As we reflect on FY2024/25, our theme encapsulates what we strive to do at Bethesda Care Services – staying present through every season of life. This year, we remained committed to enhancing the well-being of families and individuals through quality, professional social services.
CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE
Strengthening Bonds with Families & Seniors
We continued to walk alongside families who count on steady support. Coffee Connect offered parents a welcoming space to build community. Among seniors, demand grew for Meals on Wheels and Medical Escort and Transport services – key touchpoints for meaningful connection. Weekly Active Ageing programmes and new activities helped seniors stay engaged and well-supported.
Empowering Youths Towards Resilience
Our youth programmes focused on nurturing emotional, social and academic growth. Over 3,000 youths engaged through YouthSpace and BCS@College East, with many stepping up to serve or receiving regular mentorship. At Sunshine Club Student Care Centre, children learnt values like gratefulness and generosity, reinforced through home visits and a meaningful Community Service Day.
Volunteers and Partners: Our Pillars of Support
Our work continues to be strengthened by dedicated volunteers and partners. We are encouraged by the growing involvement of corporate and community groups, church partners, and students – all playing a vital role in expanding our reach and deepening our impact.
As we continue this journey of service, I am deeply grateful for our staff, volunteers and partners. May we keep starting with purpose and finishing with grace.

FAMILY SERVICES
In FY2024/25, we focused on nurturing parent-child relationships, building family resilience, and encouraging a culture of learning and togetherness, especially among lower-income households.
Through a range of family-centred programmes, children had the opportunity to develop early literacy skills in safe and nurturing spaces, while parents and caregivers engaged in meaningful shared experiences that strengthened bonds. Guided by our committed volunteers, families were supported in building healthy dynamics through positive role-modelling and encouragement.
These programmes reflect our continued commitment to strengthening family connections, promoting positive parenting, and creating meaningful opportunities for growth and support.

BCS @ COLLEGE EAST
FY2024/25 was a meaningful year shaped by the dedication of our partners and volunteers. Through workshops, community projects, mental wellness initiatives and skills-building sessions, we connected with over 1,500 ITE students. Each programme was guided by our mission to build resilience, nurture values and help youths recognise their worth.
As we prepare to move into the new Integrated Hub, co-located with fellow social service partners, we look forward to deeper collaboration and greater impact.

YOUTHSPACE
In FY 2024/25, guided by the theme Build Deep, Go Far, we strengthened our foundation by engaging committed mentors, deepening community partnerships, and involving youths as co-creators in our programmes.
We focused on fostering a shared culture of belonging by creating safe spaces for honest conversations, encouraging youth-led ideas, and strengthening trust within our team and youth community.
Beyond our core programmes, we championed national youth initiatives, including a youth-led dance production and support for the Youth Work Association of Singapore (YWAS) at its inaugural conference. By balancing intentional community-building with broader advocacy, we empowered youths to lead with confidence and thrive with purpose.

SUNSHINE CLUB
In FY2024/25, we deepened community connections by nurturing the values of gratefulness and generosity. Students were encouraged to practise these values daily, cultivating empathy and kindness in their interactions. Family ties were strengthened through increased home visits, allowing us to better understand and support each child.
We also forged meaningful corporate partnerships that enriched our students’ experiences and broadened their horizons. A highlight of the year was a community service day, where students and their families came together to give back meaningfully.
Looking ahead, we’re excited to continue fostering relationships and nurturing a spirit of gratitude and generosity, empowering the next generation to grow with purpose.
