Bacharach go like this:
“What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone”
God’s love is not just for some; it is for everyone. Everyone needs
God’s love, including you and I. His love has been freely poured
out – have you accepted it? I thank God that the YWCA and
her community work continue to represent God’s love well.
In the days to come, may she persevere in being a beacon
of love and hope to a hurting world.

Registration and Compliance
Reserves Management Policy
The YWCA of Singapore (the “Association”) is a voluntary welfare organisation and registered as a Society
under the Societies Act on 17 February 1961. She is also recognised as a Charity under the Charities Act
on 29 October 1984 and an Institution of Public Character (IPC). The IPC status of YWCA allows donors
to enjoy tax deductions for donations.
YWCA targets to maintain an optimum level of operating reserves, which is equivalent to three years of
its budgeted expenditure, from surpluses generated through its social enterprises. These reserves will be
the source of funding to ensure that the Association’s beneficiaries and the needy in the community will
continue to receive assistance in the event when donations dry up or during an economic downturn. This
will create sustainability and continuity of the programmes run by YWCA.
The YWCA is governed by its Constitution and is in general compliance with the Code of Governance
for Charities and Institutions of Public Character issued by the Charity Council, Charities (Institutions of
a Public Character) Regulations and Charities Act and Regulations. The overall governance level of the
Association has been rated strong in a governance review carried out by Deloitte & Touche under the
commission of the National Council of Social Service in August 2008.
Board of Management
The YWCA is governed by a Board of Management whereby Board Members are made up of volunteers
elected according to her Constitution. Being the highest level policy and decision-making body of the
Association, the Board of Management has the ultimate responsibility of ensuring that the Association is
well-managed and delivers her charitable objectives.
The Board of Management comprises of the President, two Vice Presidents, Honorary Secretary, Honorary
Treasurer and other elected Board Members. All Board Members serve a two-year term. Board Members
who have served in the same position for four consecutive years are not eligible for re-election for the
same position. Board Members cannot serve on the Board for more than twelve consecutive years as an
elected member.
Auditor
In addition, the Association also maintains a capital replacement fund for large scale asset renewal and
has designated funds for training and major projects. This allows the Association to focus her fundraising
efforts to raise funds for her programmes.
Investment Policy
The Finance & Investment Committee oversees the investments of surplus funds. The Investment Policy,
as approved by the Board of Management, is constantly reviewed to allow for flexibility according to the
market environment. Prudence and good stewardship are exercised in relation to the investment of the
Association’s funds with a view to generating reasonable returns with a minimum amount of risk.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board of Management to assist the Board in fulfilling its
responsibilities for the financial reporting process, the system of internal controls, the audit process and
compliance with laws and regulations.
Whistle Blowing Policy
The accounts of the Association are audited annually by a Public Accountant appointed by voting members
at each Annual General Meeting.
The Whistle Blowing Policy of YWCA aims to provide an avenue for employees to raise concerns. The
Policy offers assurance that the employees will be protected from victimisation for whistle blowing in
good faith.
Conflict of Interest Policy
The Policy covers issues where the following may be suspected:-
The YWCA has a Conflicts of Interest Policy which is based on the general principle that Board Members,
Committee Members and staff should act in the best interest of the YWCA and there should be no vested
or personal interest or interest of third parties. This policy is applicable to Board Members, Committee
Members and employees who may be able to influence the decision-making process. Board Members
and Committee Members will make a formal declaration at the beginning of each new term to comply
with the Conflicts of Interest Policy. All employees (non-Support staff) will make a formal declaration at
the time of signing the letter of offer for employment and subsequently on an annual basis. Details of
the policy and situations in which a conflict of interest may arise are stated in the declaration form for
reference.

as possible and refrain from discussion and decision-making pertaining to the matter.

Highlights of the Year
YWCA Flag Day 2014
The YWCA had another successful and fruitful Flag
Day on Saturday 20 September 2015.
06
Highlights of
the Year
With the tremendous efforts of 300 volunteers and
staff island-wide, funds were solicited from the
public. Operation centres were set up at Ang Mo
Kio MRT Station, Pasir Ris MRT Station, Jurong East
MRT Station, Velocity and YWCA Fort Canning
Lodge.
A hefty sum of $36,090.06 was collected from
the streets and along with donations from the Lee
Foundation, Binjai Tree Foundation and several
generous individuals, the YWCA Flag Day totalled
up to $74,131.79. All proceeds will be channelled
towards sustaining YWCA’s community services
as such Hungry No More, Kids’ Club, Workz-onWheels, Youth Centre and YWCA House.
The YWCA is indeed blessed with wonderful staff,
volunteers and donors. We are eternally grateful
for their dedication and concerted effort to play a
part in serving the community.
Cook-Outs
Cook-Outs have become a regular Corporate
Social Responsibility programme between the
YWCA and our regular partner, UPS Singapore. In
2014, the YWCA held four Cook-Out sessions with
participation from a hefty 134 volunteers. These
occurred in March, July, September and October.
Through the combined effort from YWCA staff
and UPS corporates from various departments,
we managed to bless over 300 beneficiaries from
our Meals-on-Wheels for Children and Elderly
programmes with a healthy, sumptuous and
wholesome Saturday lunch each session.
The programme has helped to foster and enhance
both inter-organisational and intra-organisational
21
22
relationships between UPS and the YWCA as all work together as a team in order to complete everything
to be delivered to the homes and schools by lunchtime. Furthermore, the Cook-Outs provide a meaningful
platform for all involved to partake in something special with their colleagues, friends and even kids, and
thus bond in a different environment outside of the office. Thus with each person playing a different role,
the sessions enhance cooperation and teamwork for a good cause.
In 2015, the Association aims to organise and hold a massive Cook-Out event with a large group of
volunteers for a larger pool of beneficiaries, to celebrate our 140th Anniversary and the opening of our
then newly renovated Adult Day Centre.
Kids’ Club Christmas Party
The Kids’ Club Christmas Party in 2014 took on
a Hawaiian theme for an even more celebratory
mood for the 300 beneficiaries and guests at the
YWCA’s biggest annual children’s event. The event
was held on 20 December at the Fort Canning
Lodge and blessed by many donors who covered
all costs for the traditional Christmas Wishlist,
Bursary Awards and food. Ms Sue Mayuzumi, from
authentic hula studio Kupono Lani along with her
“wahines” (ladies) and “keikis” (children) students
stepped in to perform a hula dance segment as the
featured performance.
Besides them, many vendors also gave charity
discounts; our expert balloon sculptor sponsored
all her balloon artworks; the Portraits of the People
campaign travelled to the Party; and star emcee
Ms Vivienne Tseng, who was also involved last
year returned to enliven the stage despite being six
months’ pregnant.
Other highlights of the party included a Hawaiian
photo booth with games, a bouncy castle,
sponsored candy floss machine, Christmas origami
craft and performances from the Kids’ Club
beneficiaries on ukuleles and with their hip hop
dance teachers. The YWCA also recognised 40
disadvantaged children for the Bursary Schemes
and another 10 for the character value-driven Kids’
Club Awards with Ms Tan Kee Leng, President
of the YWCA, and Board Member, Ms Foo Chek
Chiang, handing out the prizes.
It was a truly miraculous Kids’ Club Christmas Party
with so many kind souls coming together to make
the event a highly memorable and meaningful time
for the beneficiaries and all those involved, full of
true “aloha” (love).
Muzikalthon 2014
The biennial YWCA Muzikalthon was held on
Saturday 16 August 2014 at Fort Canning Lodge’s
Sophia Cooke Ballroom. It was a fun-filled day
packed with much joy, laughter and smiles. The
event was split into two concerts featuring a total
of 35 performance acts. There were a great variety
of performers who entertained the audience by
singing, playing musical instruments and dancing.
Children and staff from all our Children Development
Centres, groups from NPS International School and
individuals all stepped forward to perform. We
were privileged to have Ms Lily Goh, winner of the
2014 Singapore Woman Award and proponent for
deaf arts, who performed as part of the YMCA
Deaf Generation, present to use sign language to
“sing” two songs for the audience.
Outside the ballroom, there was a mini carnival of
The event was a huge success and the total amount
raised was $68,687.07, largely surpassing the goal
of $50,000.
Year-End Charity Fair
The YWCA of Singapore was invited to a year-end
charity fair organised by the Singapore Workforce
Development Agency (WDA) and Lifelong Learning
Institute (LLI) as part of their Corporate Social
Responsibility efforts on Monday 8 December
2014, 12pm to 4pm. The charity fair served as a
platform for charity organisations to raise funds
and promote awareness of their respective causes.
The fair was attended by staff from WDA and LLI,
as well as companies located in the vicinities of the
LLI and SingPost Centre.
The YWCA was privileged to also receive assistance
from WDA staff who volunteered their time to
assist in the set up and sales of the merchandise.
We were able to raise a total of $702 from this
charity event.
ComChest Orange Day 2014
Community Chest organised a mass beach picnic
under the Care & Share Movement on Saturday, 6
September 2014. This community event brought
together over 1,500 individuals consisting of
corporate volunteers, student groups, voluntary

food stalls, game booths, face painting and balloon
sculpting. Many also visited our White Elephant
Thrift shop, which sold an array of second-hand
steals ranging from apparels to household items.
welfare organisations, beneficiaries, caregivers and
members of the public. The YWCA set up a booth
to sell homemade goodies, raising $842.
Minister for Culture, Community and Youth, Mr
Lawrence Wong, Guest-of-Honour for the event,
graced the community event and participated in
forming the biggest heart using picnic mats.
Aside from food stalls, the event included carnival
activities such as a treasure hunt, sandcastle
building, pony rides and entertaining performances.
Through this event, Community Chest aimed to
inculcate caring and sharing among the community
in Singapore.

Volunteers’ and Donors’ Appreciation
Night
The YWCA held the annual Volunteers’ and
Donors’ Appreciation Night on 31 October at the
Sophia Cooke Ballroom in Fort Canning Lodge. The
event was celebrated by 133 guests, together with
our Board of Management and staff. A series of
enjoyable and exciting activities were lined up such
as a photo booth, popcorn machine, candy floss
machine and even a caricature booth!
During her welcome speech, President Ms Tan Kee
Leng shared that our volunteers have given over
9,000 hours of time and service to the YWCA in
2014. To show our heartfelt appreciation to our
volunteers, we put together a ‘Thank You’ video
which featured volunteers in action during our
different programmes and events.
A sumptuous buffet dinner was prepared and
the guests were kept entertained by a ukulele
performance by our Kids’ Club children, followed
by dance performances by children from McNair
and Bishan Child Development Centres (CDCs)
and teachers from Jurong CDC. Ms Tan and 1st
Vice President, Ms Tsoi presented certificates
of appreciation to regular volunteers and the
YWCA Board and Committee Members. It was
a wonderful evening well spent with a pool
of dedicated volunteers and donors who have
generously given their invaluable time and talents
to our programmes throughout the year.

as coaches. The students commenced their six months internship in October.
Community
“Fort Canning Lodge will remain focused on developing and
growing our familiar market segments, namely that of the Christian
community, churches, the government sector, selected corporate
clients and travel agents.”
Operations
2014 was a challenging year for Fort Canning
Lodge (FCL) as we faced a tougher market with
more new hotels and F&B outlets opening during
the year. Competition was stiff as consumers were
presented with a wider choice of accommodation
and event venues.
Nevertheless, we achieved a revenue of $10.39
million against the budget of $11.59 million. With
prudent spending and careful management of
operating expenses, the net operating profit was
$4.03 million.
To stay competitive, FCL introduced ‘staycations’
and special seminar packages at competitive rates.
During 2014, FCL also introduced a weekend high
tea and dinner to provide more F&B options to our
members and guests. Furthermore, to foster closer
business relationships, we hosted a dinner for our
corporate clients to thank them for their support.
To expand the reach of our services, we linked
up with new partners such as the Automobile
Association of Singapore (AAS), the Eurasian
Association of Singapore and Diners Club in certain
promotional products that were of interest to
members.
Service Upgrading
We completed the upgrading of the hostel’s MicroFidelio Opera Property Management System in
2014. This new computer system has facilitated
27
faster guest check-ins, tracking of guests’ visit
history and the generation of reports on sales and
catering. The user-friendly interface has helped to
reduce paperwork and improve productivity.
To enhance our guests’ experience during their
stay, we initiated a replacement programme for
the fan coil units for 130 guest rooms that have
become noisy due to wear and tear. This project
will incur an estimated $500,000 and is due to be
completed by April 2015.
Staff
The Fort Canning Lodge staff participated in the YWCA community programmes by providing logistic
support and venue arrangement. In 2014, we supported two movie screening events for our beneficiaries
on the Meal-on-Wheels programme. Around 120 elderly beneficiaries and volunteers enjoyed a special
movie screening at the Sophia Cooke Ballroom, followed-by a sumptuous lunch. Additionally, the YWCA
Kids’ Club Christmas Party was held at FCL on Saturday 20 December, with 150 children in attendance.
With games and food, they all had had a fantastic time.
Our staff also contributed with their involvement in YWCA fundraising events such as Muzikalthon and
the annual YWCA Flag Day.
Looking Forward
2015 will be another challenging year. Approximately 6,000 more hotel rooms will be added in Singapore
this year, adding to the ever competitive marketplace.
Fort Canning Lodge will remain focused on developing and growing our familiar market segments,
namely that of the Christian community, churches, the government sector, selected corporate clients and
travel agents.
As Singapore will be celebrating her 50th year of independence this year, the lineup of activities will attract
more visitors to the country. In accordance, we plan to seek further opportunities to enable more visitors
to enjoy our hospitality.
Staffing is a continuous challenge with the current
tight labour market conditions in Singapore and
the implementation of more stringent foreign
workers policies. FCL continued to operate below
the necessary headcount in all departments in
2014.
One of our strategies in meeting long-term staffing
needs was to be a host to ITE’s industry attachment
programme. Its successful implementation in FCL
will ensure a steady annual supply of graduating
students from ITE’s School of Hospitality Services
who are grounded in hospitality operations,
concepts and processes. ITE was approached in late
2013 and we are pleased that FCL was accepted as
one of the hosts in 2014 for industry placement.
As such, two students from Higher Nitec in the
Hospitality Operations Programme were selected
by FCL for placement as interns, serving primarily at
the Front Office. To ensure success of the industry
placement, a structured coaching programme and

been our key focus as we strongly believe that
a qualified workforce is the first and necessary
step to improving the quality of Early Childhood
Education.

special needs in their classes. Certified ESU staff
who have attended the LLLI and HANDLES will
be conducting in-house training sessions in June
and December 2015 for teachers and principals
under the Integrated Child Care Programme. As
these programmes are designed to improve both
typical and atypical kids’ cognitive and language
processing skills, in-class demonstrations will also
be conducted in an ICCP centre.

New Projects and Programmes In 2014
Admin Consolidation
As of September 2014, the Preschool Division
is organized into three units - Operations,
Administration and Curriculum. The Operations
Unit oversees the daily operations at our ten CDCs
and Kindergarten. This division is headed by the
Preschool Manager who is assisted by two Senior
Principals, both with many years of experience in
running centres. The six Administrative Officers at
the Administration Unit manage all administrative
duties including weekly on-site visits to their
appointed centres to assist the Principals in the
centres’ administration. The Preschool Manager
31
also works with a Senior Curriculum Specialist
and two Curriculum Specialists to provide a
comprehensive preschool curriculum for all our
centres. We are in the process of sourcing for a
General Manager to head this division.
Joy For Reading Programme (JRP) - Story
Telling Competition
YWCA held its first storytelling competition in
October 2014. This event provided a platform
to foster children’s love for reading in their early
years whilst boosting their self-confidence in public
speaking.
A new music core programme by Our Music
Classroom (OMC), TopNotes! commenced in
January 2015. Together with OMC, we wish to
provide a high quality creative music and movement
curriculum that positively impacts and benefits
teachers, parents and children. The programme
will be co-conducted by trainers from OMC along
with the class teachers. An introduction cum
training programme was held on 3 January 2015
for our teachers.
Spark Certification
With our new Preschool Division structure, we
hope to be able to render more support to centres
striving for a SPARK accreditation. Mrs Lucy Lim
from McNair CDC, Ms Ho Mee Khuen from Pasir
Ris and Ms Jennifer Chan from Outram CDC will
be spearheading this initiative. The Management
will provide support to these centres to help them
achieve the SPARK accreditation. Our hope is for all
our centres to be SPARK-certified within the next
few years.
YWCA Kids Therapy Club (Occupational
Therapy)
This programme was started to provide
occupational therapy to children aged two to
twelve years old with mild to severe special needs.
We aim to serve a total of 80 children by 2017.
The operation will be launched officially on 3
March 2015.
Collaborating with Other Agencies
ESU has sent brochures and informative letters
to other agencies to inform them about the
services which we are providing to assist children
with mild to severe special needs. We are in the
midst of planning a comprehensive ESU service
presentation, and thereafter get in touch with the
respective Child Guidance Units at all government
and private hospitals to share about the benefits
of our services.

Meals-on-Wheels
The YWCA Meals-on-Wheels programme continued expanding and achieved the target of 600
beneficiaries in 2014. Over 120,000 packets of food were delivered to elderly, disabled and children from
low-income families, about 14% more than last year.
This was achieved through outreach to all primary schools within the YWCA’s service boundaries as well
as a door-to-door Meals-on-Wheels recruitment campaign. The campaign ran from March to April at 20
blocks of one- and two-room rental flats. Roadshows were held at Lions Befrienders (Ghim Moh), Farrer
Park Primary, and River Valley Primary.
2014 also saw the YWCA engaging a new catering partner, Stamford Catering with Community Kitchen
Co-Operative from 23 October. The latter is a social enterprise project providing employment and business
opportunities for difficult-to-place and needy jobseekers that caters for the needy too.
The Meals-on-Wheels for Elderly (MOWE)
programme has been a hallmark community service
since 1997 to distribute free and nutritious lunches
every weekday to needy, frail and homebound
elderly aged 60 and above living in the Outram
vicinity. In 2014, the elderly served grew in number
from around 255 to 350, with the inclusion of
new partners Lions Befrienders (Ghim Moh) and
EverGreen Circle Senior Activity Centre.
Children
MOWE quarterly outings continued to be held to
provide for the emotional and social well-being
of our elderly beneficiaries. An average of around
60 elderly attended our outings with about 40
volunteers engaged to befriend them.
Since 2006, the Meals-on-Wheels for Children
(MOWC) programme has been distributing free
nutritious dinners every weekday to children aged
between five and 12 from low-income families in
the Outram vicinity. 2014 began with 127 children
and closed at the end of the school year at 300.
five new school partners came on board; Farrer
Park Primary, Fuhua Primary, Queenstown Primary,
River Valley Primary and Yuhua Primary, bringing
the total number of partners to eight.
On 8 February, the Chinese New Year Lunch
Celebration for Elderly was held and mandarin
oranges and red packets were distributed by the
YWCA Board. 2013 partners Asian Film Archive and
Cathay-Keris Films came on board to recommend
and lend more nostalgic film classics for the MOWE
Movie Lunches held on 16 April and 23 July. 95%
of the April Movie Lunch volunteer turnouts were
students, and the July edition featured performers
from the Youth & Children’s Palace from China.
School partners submitted letters to recommend
Financial Assistance Scheme students into the
programme in 2014, without the need for
further documents as the MOWC income criteria
was revised to match the Scheme’s standards so
households earning a total income of $2,500 could
be eligible. The increase was supplemented by an
extension of service boundaries for the afternoon
deliveries to include Jurong East and Farrer Park.
On 26 April, 18 Cub Scouts from Pack 3017 donated
$500 worth of items and packed exam care kits
for 50 MOWC beneficiaries. It was especially
meaningful for the young boys to make these kits
for needy children of corresponding age and they
put a lot of thought into their personalised cards.
Meal delivery volunteers continued to be engaged,
with 15 teachers from Radin Mas Primary School
coming down on 19 November to bless the lives of
more children.
Disabled
The number of beneficiaries for the Meals-onWheels for Disabled programme more than
doubled from 16 to nearly 40 in 2014. Disabled
beneficiaries continued to be engaged for MOWE
outings and wheelchair transport was made
available.

THK Family Service Centre @ Macpherson on
13 December. Additionally, 25 students from
Singapore Management University did meal
deliveries on 1 August, and Dell sent seven staff to
cover the 3 December morning deliveries.
The YWCA also continued to receive requests for
spring cleaning for the elderly. A group from The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints reached
out to homes in Telok Blangah on 29 March. On
28 May, a secondary one class of 40 from Yio Chu
Kang Secondary went door-knocking at Banda
Street to volunteer such services to the residents
there. The Church of the Holy Spirit sent about
40 secondary school students to clean 16 homes
on 2 and 16 August in the Jalan Bukit Merah and
Tampines areas respectively too.
On 6 September, TKH Lighting sponsored 40
tickets and two-way transportation for elderly
and volunteers to watch the ‘Laugh Out Loud!’
Mandarin Crosstalk performance at Esplanade’s
Moonfest. The Grand Mandarin Restaurant added
a gift of 60 boxes of mooncakes to the season,
which were delivered to the homes of beneficiaries.

The Sustenance for Families programme was
launched in 2010 to ease some of the financial
burdens faced by the needy families in our
community. As of December 2014, the YWCA
serves over 1,300 families and the numbers are
consistently increasing monthly. We wish to extend
our heartfelt appreciation to our stakeholders
who contribute towards making this programme
a success.
Realm of Tranquillity continued partnership with
the YWCA for both the weekday and weekend
monthly food ration distributions in 2014. As such,
there was an increase in the beneficiaries from an
average of 80 to 130 per month across the various
estates.
We are elated to have welcomed new corporate
volunteers on board from Yellow Pages, Ralph
Lauren, Standard Chartered Bank, Lunch Actually,
37
Grundfos and United Parcel Service (UPS) who
enthusiastically participated in packing and
distributing rations and expressed interest to
continue doing so in 2015.
The YWCA is proud to have opened this programme
to visitors from overseas for the very first time since
its launch. In December 2014, a group of youth
volunteers from Hong Kong aged 16 to 24 years
old were involved in the weekday packing as part
of their exchange tour programme. The benefits
were twofold as the youths were able to develop
their world vision on volunteering whilst packing
bags for our beneficiaries. The session saw a joint
international effort as local students from Ngee
Ann Polytechnic were also on hand to guide the
visitors.
The programme is only made possible with the
generous support of many volunteers who lend
38
their time and service to pack and deliver the rations
island wide to over 1,300 families every month.
We are blessed to have dedicated volunteers who
go above and beyond, taking the extra mile to
ensure that the programme runs smoothly. Due
to the peak and holiday seasons for Yellow Pages
and UPS, were unable to deliver rations in bulk.
However, individual employees willingly stepped
forward to personally deliver the rations on their
company’s behalves with their own vehicles.
The former Adult Day Centre (ADC) where the
rations are packed and kept will be undergoing
renovation in 2015. When this is complete, there
will be ample space for the growing number of
bags packed and distributed each month, as well
as to accommodate a larger pool of volunteers. The
programme continues to expand through word-ofmouth and agencies’ referrals.

Kids’ Club
Kids’ Club
Kids’ Club
The YWCA Kids’ Club was set up to offer a more
holistic approach to help children under the Mealson-Wheels programme by creating a rewarding
and conducive environment for them to develop
their character and self-worth, and to discover
their unique talents and potential. To further these
aims, the Kids’ Club opened its doors to both old
and new partners, programmes and children in
2014.
The Kids’ Club has been providing social, emotional,
moral and academic support to disadvantaged
children aged between five to 12 years since
2007. In 2014, the direction of organising free
enrichment programmes of workshops and outings
to engage the children took on a more causedriven slant. Embedding causes and principles into
the programmes served to enlighten the children
by nurturing their civic consciousness.
There were 44 session of Kids’ Club held in 2014
with an average attendance of 11 children from
the pool of 95 registered. Of these 95 children,
over 40% are not Meals-on-Wheels beneficiaries,
but have been brought in by their friends and
through word-of-mouth.
Regular sessions were run on 2nd and 4th Saturdays
from 10am to 1pm with transport provided, and on
certain weekdays during the school holidays. Upon
request from parents, the free tuition programme
was brought back between July to October and 11
drop-in tuition sessions were run with up to nine
students and eight volunteers engaged. Numbers
were kept small to ensure each child would have
individual attention as far as possible, something
they lacked in the traditional school setting.
2014 also saw the Kids’ Club welcoming two

children with special needs. They had come across
the programme on the YWCA’s website and been
attracted by the prospect of fun and new friends.
With the support of their caregivers who attended
sessions with them, they became integrated into
the Club, teaching the other children important
lessons as well. One of them even took the stage
at the Kids’ Club Christmas Party to perform in the
ukulele ensemble!
Volunteer engagement for Kids’ Club was very
high with volunteers running and facilitating over
80% of the 2014 activities and student volunteers
accounting for the majority. The Kids’ Club also
welcomed new corporate volunteers from Avnet,
Barclays, Building and Construction Authority, and
LaSalle Investment. Their active involvement helped
socialise the children and they visibly opened up
more readily to the steady stream of youth and
adult buddies that came into the Club and their
lives. The YWCA sincerely thanks all those who
have put in their efforts, resources and time to
serve the children by love and enacting the YWCA
core values.
In 2015, Kids’ Club’s focus will be to empower
the children to “By love, serve one another”,
thus helping them rise above their disadvantaged
circumstances to impact the lives of others around
them for the better.

Workz-on-Wheels Programme
Workz-on-Wheels (WoW) was launched in 2012.
The objective of this programme is to impart
essential craft and life skills to disadvantaged
children and youth at-risk from various homes
and schools around Singapore. In the early days
of the programme, the workshops enhanced skills
such as arts and crafts, sewing and crocheting.
However, through our weekly interactions with the
children and youth, we came to know them on a
more personal level and realised that there was a
tangible gap which WoW could come in and fill.
Since the children and youth are from harsh and
underprivileged family backgrounds, we desired
to create a more holistic programme that fulfilled
their emotional and social needs, going further
than merely teaching them hands-on skills.
In 2014, our WoW programme expanded greatly.
Our workshops shifted focus and are now primarily
focused on developing the emotional health of the
children and youth whom we bless. We ran a total
of 59 workshops throughout the year, totalling 114
hours, with seven different partner organisations.
We worked with a group of individuals aged
seven to 17 years old at Chen Su Lan Methodist
Children’s Home, our first collaborative WoW
partner. Throughout the year, we identified that
the children have difficulty expressing and sharing
their feelings with one another. Thus, we started
to tailor other activities which would encourage
them to achieve this. In June, we introduced the
first self-esteem workshop series to aid them in
building confidence and thus open up to those
around them.
We are thankful to have the support of a regular
pool of volunteers who are on hand each session
to befriend the children and lend them moral
support. Seeing familiar faces often enables them
to feel more comfortable and at ease such that the
workshops will benefit them twofold. Moreover,
with the help of dedicated volunteers, we are
able to run an increased quantity and variety of
workshops. In the past, most of the session for the
AG Home were conducted by our staff members,
however in 2014, we expanded our reach by
inviting regular volunteers from numerous
organisations to conduct weekly sessions.
In 2014, we worked closely with Sunbeam Place
and Prison Fellowship Singapore in particular. The
children in these organisations are aged five to 17
years old and come from an array of backgrounds.
Some have been abused or neglected in the past,
whilst others have been deemed beyond parental
control or have incarcerated parents. Thus, they
tend to have a lot of emotional struggles and
anger. We addressed these issues through baking
workshops as baking is therapeutic and helps foster
self-esteem when the children see the end product
of their hard work. Furthermore, since the children
have their own in-groups, friendship workshops
were also conducted to cultivate better social and
communicative skills and teach the children the
valuable attribute of gaining acceptance of others.
We are proud that our WoW programme can
provide a platform to educate children on skills that
will stay with them throughout their journey into
adulthood. Self-care workshops were conducted
for the children of Canossaville Children’s Home
who come from underprivileged families. In
order to build a positive image and identity for
themselves, we educated them about personal
hygiene, manners and healthy eating. Honing
these skills will benefit them as they progress into
the workforce and have families of their own in
the future.
Throughout the year, we endeavoured to
incorporate an element of fun into our workshops
to make them more memorable and enjoyable
for the children. Thus, in September, we held an
inaugural Junior MasterChef competition for the
latchkey kids of New Town Primary School, during
which they were tasked to cook a meal all by
themselves as part of an assessment. This was the
grand finale of a series of basic culinary workshops
that the children had undergone.

“We are proud that our WoW
programme can provide a
platform to educate children
on skills that will stay with
them throughout their
journey into adulthood.”
In 2014, we started a new collaboration with
Punggol Primary School, working with children
with special needs for the very first time since
WoW was launched. The school’s counsellor
contacted the YWCA, requesting for us to conduct
workshops on self-esteem for their children from
the ‘Twinkles’ programme. This group of children
have special needs such as dyslexia, Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and mild
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and are nine to12
years old. The aim of these workshops was twofold;
to raise the pupils’ self-esteem whilst inculcating
character values and independence, and to provide
the children with a platform to promote empathy,
a sense of belonging and an avenue to voice
their opinions and express themselves.
The YWCA is grateful for the opportunity to
work with a diverse and growing group of
organisations. We work in harmony with these
homes and schools to strive and meet the needs
of these children and youths. We have built a
good rapport with each of our partners, made

communication channels which allows them to
be updated about the children’s progress whilst
providing us with the chance to improve on our
programmes concurrently.
We are constantly seeking to expand and
broaden our horizons with the WoW
programme. In line with our desire to address
the emotional and social needs of the children
and youth, two topics that we are currently
exploring are anger management and boygirl relationships. The YWCA looks forward to
continuing making a difference in the lives of
our beneficiaries of our WoW programme this
year.

YWCA House
The YWCA House serves as a platform for young women between ages 18 to 25 years old to start anew
and rebuild their lives for a better future. The hostel promotes independent living and highly encourages
residents to live responsibly and strive for a better life through pursing higher education qualifications.
The YWCA has successful applied for study grants for the young women who receive limited family
support.
Residents are referred to the YWCA by children’s and young people’s homes or agencies, together with a
complete social report. In total, the YWCA House received 10 referrals in 2014 and will continue to reach
out to more children’s and young people’s homes in 2015.
The YWCA Youth Centre serves as a facility for
children and youths to come and acquire new skills
such as baking and cooking. The facility is open to
youths and children from YWCA Kids’ Club and
Workz-on-Wheels (WoW) partners such as Prison
Fellowship Singapore, Punggol Primary School and
New Town Primary School.
In 2014, the YWCA continued to open her doors
to the AG Home to conduct sessions for their girls
on Tuesday afternoons. During school holidays,
activities were planned for the youths living around
the vicinity of Outram. A total of 18 sessions and
two outings were planned and conducted for them
throughout the year. These range from cooking
workshops, such as chicken burgers, bimbimbap
and baked pasta to baking workshops, such as
47
cupcakes, cookies and macarons. Aside from
honing their kitchen skills, crochet workshops were
also conducted.
As part of a reward for youths with regular
attendance, they were invited for an outing to the
Singapore Discovery Centre during the June school
holidays.
At Youthphoria, the youths participating in riveting
carnival games and enjoyed free popcorn and
candy floss, and even caught the movie ‘How to
Train Your Dragon 2’ in 3D. During the year-end
holidays, the youths went to the River Safari to
learn about the famous rivers in the world and the
animals that inhabit them, as well as to visit the
Giant Pandas, Kai Kai and Jia Jia.

The 2014 edition of Investment Talk was held on
21 March, where guest speaker, Dr. Tan Kee Wee
returned for the fourth year to share his financial
insights. In a similar fashion to previous years,
with his wealth of knowledge and experience
in forecasting financial markets and global
economies, Dr. Tan shared and illustrated his views
to the investors who attended.
The YWCA is very privileged to have Dr. Tan, who
conducts similar talks with MediaCorp, to share his
insights with our members every year since 2011.

The Annual General Meeting of the YWCA
was held on 22 April 2014. The new Board was

and Ms Mavis Tsoi and Mrs Dancy Thong as 1st and
2nd Vice Presidents respectively.

The annual Senior Citizens’ Lunch was held on
24 October 2014. For the first time, the event
featured a movie screening of an old time classic,
Mary Poppins, before lunch was served.
We have since reserved this special day annually to
honour and celebrate our senior citizens for being
such fine examples to society. As per traditions, a
Peranakan spread was served at the Sophia Cooke
Ballroom for a total of 106 old and new friends.

Golden Y Fellowship
Golden Y Fellowship
In 1995, a pilot programme, Golden Y Fellowship (Golden Y) for senior members was started to meet the
needs of ladies above the age 60. They meet regularly for activities on Monday mornings from 11am to
2pm at YWCA Outram. The ladies pay a nominal fee and enjoy the weekly fellowship programme which
includes praise and worship, prayer and sharing, sing-along sessions of songs of yesteryears, board games
and lunch. Special programmes and outings are also planned for the ladies on festive occasions.
For the year 2014, the Golden Y organised the following activities:
-
“Christmas After Glow” in January
-
Chinese New Year celebration in February
-
Golden Y Anniversary in March
-
Mother’s Day celebration in May
-
National Day luncheon in August
Periodically, a small potluck luncheon is held where the ladies showcase their culinary skills. The buddy
system where the ladies are grouped based on proximity of their homes so that they can take care and
look out for each other, is going on well.
On top of their own activities, the Golden Y supports, donates and helps out in YWCA events throughout
the year.
TGIF Campaign
TGIF Thank God I’m Female!
Campaign
The TGIF campaign was launched in July 2012 to raise public awareness of the prevalent issues faced by
young women aged 13 to 35 years old. Two by-products of the campaign were:
1) “CHIC” notebook which contains educational facts and information on topics relevant to young
women aged 13 to 18 years old such as relationships, conflict management, body changes and mental
health
2) YWCA Safety Alert; a mobile phone application which is designed to enhance the safety of young
women, anytime, anywhere. The mobile phone application is available for free on both the Apple Store
and Google Play Store.
In 2014, the YWCA embarked on a collaboration with the Jurong West Neighbourhood Police Centre
to further promote the YWCA Safety Alert in hopes to enhance the safety of women in Singapore. The
YWCA participated in the following road shows throughout the year:

Global
Connections
In 2014, the YWCA was privileged to host three
groups from fellow YWCAs around Asia who
visited Singapore and stopped by for exchange
sessions with our Board Members and staff at
YWCA’s Fort Canning Lodge. On 4 November, we
received our friends from YWCA Beijing, including
15 Board Members, members and staff, and on
12 December, six guests from YWCA Guangzhou
consisting of the Executive Director, Board Members
and Programmes managers visited.
The afternoons were a great opportunity to learn
about the different programmes, services and
activities that our overseas counterparts carry
out. Thus, there was a two way flow of ideas and
inspiration. Moreover, each session presented a
rare chance to learn about each other’s culture,
business practice and organisational history and
values, fostering closer and stronger ties and
building a platform for future collaborations.
On 30 December, 20 youth volunteers from
Hong Kong came to Singapore for an exchange
tour under the Hong Kong Outstanding Youth
Volunteers Scheme. The YWCA hosted the youths
and five other representatives during a lunch at
Fort Canning Lodge and subsequent ration packing
session at YWCA Outram for 150 families on the
Sustenance for Families Programme. Local youth
volunteers from Ngee Ann Polytechnic FoodAID
Club also joined the session and all worked
together in unison to pack the bags whilst taking
the opportunity to share experiences and cultures
with each other.
We are proud to have extended our global
connections in 2014 and hope to continue to do
the same in 2015.

World YWCA International Leadership Institute
World YWCA International
Leadership Institute on
Women’s Leadership
The World YWCA International Leadership Institute
(ILI) that was held from 6 to 9 October 2014 at
Bogota, Colombia saw 60 women from YWCAs
worldwide coming together. ILI aims to encourage
women, young women and girls alike to exercise
leadership in their lives and communities and
advocate women’s rights. Thus, the training
focused on transformative and intergenerational
leadership on women’s leadership. The YWCA of
Singapore was represented by Nicole Chua, Senior
Executive (Programmes & Services).
The training highlighted the importance of
intergenerational leadership by passing skills
and experience from the older generation to the
young women so as to continue the legacy of the
YWCA movement. In this way, the energy of the
younger generation and the experience of the
older generation can blend so that all can work
in unison. Participants brainstormed on how to
revitalise the YWCA heritage and modernise the
organisation concurrently to attract more young
women to be part of the movement.
agreed that in the next 20 years, the YWCA’s ‘big
dream’ would be to provide education to every
girl and women around the world, to advocate
for women’s empowerment and rights, and to
provide leadership development and promote
intergenerational leadership.
Facilitator Dr Burkhard Gnarig emphasised the
need for bold and transformative leaders in order
to achieve this goal. Transformative leadership
involves being open minded, versatile and able to
adapt and address the needs of the community.
Thus, Dr Gnarig challenged that in the next 20
years, the YWCA must be bold and courageous
and open to change. It is pertinent that the younger
generation are given the liberty and opportunities
take part in decision making because eventually
they will be the ones to accept the torch and
continue the legacy of the YWCA movement.
