 Helping The Less Privileged In Our Community

As a socially responsible corporate citizen, the GuocoLand Group contributes its efforts to helping the less fortunate in our community. Over the years, we have supported various fund-raising activities and causes organised by corporations and charity organisations.

GuocoLand staff in Singapore took part in the SGX Bull Run in October 2007. The record-breaking total of $3.5 million raised by this event which went to 14 selected charities which included disadvantaged children and youths in Singapore and also families and the needy in neighbouring countries.

In April 2009, our Singapore staff participated in a dragon boat race to raise money for charity, the first event in a series of monthly celebrations leading up to a gala dinner at the end of 2009 organized by the Real Estate Developers' Association of Singapore to mark its 50th anniversary. Money raised from this event went to the Pertapis Children’s Home, an Institution of Public Character which caters mainly to children aged between 3 to 16. These children have either been sent to the home by the courts because their parents are in prison and unable to care from them.

In China, GuocoLand staff from our Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing and Tianjin offices rallied and raised funds to help the Sichuan earthquake victims, after the devastating earthquake struck Sichuan province in May 2008. In February 2009, GuocoLand China ('GLC') staff visited the Bethel Training Centre for the Visually Challenged and celebrated the Chinese spring festival with the visually impaired children. GLC staff donated daily essentials such as body lotion, diapers and a variety of toys. Each child was also presented with a "Red Packet" with cash enclosed, a traditional Chinese custom for New Year’s blessing.

GuocoLand Vietnam supported the Gentle Fund Organisation(GFO) "Living The Dream" Fund Raising Concert in January 2009 at the Conservatory of Music in Ho Chi Minh City. This concert aimed to raise funds for the operating expense of several GFO Learning Centers in Vietnam. It featured musical performances performed by professional and voluntary singers from both Singapore and Vietnam.The Gentle Fund Organization (GFO), a registered society in Singapore, currently provides educational support to disadvantaged youth through various activities administered jointly by GFO managers and members in Singapore and in various cities in Vietnam, as well as providing assistance to Vietnamese patients seeking urgent medical treatment in Singapore.
