GILLIAN PECK

Gillian runs Bringing Love to Every Single Soul (BLESS), a 6-year-old non-profit organisation which acts as a community partner to other social service providers, to plug the gaps in interventions to support the less-privileged.

JONATHAN KUEK

Jonathan founded Matchsticks of IMH, whose volunteers engage residents of the Institute of Mental Health weekly in various activities, bridging the gap between them and the world outside the hospital.

ADRIAN TAN & GREG TAN

Adrian and Greg co-founded and run SG Assist, which started out as a formal solution for caregivers who may not always be home to tend to the beneficiaries, thus requiring the help of neighbours. Today, it has become a large neighbourhood-volunteer network accommodating to a larger variety of requests.
