FY2017 (Oct’16-Sep’17) will be remembered as the year we went bigger and further with our efforts in helping families thrive. Our mission is clear – reaching previously untouched communities while sowing deeper into the ones we are already in.

Advancing the work we have been doing in the prisons with FamilyCARE gave families a chance at reconciliation with their incarcerated husbands or fathers. It was as life-changing for us to witness these precious moments between father and child as it was for the inmates and their families!

We celebrated the creation of PARENTed – empowering parents through insightful workshops, dedicated family coaches, a solid community of support as well as readily accessible parenting resources. Another milestone was reached with our latest parenting programmes – in Mandarin!

Amidst these fresh happenings, we continued to persevere in shaping national

narratives through community events, corporate partnerships and inspiring content.

All these would not have been possible if not for your shared convictions and constant partnership.

Thank you – for our every success is also yours. Your unwavering support will build a nation that honours Family and remain good stewards of all that has been generously gifted.

We look towards 2018, ready to impact and reach more families than ever by all means, going digital and remaining personal.

Behold #SG100,

I was about to divorce my husband, years after he left our family. Through 家长教练堂 and with some one-on-one time with [the Trainer], she helped me see the importance of marriage to a healthy family. I reconnected with my husband, and he decided to return home and to our marriage. I also started a morning routine with my sons, eliminating tears and shouting, which really impressed my mother-in-law and improved all our relationships. My marriage still needs work, but I’m so thankful I came for the programme!

— MRS L I , 家长教练堂 PARTICIPANT

I’ve learnt so much at Parenting with Confidence with [the Trainers] and other parents! An immediate change we’ve made is to highlight our kids’ positive behaviour, instead of only pointing out their mistakes and dishing out ‘consequences’. While we’ve attended other talks, this course motivated us to discuss parenting issues as a couple and listen to the honest stories and great ideas. Thank you so much – the course has impacted our family positively!

The contest helped me to think about my marriage in a way which I had not done before. It was insightful to rethink what our marriage meant to me.

— DAWN ONG, CELEBRATE MARRIAGE CONTEST WINNER

Was pretty upset with my son over his behaviour earlier in the day. Then we chanced upon the Focus on the Family booth at PS where the staff gave out the ‘Love Your Mum’ handy kit. He filled the card on the train while I snoozed… and when I woke, he gave me a card and said it will surely make me laugh. Instead, I teared. Thanks Focus on the Family Singapore for the handy kit!

— ANG BEE P ING, THAT’S MY MUM PARTICIPANT

My dad is a man of few words with a stern appearance so it is easy

to label him as a fierce, strict and unfriendly man... yet he has done so

much for me quietly and as I grow older, I begin to understand that there are many different ways to

express love and my dad’s way of showing his love for me is with his

actions. Now that I am a mother, my father’s great love has inspired me to always be there for my children

to nurture and love them!”

This one-night urban camping experience gives dads an

irreplaceable opportunity to spend one-on-one time with their boys.

It is a wonderful time for the boys to discover themselves and grow

into honourable men, guided by their loving fathers.

Coming soon in 2018! After years of running hugely successful father-child events, we finally have one for all the loving mums who have been asking us to run a similar event for them! This hands-on workshop is specially for mothers and their (soon-to-be) teen to help them navigate transitions while learning to grow together.

Designed with the intention of being an unforgettable date, the

event encourages Dad to go beyond good food and bonding

activities to show his beloved daughter how she ought to be cared

for and treated. It is a unique moment for Dad to affirm her value

and identity as she blossoms into a confident young woman.

My son was not keen to attend the camp. Thankfully, the afternoon

activities helped engage him more, and he was very motivated at the night race activity. I sensed

he enjoyed the time we spent together, and I really believe that the breakthrough in our relationship took place then.

It used to be hard to communicate with my parents. Sometimes I felt they didn’t understand me and I didn’t understand them. Through FamChamps®, I learnt that it takes both to understand each other and there’s a way to get a point across without offending the other person.

I came back to help out because I’ve seen how this has changed my relationship with my parents for the better, plus I’ve learnt ways to help my friends who have difficulties. I want to impact my peers.

— RAPHAEL GUI , FAMCHAMPS ® ALUMNI

I was very wowed when I attended FamChamps® in 2015, the mentors...

genuinely desired to raise family champions from my generation.

FamChamps® helped light that little flame in us to bring families together.

Not only did we feel like family, we resonated with their vision and mission!

I’m so grateful to be a tiny part of the work [of strengthening families].

This is just the beginning and I’m excited for what is to come.

Because family is at the core of one’s identity, we

believe that unlocking an inmate’s heart comes before

unlocking their physical prison.

Through FamilyCARE, we want to help reduce recidivism

and give incarcerated fathers a chance to reconcile with their

family, and receive the social support they need to reintegrate

successfully into society.

Our 3 sons and one daughter squabbled a lot, so I was at my

wit’s end when I signed up for 家长教练堂. During the course, I

was encouraged to spend one-on-one time with them and develop

our relationships. Now, I feel more confident as a mother. 家长教

练堂 enabled me to see that it’s fundamentally about principles.

The follow-up sessions have been very helpful and we’ve signed up

for other age modules.

The Board of Directors provides leadership on strategic planning, financial management and

resource optimisation. Our directors do not receive any fees for their Board services rendered, and

there are no paid staff on the Board.

The Board is assisted by various committees comprising board members and professionals who

render their services on a voluntary basis and are not remunerated. The fundraising committee is

diligent in ensuring long-term financial sustainability and wise stewardship through fundraising

activities and strict accountability to the Board.

We engage professional internal and external auditors annually to ensure controls and good

governance within the organisation.

In keeping with good governance, all staff and Board members are required to declare any

potential conflicts of interest and abstain from decision-making when such situations arise.
