Charities we support

We are currently reviewing and selecting our charities to support for the next two years. If you would like to nominate a charity please email: charities@britishassociation.org.sg by 24 February 2023


Whether you are new to the island or a longstanding resident, getting involved in charitable giving and volunteering can be a great way to make a positive difference to others while enriching your own Singapore experience.

Currently, the British Association supports 5 charities.

To be selected for support from us, charities must demonstrate that they operate efficiently and transparently, that they offer services for which there is a need, and that donations will have a significant and tangible impact. 

You can find all the latest calls for volunteers from our charities here.
