Social responsibility empowers employees to leverage the corporate resources at their disposal to do good. We believe corporate social responsibility programs can boost employee morale and lead to greater productivity in the workforce.
Over the years, Far East Group have continued our efforts to help the children and the aged in ways that we can. We have raised funds and donated to the Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund to give the children a promising future by helping these children and youths in their social and educational development, buy meals in schools, pay for transport or use it to meet other schooling needs. We have also raised funds and matched the amounts raised for Club Rainbow, which supports and empower children with chronic illness, many of whom require frequent hospital visits for treatment, therapy and long-term medication & their families.
We have not forgotten about the elderly who have contributed their part in building the society and progress that we enjoy today. We’ve raised funds for Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital, one of Singapore’s oldest charitable healthcare institutions which provides in-patient and out-patient facilities and services, which are extended to people of all races.
The Group will continue with our CSR efforts in these areas.
The Straits Times SPMF
The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund was started in 2000 as a community project initiated by The Straits Times to provide pocket money to children from low-income families to help them through school. The children can use this money for school-related expenses, such as buying a meal during recess, paying for transport or using it to meet other schooling needs. The financial help also eases the burden of the many parents who are already struggling to feed their families on their meagre incomes.
Club Rainbow
Set up in 1992, Club Rainbow (Singapore) is a non-profit organisation with a mission to support and empower children with chronic illness & their families by providing compassionate relevant services in their journey towards an enriching life. Children in Club Rainbow (Singapore) range from new-borns to youths up to the age of 20, many of whom require frequent hospital visits for treatment, therapy and long-term medication. Club Rainbow (Singapore) is an independent charity that relies largely on corporate and public donations to support their mission and sustain their work and daily operation.
