In its service provisions, SAS works in close cooperation with government
ministries, such as the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Community Development
and Sports and the National Council of Social Service for funding of
its programmes. Other avenues of financial assistance and support are
well-wishers, corporate as well as individuals. The Home is indeed very
fortunate to have caring people who assist the Home as volunteers by
helping, interacting and cheering the old folks during their visits.

Towards achieving the objective of living a fuller and more meaningful
life, constant interaction with others in a social context is a necessity.
To this end, many community clubs, centers, corporate organizations,
religious groups and associations, as well as schools groups visit the
Residents frequently. They hold conversations, help to feed and serve
besides also giving support to our Home both in monetary donations as
well as daily consumables and basic necessities. Moreover, they contribute
to the Residents' well-being by their regular visits and sometimes performing
on stage by songs and dances to entertain them, especially celebrating
the major festive occasions and events in a big way. In this manner,
the Residents continue to feel socially connected and integrated.
We gratefully acknowledge the continued support given by the Ministry
of Health officials, MCDS, NCSS and various philanthropic foundations
and bodies.
