SG Cares is a national movement to build a caring and inclusive home for all, where Singaporeans can show care and consideration to others. In 2018, pilot studies on how to grow more volunteers and better channel their efforts to areas where they can have greater impact in the neighbourhood were established in two towns.

The pilots showed that a dedicated effort at the local-level to grow the volunteer pool, build their capabilities, and coordinate the demand and supply of volunteers, was important to make a sustained impact. Hence, MCCY will be partnering community groups to establish Volunteer Centres (VC) for volunteer matching, deployment and training in the towns.
