Community Development

Our focus on community development includes:

• Community Building Programmes: We bring individuals with similar interests, needs, and aspirations together through targeted programmes that foster shared learning and growth. By understanding and addressing community concerns and assets, we work to build social capital and resilience. Through collective action, community members are empowered to solve problems together, improve their quality of life, and support one another in facing challenges.
• Volunteer Engagement & Community Partnerships: Volunteers are integral to our mission, and we value their contributions to enhancing the quality of life for those we serve. Through meaningful volunteer opportunities, we aim to bring value to our volunteers while fostering a collaborative spirit that strengthens communities. Our community partnerships work to build connections with local organisations, stakeholders, and other groups to amplify our collective impact and support mutual goals.

• Professional & Student Liaison: We build strategic partnerships with local and international organisations, as well as educational institutions, to strengthen our professional capabilities and enhance the services we offer. Through programmes like the Viriya Internship and Exchange Programmes, we foster opportunities for mutual learning and skill development, particularly within the social work sector. Our work with students and professionals aims to create developmental collaborations that improve the quality of care and support we provide to the community.
