About Us

Set up in 1986, Singapore Anglican Community Services Family Care Centre provides temporary and safe accommodation and supportive service to persons experiencing family violence, and to empower them with healing and hope to re-integrate into community.

The Centre is more than a shelter. It has multi-faceted programmes that look into the client's psychological, social and financial needs. Family Care Centre aims to rehabilitate and empower our clients, so that they will be able to choose a life for themselves and their children that is free of violence, fear and oppression. We assist in the emotional and psychological healing of the women and children, and prepare the women for violence-free lives once they leave the centre.

The staffs at Family Care Centre work with the women to help them foster independence and develop better decision making skills. We strive to equip each client with essential skills that will increase their confidence to succeed in their various roles and responsibilities.

Our Services

  • Residential Care
    Housing is available for up to 100 persons. Accommodation is available for single women, mothers and children. We only admit boys who are 12 years and below.

  • Counselling and Social Work Intervention
    We recognise that the root causes of our residents' problems are complex, and that they need professional help. Our staffs are trained to provide counselling and case management services to our residents.

  • Sunshine Kids Programme
    We encourage the mothers to be gainfully employed, and to alleviate the burden of caring for school age children, we provide before and after school care, as well as education support service for their children.

  • Employment Support
    In line with our aim to re-integrate our residents into society, we offer supportive services to assist unemployed mothers in our care to secure part-time or full-time employment to achieve financial independence and stability.
