Who We Are
The British Association is a non-profit organization where friendships flourish and community thrives. Founded in 1956 to support British citizens during Singapore's journey to independence, we've evolved into a vibrant, multicultural community that welcomes everyone from all corners of the world.
Today, we're a meeting place for people who've chosen to call Singapore home. Through our diverse calendar of events and activities, we help newcomers settle in, create opportunities for meaningful connections, and build a genuine sense of belonging in this dynamic island city. We're also committed to supporting local charities through volunteer efforts and fundraising.
