ABOUT CHILDREN’S AID SOCIETY

The Children’s Aid Society is registered under the Societies Act and manages Melrose Home. An Executive Committee is elected from among its members and is the governing body for the Home. The Children’s Aid Society is among the oldest philanthropic organisations in Singapore, having been formed in the late 1800s as the St Nicholas Home. Its present name was established in 1902. The Home provides a supportive environment of a "home away from home" for children and teenagers between the ages of 3 to 18 years old, who need care and protection in a residential setting. These are children and teenagers whose parents or family members are unable to provide them with adequate care and supervision. The Home has the capacity to provide quality residential care for 60 children and 15 teenagers.

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

In 2009, our focus at Melrose was principally in the areas of Governance and Programme Development for the residents. In place of the Home Management Sub-Committee, two new Sub-Committees were formed - the Staff and Administration and Children and Programmes Sub-Committees to focus more effectively on our human resource, operations and care programmes. The engagement of a professional Internal Auditor has ensured our internal control and compliance procedures and processes are effectively monitored on a regular basis. The Long Service Awards to recognize long serving staff was updated and a Whistle Blowing system was introduced. We have obtained the services of a Volunteer Education Adviser to oversee the academic performance of our residents. With her professional advice, areas for improvement were identified and measures were taken to address them. In particular, the tuition programme was strengthened. It was encouraging to see an overall improvement in the academic results of our residents. During the year, we also set up the “Melrose Club” to facilitate the continuing mentoring and support of our discharged residents. If successful, this will enable the Home to maintain a link with these residents and facilitate any further guidance and assistance if needed. The Home was fortunate to be a recipient of a substantial legacy donation from the Estate of William Mitchell Hunter Caldwell, which was used for the enhancement of the academic, therapeutic and enrichment programmes for our residents. During the year, there were twenty-three new admissions into the Home and seventeen residents were discharged as their home and family environment had improved. In total, the Home had looked after fifty-three residents. Melrose will strive to fulfill its Mission of being a progressive home to nurture, motivate and develop young persons in need of protection and care. This has been possible with the selfless dedication and contribution of all our staff, regular volunteers, the many generous donors and sponsors, and the unstinting support and time from my fellow committee members. To all of them a big Thank You. My appreciation also goes to our Sector Administrator, the National Council of Social Services and the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports for their encouragement and support. Michael Kan Yuet Yun, PBM Chairman, Executive Committee

OUR PROGRAMMES Residential Care The residential care programme is the main function of the Home. A team of dedicated staff provides security, nurture and support to our residents, and ensures that not only do they receive quality care but that their interests are protected as well.

Making sure children have their meals and tea time snacks Study time is supervised

Academic Guidance and Support The residents attend secondary or primary schools, or kindergartens in the neighbourhood. The Home collaborates closely with the schools to monitor their academic development. Our staff members together with volunteers and paid tutors provide academic guidance and tutorial support for the educational progress of our residents.

Family and Community Partnership

The Home works with the parents, family members, teachers and community agencies on issues concerning the well-being of the resident. The objective is for the resident to eventually return to their family when their home circumstances and environment have improved.

Family BBQ night

Aftercare and Mentoring An aftercare programme is put in place when a resident leaves the Home to return to their family. The Social Worker will maintain contact with the former resident(s), make home visits and collaborate closely with the teachers or school counsellors to monitor their development. We set up “Melrose Club” in 2009 to offer continued mentoring and support to discharged children.

OUR EXPENSES The Home requires a monthly average of about $100,000 for its operations. About 25 percent of this cost is provided by the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports as a grant based on the number of children in residence. However, a major part of our Home’s operational costs is funded by donations from corporations, organised groups and well-wishing individuals. REVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Home recorded a surplus in 2009, of $848,916. This is a significant improvement in our finances reflecting primarily the rebound in the Singapore stock market, following the banking crisis of 2008/9. The gains in the value of securities are a combination of profits arising from the ongoing management of the consolidation of our Singapore market portfolio and the year-end book value revision, as reported for accounting purposes. Our bank interest receipts have remained dismally low however in line with interest rates globally. Our donations however held up well in 2009, with the continuing generous support of our donors, underpinned by an estate legacy of $200,000. Our expenses stayed broadly flat, apart from an increasing investment in programmes to enhance our children’s care, education and development which has been a key priority for 2009. Our expectations for the coming year are for a modest growth in our investment income and donations, offset by an increase in our salaries and related costs as the labour market tightens, as a consequence of increasing employment. We are renovating a dormitory to admit residents with behavioural issues, recruiting additional staff, implementing an enhanced after-care programme and introducing a financial assistance scheme for families. Finally we are investing in sharing more about our achievements, with our donors and volunteers, to retain their generous and enthusiastic support for the Home in 2010.

16

RESERVES POLICY The reserves of the Home, being financial assets and cash balances as at the 31 December 2009 stood at $5,467,103 an increase of $ 555,526 ( +10 % ) over the previous year. The ratio of our reserves to our annual operating expenditure for 2009 is 6.7 (2008 adjusted was 5.6). These reserves were primarily established in 1987 when the Home sold off its peripheral land for development netting the sum of $1.1 million. This fund was invested in blue chip trustee shares and bonds and the account had grown at a steady pace over the subsequent 20 plus years of relatively consistent market growth punctuated by periodic market falls such as the one experienced in 2008. The Singapore equity stock market rebound in 2009 has enabled the Home to recoup most of the book losses reported in 2008. The Home has depended on the dividend and interest income generated by our reserves and on donations, to bridge the substantial gap between government grants and our total operating expenditure, which is approximately three times as high as the grant level. In the coming year, we shall be renovating a dormitory to house children with behavioural issues and those beyond parental control as well as recruiting additional staff to manage these challenging residents. An enhanced after-care programme will also be implemented to assist discharged residents to face challenges in the wider community. A financial assistance scheme will be put in place for families of residents needing financial support to create the environment within which their children will develop. Our goal by the close of our current five year strategic plan period is to maintain these reserves at a level around 5 times our operating expenditure." The recent financial crisis and the historically low returns on bonds and bank balances has, we believe, justified the past prudent reserves policy of the Home. We have maintained through the recent difficult time, a climate of financial stability for the Home and our current reserves policy will enable the Home to fulfill our continuing obligations to the residents in our care.

THE PLANS & COMMITMENTS FOR 2010 We will be enhancing the physical facilities of the Home. Some of the improvements include renovating the kitchen and stores. When completed, the new kitchen will also include a life skill corner, where our older residents can pick up useful culinary skills. We will also be looking at improvements to our residents’ dormitories, study areas and activity rooms. Our van for transportation of our residents is more than 10 years old, and is being replaced. This ensures greater reliability and safety for our residents when being ferried to schools, outings and activities, medical and other appointments. To help our residents develop into well-rounded individuals, we will be enhancing the academic support and enrichment programmes for them. We will review our current Mentoring Programme and allocate the necessary resources and staff support to provide continued befriending and mentoring of discharged residents.We will explore other possible areas of services such as introducing enhanced aftercare for our discharged residents, as well as to reach out to the individuals from lower income or dysfunctional families. To further improve our operations, we will be reviewing and updating our Standard Operating Procedures. We will also be improving the capabilities of our staff through systematic training and targeted recruitment of new staff with the right skill sets, so that we can provide a higher quality of care and service.
