Formerly known as Bukit Ho Swee Family Service Centre, South Central Community Family Service Centre (SCC) provides support to the low-income and vulnerable families in our community. While giving support to families who seek help in financial, social or relationship issues, we encourage community self-help and cooperation.
• Everything is possible when we use our strengths as people living in the neighbourhood.
• We can become a community of people who are resources to one another.
• We receive from others when we are in need, and we give back when others are in need.
• This community can be a place where there is mutual support, encouragement, and self-help.
Taking an inclusive approach, we leverage on the community to activate mutual help through social connections and inclusiveness with the aim of empowering the low-income and vulnerable families while developing the full potential of the next generation for transformative change.
Poverty Transformation With-in Empowered Communities
Passion
We feel for, take pride in, and are committed to going the extra mile to achieve our mission.
Adaptability
We are open and willing to adjust where needed to work with a variety of changing situations, with individuals, groups, and communities.
Teamwork
We appreciate, care, engage and leverage on each other’s assets/strengths to achieve the overall good.
People Matter
We value and enable positive relationships between and among people by connecting, multiplying, and restoring goodwill.
Empowerment
We believe in the relocation of power back to individuals, groups, and communities to make decisions and co-create solutions and to continue to build their capacity and autonomy.
As a community enabler committed to supporting families breaking out of poverty cycle, we connect and partner the community in building empathy and ownership by unlocking the community’s strengths through:
Co-creating opportunities and resources that enable low-income communities towards financial self-sufficiency.
Building a neighbourhood that looks out for the safety, care, and education of vulnerable children.
Leveraging assets to activate community mutual help through social connections and inclusion of people from different social classes, ethnicities, and ages coming together to help one other.
Provide information about social services to those in need, and facilitate referrals to relevant services and opportunities that will best serve them.
Work with and activate the community to support individuals and families who are facing difficulties or need access to opportunities and resources such as financial, employment, education, housing, relationship or other social issues.
Encourage community ownership and co-creation by activating community assets to meet needs and challenges of the community.
