The Singapore Red Cross was part of the National University of Singapore's Industry Seminar Panel on Building Inclusive Communities last week, including a panel discussion 'Building Bridges: How Community Organisations are Fostering Inclusion' alongside the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre (NVPC). Representing SRC, Karine Tan, Associate Director of the Community Engagement Department, shared her decade-long humanitarian journey — beginning in fundraising, Karine has since worn many hats in various departments. She opened up about: ⭐️ The highs and lows of her work, emphasising the importance of resilience, passion, and setting clear goals. ⭐️ Ways to stay motivated and never lose sight of why we do what we do. The students kept the energy alive with substantial questions during the Q&A, including asking about transitioning to the social service sector without a formal background in social work, staying empathetic in challenging situations, and the first steps toward making an impact. It's inspiring to witness young minds thinking deeply about inclusion and purpose! We also conducted a small taster activity on programme strategy choices, where students analysed how to allocate assistance for beneficiaries while balancing limited resources. It was a practical exercise highlighting the complexity and thoughtfulness needed in community work. Our session ended with a presentation by Stephannie W., spotlighting: ⭐️ Career opportunities at Singapore Red Cross ⭐️ Our collaboration with Peanuts™, which supports local programmes ⭐️ The rich history of the Red Cross, from our roots to our ongoing impact today. We’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Cadence Wong, Carine NGAI, Wong Rui Xuan, and the organising team for giving us this incredible opportunity to connect with future changemakers. Together, we’re building bridges and fostering inclusive communities! #sgredcross #PassionPeople

We got together with our partner in the National Blood Programme, the Health Sciences Authority, for the HSA-SRC biennial retreat, to strategise for a safe and sustainable blood supply for Singapore — into the future. After an inspiring welcome by HSA CEO Adj A/Prof Raymond Chua, our teams brainstormed and shared ideas and insights across recruitment, retention, and recognition, of blood donors. Our Secretary General/CEO Benjamin William then shared his closing remarks, encouraging the teams to transform these ideas into plans, and into reality. Blood donation is a shared responsibility. We’d love to hear your ideas on how we can involve more of you in our lifesaving mission! Leave your comment below ⬇️

When Neo Group started organising mobile blood drives for its employees and partners in 2016, Jasper Chang made the decision to donate blood for the first time. As Assistant Director of Operations at Umisushi, a subsidiary of Neo Group, he was motivated to lead by example. Since then, Neo Group has hosted three-day mobile blood drives at their premises multiple times a year. Jasper believes that it is essential to build a culture of support and encouragement for first-time blood donors, in order to alleviate their concerns and empower them to donate.

Our first volunteering session with Young Hearts Singapore Red Cross in 2025 was a beautiful start to the year! We painted, we laughed, we connected—and it was all thanks to amazing volunteers who made it happen. Chin Weishan and her 3 little ones inspired everyone with sensorial art activities that expanded the horizons of our Young Hearts. 10 year old Fleur Yeo captivated with meaningful fables, weaving lessons and values into her storytelling. And Jacqueline Ng, Shin Khaw, Jamie and friends from Hwa Chong International School, brought yummy pizza, plus their time and energy to support the activities and share in the joy! It’s moments like these that remind us why we keep engaging the community and Young Hearts all year long with Peace of Art SG and SustainableMarkets.SG Ready to join in? Let’s create more moments like this together! #PeaceOfArt #YoungHearts #KampungSpirit
