About Campaign

ends 28 Jul 2022, 11:59 PM

PPEACE-Connect Cluster Operator currently operates a suite of seven (7) eldercare programs that are approved and partly funded by the Ministry of Health. We have been caring for over 2500 seniors for the past 25 years. More than ninety percent (90%) of the seniors we serve live in public rental housing, have little income or no income, and with minimal or no family help.

Starting from May 2021, we will be operating a new Eldercare centre (EC) service model. The new EC model will also be reaching out to the seniors staying at the purchased and private estates. Under the new EC service model, our Active Ageing Centres (AACs) shall serve as the key contact points for social-health support for seniors and their caregivers under our care.

The AACs aim to improve the overall well-being of the seniors through provision of the following services:

(i) Outreach and Community Collaboration;
(ii) Active Ageing;
(iii) Befriending and Buddying;
(iv) Information and Referral.

With the expansion of the service boundary and huge increase in the number of seniors to be served, we are appealing for donations to go towards organising programs to cater to seniors with different needs and interests so that we can reach out to more seniors in the community.

With your kind financial giving and/or volunteering, we will be able to continue to run these eldercare programs without fail. We deeply appreciate your valuable contribution and time.

About the Charity

Singapore Anglican Community Services (SACS), is a work produced by FAITH, an endurance nurtured by HOPE, and a labour prompted by LOVE. The early 1950s marked the genesis of SACS, with the setting up of a clinic by Mrs. Francis Thomas, a nurse and the wife of the Principal of St. Andrew's School. The clinic was to serve villagers living in the Potong Pasir area.

In 1967, the Anglican Welfare Council - renamed Singapore Anglican Welfare Council (SAWC) in 1977 - was inaugurated to serve the needs of the community. SAWC was restructured to bring together the other community service arm of the Anglican Church in Singapore, and was renamed Singapore Anglican Community Services (SACS) in 2004.

Presently, SACS is a voluntary welfare organisation and an approved Institution of Public Character. SACS serves the community through our care services in three areas: Psychiatric Services, Senior Services as well as Family and Children Services.
