Chairman's Message:

On behalf of the Board of Directors and the management team, I am proud to say that this has been a year of great progress and accomplishments for our organisation.

More than 75 years ago, the founders of Boys’ Town had a vision of a safe and supportive community where boys in need can grow up to be responsible and productive citizens. Today, that vision continues to be realised, along with our expanded services and domains to serve children and youth in the community.

Boys’ Town evolution over the years has seen us serving children and youth, both girls and boys, beyond the Residential Services. One of our latest offerings, Our Milieu Project, also involves reaching out to children, youth and families in the community to increase awareness on children and youth mental health and well-being. We have organised various roadshows within schools and the community, and are endeavouring to reach more in time to come.

2024 was also a year of achievement and recognition. For the third time in a row, Boys’ Town has been awarded the Charity Transparency Award (CTA) in November 2024 by the Charity Council of Singapore. This is a testament of our ongoing commitment to good stewardship to strengthen the trust and confidence of our donors, partners and the communities we serve. The CTA is a strong and positive affirmation of our efforts in demonstrating good governance, transparency and accountability in our operations, whilst inspiring other charities to emulate our best practices.

Boys’ Town’s achievements would not have been possible without the support of our donors, volunteers and community partners. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your ongoing support. Your bountiful charity has made a tremendous impact on the lives of children and youth we serve, and you amplify the good work that we do.

I would also like to thank our dedicated staff and Board members for their hard work and dedication to our mission. Most importantly, I would like to thank the children and youth, as well as their families, for their resilience, determination, and spirit in journeying through 2024 with us. Boys’ Town is committed to continuing our mission of providing a safe and nurturing environment for our children and youth to thrive, and we look forward to your continued support in the years ahead.

As we look to the future, I believe Boys’ Town will continue to be a beacon of hope for children and youth in need. We will continue to provide essential services to the children and youth of our community, and support their families in caring for them. Let us continue to empower our children and youth to thrive in an ever-changing social landscape.

God Bless.
