TOUCH Community Services is a not-for-profit charitable organisation. They were officially registered in 1992 and have been a member of the National Council of Social Service since 1994.
The work of TOUCH started in 1986 as a service for latch-key children in the neighbourhoods of Clementi and Jurong. Touched by the obvious need of low-income and single-parent families with difficulties making ends meet, much less raising their children in a positive environment, a group of seven volunteers in their 20s organised activities to help the children. This small attempt has today become a multi-service organisation with an integrated network of 16 services, 19 centres and 24 children's clubs located at different parts of Singapore, including Bukit Merah, Clementi, Geylang Bahru, Hougang, Serangoon, Toa Payoh, Ubi and Yishun.
Over the last 24 years, TOUCH has reached out to many individuals from all religions and races, including children, youths, families, people with special and healthcare needs and the elderly.
To promote greater awareness and exposure to overseas community work, they also partner closely with organisations in various countries in the areas of child adoption, community development and humanitarian relief.
