Care Corner Singapore Ltd was founded in 1981, in a climate of changes in the early 1980s, as economic competition in the region intensified and the rift between the wealthy and the lower-income in particular the Chinese blue-collar workers, widened. Rev Tan Tien Ser and a group of passionate individuals believed that these marginalised people with lower income and little opportunities for a formal education could be helped to realise their potential and become more competent and fulfilled persons. Through a series of early outreach initiatives, Care Corner has evolved into an organisation offering a wide range of programmes and services delivered through various social service centres located island-wide. In a bid to stay relevant to the needs of the community, Care Corner has continuously strived to offer new and innovative programmes to support those in need and the less privileged.

Our centre achieves its mission of instilling hope and building resilience in individuals, couples and families through the provision of highly subsidised counselling services and groupwork to those affected by intra and interpersonal challenges and functioning. We are committed to a high quality of care and professional service as we seek to promote the well-being of individuals and families.

Care Corner Singapore Ltd was founded in 1981 amid a climate of changes in the early 1980s — intensifying economic competition in the region and the widening rift between the wealthy and the lower-income, particularly the Chinese blue-collar workers. ​ Seeing them live on a low income with few opportunities for a formal education, our founders held onto a strong belief of empowering them to realise their potential, and become more competent and fulfilled persons. Over the years, Care Corner has evolved into a leading social service agency. With 43 service points across Singapore, we serve children with special learning needs or from disadvantaged backgrounds, youth-at-risk, troubled families, vulnerable seniors and individuals with counselling and mental health needs. Our SG Cares Volunteer Centres (VC) at Tampines, Toa Payoh & Woodlands seek to promote volunteerism by connecting volunteers with key community partners and building volunteer management capabilities. At Care Corner, we continuously strive to develop new innovative programmes to support the needs of our community. More information here: https://www.carecorner.org.sg/our-services/
