COMMUNITY
SERVICE
GETTING EVERYONE INVOLVED
During the financial year, management and staff of the Manager
contributed time and efforts in various community projects in
collaboration with the Singapore Red Cross Society (“SRC”), to
support our commitment to serving the community.
GIVE BLOOD, SAVE LIVES
In November 2014, we held our first blood donation drive in
partnership with SRC and the Health Science Authority for our
tenants at New Tech Park. The drive was well-received with over
100 people donating their blood. A number of our employees were
deployed to promote the event, as well as to facilitate the logistical
and administrative aspects of the event. It provided our staff with
valuable opportunities to interact with our tenant community
over the course of the one month event. Most importantly, over
70 units of blood were successfully collected to meet transfusion
needs of needy patients across Singapore.
MEALS WITH LOVE
Since April 2013, our employees have been active participants of
SRC’s “Meals with Love” project under which rations of nutritious
food are delivered to the disadvantaged in our society. Once
a month, members of our staff buy and deliver groceries and
food vouchers to the four families assigned to us. Additionally,
during their visits, they also interact with these families and offer a
listening ear, helping hand and practical advice. In the past year,
the rapport which we have built with the families has also enabled
many of us, through our observations, to identify additional needs
or issues which were communicated to the SRC for appropriate
follow up actions.
In all, our team has contributed more than 500 corporate hours
to volunteer activities in 2014.
