Dear friends of REACH Community Services,
We are thrilled to extend to you a heartfelt invitation to our upcoming annual fundraising Charity Dinner, dedicated to supporting the core services provided by REACH: Family Service, Counselling and Mental Health Service, Youth Service, and Senior Service. This event will take place on Friday, 27th September 2024, at the Sheraton Towers Singapore, with the esteemed presence of Mr. Gan Kim Yong, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry, as our Guest of Honor.
Themed “A New Horizon,” our event symbolizes the promise of a brighter future for those in need. Whether it’s a family facing financial difficulties, mending parent-child relationships, individuals finding mental health support, reintegrating troubled youth into the community, couples renewing hope in their relationships, or seniors finding purpose through volunteerism, we believe in discovering new horizons in every challenging circumstance.
2024 has marked a significant milestone for us as REACH transitioned from a society under the Registry of Societies to a Public Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG) on 1st April 2024. This strategic shift underscores our commitment to enhancing corporate governance and managing the increased enterprise risks associated with our expanding services.
We recently celebrated the opening of two senior centres in partnership with St Luke’s ElderCare (SLEC) – the REACH-SLEC Active Ageing Centre (Care) @ Teck Whye Vista and the REACH-SLEC Senior Care Centre @ Senja Valley. These centres are set to serve seniors in the Teck Whye, Choa Chu Kang, Keat Hong, and Bukit Panjang areas.
In 2023, REACH served over 4,600 beneficiaries through our 10 community touchpoints. This Charity Dinner aims to raise $250,000 to further expand our essential work in reaching out to the Least, the Lost and the Lonely in our community. It will be an evening of fellowship with live entertainment. We invite you to join us in supporting us by:
- Attend the Dinner: Purchase a table and invite your loved
- Sponsor the Event: Further showcase your commitment through our sponsorship
- Donate: Every monetary contribution, regardless of amount, will make a significant impact.
- Spread the Word: Help us extend this invitation to your network.
REACH is an approved Institution of Public Character (IPC), all donations including table purchases and outright donations are eligible for 250% tax deductions on the donated sum. REACH is also eligible to apply for Tote Board’s Enhanced Fundraising Programme and will receive a dollar-for-dollar top-up on the total funds raised for this campaign. In other words, your donations will enable us to do more with this dollar matching grant.

Together, let’s create “A New Horizon” and pave the way for a brighter future. Thank you for your generosity and support. We eagerly anticipate your presence at REACH Charity Dinner 2024!
Yours Sincerely,
Michael Lai
