Volunteering

If you have some time to spare, whether it's a couple of hours a week, a day, a week or something more permanent, there are many diverse volunteering opportunities. Giving something back to the society in which we live can be extremely rewarding and many of our members find this adds to their overall Singapore experience. There are opportunities to help both within local Singapore charities and within the British Association itself.

Currently, the British Association raises funds for The Haven, SACS Family Care Centre, Breadline Group and Assissi Hospice. Each of these organisations, plus Riding for the Disabled, provides areas for volunteer work depending on your skills, interests and inclinations. Why not contact them using the details below and find out how you can make a difference?

RIDING FOR THE DISABLED
RDA is a charity that provides a unique form of exercise to meet the needs of the physically and intellectually disabled of Singapore. Volunteers are required to act as 'sidewalkers’ and leaders to assist the riders in the training arena. Full instruction is given and previous knowledge of working with horses or the disabled is not necessary. Please contact mail@rdasingapore.org.sg - contacts are Samantha, Florence and Amy.

ASSISI HOSPICE
Assisi offer a palliative care programme for children and adults suffering from cancer and other life limiting conditions. Volunteers are needed to work with the inpatients in the day centre, with exercise, general help and outings. They also require anyone skilled in massage or other therapies.
