10 Years of Changing Lives Through Sport

November 19, 2022

Sport is a powerful social development tool that can transcend boundaries, and build bridges for a more caring and inclusive community. I am heartened to see stakeholders and partners coming together and championing the use of sport for social good.

SportCares, the philanthropic arm of Sports Singapore has reached out to more than 40,000 beneficiaries across its programmes in the past decade.

The SportCares HEARTS Book was launched to commemorate its 10th anniversary. The key reflections and learnings from delivering programmes to the communities they serve have been encapsulated in this resource guide for organisations, corporations and schools that wish to leverage sport for social good.

A photo exhibition supported by LIF was put together to showcase the celebration of the lives SportCares have touched and their achievements in the past 10 years. Every photo tells the stories of people they serve and highlights the values of SportCares.

Working with LIF’s strategic partner, A.D.A Productions, Ms. Ada Zhang led the project with SportCares volunteer, Team Nila and SportCares youth photographers. Workshops were also conducted to mentor the youths and ignite their passion in photography. Roving photo exhibitions at various locations are lined up to allow our wider community to have a chance to catch a glimpse of these photos kicking off from the ActiveSG Pasir Ris Sport Centre from 20th November 2022.

Sports is something very close to my heart and has made a positive impact in my life. I believe sports can help individuals build confidence, discipline and strengthen our minds. On a community and societal level, sports bring people together. This way our community becomes closer and more robust.
