Mission Statement

Purpose To curb delinquency among disadvantaged young people and their families and to move them beyond their problems. We want to develop young people who respect the law, value education and seek to become responsible persons.

Values We believe that people have the ability to help themselves and can successfully reach their goals despite their disadvantages.

Strategy We take a long-term view and focus on impacting young lives by providing them access to social, educational and community support programmes. We value inter-organisational collaboration & will steadily expand by building networks of individu-als and organisations that can contribute towards our vision. We would thereforegladly work with others, as we believe that our target group will ultimately benefi t when more members of the community take an active interest in their well-being.

StandardsWe ensure quality social service by facilitating an organisational culture that re-wards passion, innovation, ongoing evaluation and the development of human re-sources.

Why we exist We exist to fi ght delinquency among children and youths especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds. It is a well-researched fact that it is an uphill task for such children to move beyond the unfortunate circumstances they were born into. Without assistance these children are prone to be trapped by delinquency and con-tinue to underachieve way into adulthood when they have children of their own.

However, arresting juvenile delinquency is not only about attending directly to such children. We have to address systems and environments troubled by delinquency and curb trends that suggest the escalation of juvenile related social problems.

Hence, I would like to express our sincere appreciation to those who have helped us and we look forward to their continued support. These are the schools, the voluntary welfare organizations, the child development centres, other community organisations and all our volunteers. We also thank long time partners such as the National Council of Social Service, the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports and the National Youth Council.

Finally, I have served as President since 2005 and my tenure ends in March 2009. It has been a privilege to serve with our Patrons Dr Sheryn Mah and Mrs Joy Balakrishnan, our Honorary Advisor Dr S Vasoo, fellow Board members, the staff and all volunteers as we strengthened our ability to keep young lives on track. Our joint efforts transformed a neighbourhood based organisation of 30 staff in 2005 to one with an island-wide focus within a year. There is now a 120 strong team that serves in the areas of abandoned babies and teen pregnancy crisis; guidance of young ‘offenders’; child protection and family preservation , and early childhood education for children from at-risk families. I would like to put on record my most sincere thanks, for the support the staff and my fellow volunteers have given me.

Sincerely,Stanley Tan

In November 2007, The Charity Council issued a Code of Governance for Charities and Institutions of Public Character (IPC). The key objective of this Code is to provide guidance on the principles and standards of good governance in the charity sector.

This year, we actively reviewed our systems and processes and are glad to report that we comply fully with the governance guidelines laid out in the Enhanced Section meant for IPCS & Large Charities with gross annual receipts of $10million or more. Compliance means that we are aligned with the best practices spelt out in the Council’s Governance Evaluation Checklist which covered the key areas of Board Governance, Strategic Planning, Confl icts of Interest, Programme Management, Human Resource Management, Financial Management and Controls, Fund Raising Practices, Disclosure and Transparency as well as Public Relations and Corporate Communications. However, we are also aware that we can continue to improve and we must strengthen our systems and processes on an ongoing basis.

At the service delivery level, the challenge of attending to the well-being and safety of young persons often required us to engage the different stakeholders who shared our concerns for them. These stakeholders included schools, fellow welfare organisations, the police, the Courts, the Ministry of Community Development Youth and Sports and other government bodies. This was a natural development because as our programmes mature and we gain in experience, we will serve children and youths caught up in more complex situations. Hence, in the course of the work, our staff were constantly confronted with the awareness that to be effective in the service of children and youths, it was of utmost importance to nurture partnerships and to work within the legal and other frameworks of the different stakeholders.

Across all our services, we also emphasised the important role the family plays in the nurturance and development of children. In the service area of Infants and Early Childhood, parental involvement was a regular feature throughout the year. Parents helped out with various activities and our staff visited parents at home to model and to explore the helpful home-based activities parents could do.

At our Family Service Centre, we utilised experiential learning activities for family strengthening. Parents and children reported that the activities were a useful way for them to raise and discuss issues that affected them. Getting children to benefi t from the guidance, wisdom and love of their family was especially important in the Kids United Home, our residential programme. We remain very conscious that out-of-home placements run the risk of weakening and devaluing family ties. Hence, family involvement is a key programme component. In the year ahead, the challenges facing children, youths and their families appear rather daunting as we brace ourselves for the impact of the economic downturn. We foresee social services to be busier than usual and we are aiming to provide timely support before families spiral downwards to a point when problems become entrenched. Our staff will have much to do but we remain confi dent that with the support and goodwill of our community we will continue to be effective and relevant.

2.1 About UsBeyond Social Services is a charity dedicated to reducing delinquency among children and youths from less privileged backgrounds. It provides guidance, care, protection and resources that keep young people in school and out of trouble.

2.1.1 Who We ServeMany of the young people we serve have a long family history of hardship and the challenges they face include the inability to meet basic household expenses, imprisonment of breadwinners, poor health, chronic addictions and family violence. However, these young people are resilient and have their own dreams, wills and aspirations. With a little support from resources in the community, they can move beyond their unfortunate circumstances.

2.1.2 Our Vision & GoalsBeyond’s vision is that by 2025, every child and youth in Singapore, despite a disadvantaged background has the opportunity to refuse a lifestyle of delinquency and welfare dependency. Beyond is guided by the following goals:

That children and youths steer clear of crime and drugs;

That children and youths achieve educational

2. INTRODUCING OURSELVES

Social problems are best resolved within the community and we avoid criminal or judicial proceedings where possible.

The essence of family life is co-operation, not togetherness.

2.1.4 Our Services & FacilitiesOur Services are organized into 4 departments:

1. Infants & Early Childhood2. Children, Youth & Restorative Justice3. Family Services 4. Residential & Child Protection

We prefer not to go about building centres or facilities. Wherever possible we will rent, borrow or cooperate with others to share their existing facilities. Taking this approach we will be able to grow the work without incurring too much set-up cost. Generally, without the need for ‘permanent’ offi ces, we can respond to community needs more nimbly.

While our proactive work approach takes us to schools, neighbourhoods, community facilities and youth haunts, our staff teams and centre-based programmes are housed in the premises below.

2.1.5 Our Sources of FundingFund raising activities are a signifi cant source of funds. Operating expenses are also defrayed by public donations managed by the National Council of Social Service, government grants and the generosity of philanthropic establishments, commercial corporations and well-wishers.

2.1.6 How We WorkBeyond believes that everyone has a role to play in the betterment of our society. While a staff team runs the organisation, Beyond is fully aware that it cannot achieve its goals without the support of the community. Thus, Beyond depends substantially on volunteers; people who support our cause with their time and energy. Volunteers work closely with the staff and play a crucial role in the implementation of services and the smooth running of the organisation.

success that enables them to earn a living and realise a more meaningful life;

That children and youths are prepared to become responsible adults who manage their families or households competently.

That parents, children and youths attain skills that enable them to manage money prudently for their long-term fi nancial needs;

That parents and caregivers take an active interest in the well-being and development of their children and youths.

2.1.3 Our Helping Principles We must not act on behalf of clients where there

is a potential confl ict of interest. It is in the best interests of children to remain with

their families or natural support groups. Residential care must always be a short-term

arrangement. Help should build on people’s strengths and not

simply remedy their weaknesses. A helping relationship is a respectful partnership

between us and the people we engage.

2. INTRODUCING OURSELVES (CON’T)

OverviewInfants and children in their early childhood are vulnerable when their care-givers lack the resources or support to care for them adequately. Thus, our job was to reach these children whose families and care-givers were under-supported and overstressed as early as possible. Besides placing these children into the relevant care and educational programmes, we supported them by supporting their care-givers. We linked their care-givers to resources in the community such as employment opportunities, fi nancial assistance and so forth to enhance their ability to provide a sense of stability for their children.

For families who experienced a sense of isolation we bridged them to the resources in their natural support networks. Family, friends and other loose ties were valuable support and resources when we succeeded in making the connections.

As we continue to identify with the plight of disadvantaged children, we must always remember that it is in children’s best interest to remain with their families and natural support networks. Our primary task is to support these families and natural support networks; work with them as partners, value and utilise their resources and never treat them as though they were the problem.

Our Programmes1. Healthy Start Child Development Centre We provide children with a quality environment that nurtures their growth and developmental needs emotionally, socially, cognitively and physically. We will do this by providing quality pre-school curriculum and nurturing a positive partnership with their care givers. Admission to the programme is by invitation as we are the safety net for children who fall through the cracks.

We were heartened to see that children who joined the programme early and attended regularly made great strides in their learning and overall development. These children managed average results at the end of Primary One.

The majority of the children though do not come to us early or regularly enough and need the close attention of a teacher for them to make progress. However, despite being structured for a smaller teacher-student ratio, we have been unable to fi ll up our staffi ng quota as there is a shortage of early childhood educators in the sector.

Thankfully the continued support and goodwill from the community provided us with volunteers who enriched the programme with their resources, time and energy.

2. Healthy Start ProgrammeWe will seek out infants and preschoolers from disadvantaged families and ensure that their physical, intellectual, emotional and social developmental needs are met. We will do this through outreach activities, linking them to early childhood education programmes and forming partnerships with their care givers. This early intervention will enable them to discover their potential to learn and provide them a strong foundation for primary school education. To be effective we need to work closely with the government, Healthy Start Programme Operators and other community partners.

This programme continued to be an important safety net for children and families who faced multiple social challenges. Our challenge was to reach these children early and to form partnerships with care-givers that focused on the educational needs of their children. Hence, we are glad that the nurses and the medical social workers at the KK Women & Children Hospital have reassured us that they recognised the importance of the Programme and will continue to facilitate our presence in the hospital for mothers and new-borns in need.

At the KK Women and Children’s Hospital we spoke to 1701 women in the maternity wards. Many of the women had mixed feelings. While their new born

brought them much joy, they were aware of the added responsibilities and were concerned about being fi nancially strained. Nonetheless, the majority felt that they could count on their family and friends for support. Only 25 sought to join the programme and 153 others requested for our assistance in referring them to support services nearer their home.

4. CHILDREN, YOUTH & RESTORATIVE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT

SummaryWe noticed that whenever the media covered the diffi culties and issues confronting youths, there would usually be suggestions to impose more discipline on them. Tougher legal measures were advocated as the cure for the ‘ill-discipline’ of our young people. In the course of our work, we have experienced such sentiment in the form of less tolerance towards the young person who does not fi t in nicely into an organised system or a structured environment. Sadly, we also experienced a lack of patience for the young person who awkwardly lacks the social skills to make friends or to relate with authority fi gures.

We believe that this pessimistic view of young people and the suggestions from helping & teaching professionals to utilise legal means as a discipline tool only serve to exacerbate the strained family relationships that often play a part in the troubles of the young person. Parenting and guiding a troubled young person is hard work but it is also an opportunity for families to ‘reclaim’ their children and strengthen bonds. Helping professionals like us are supposed to support families in such diffi cult endeavours and not to simply recommend punishment as the ‘rehabilitative’ tool. Young persons who fi nd themselves institutionalised with offenders even though they have not committed a crime will fi nd it hard to reconcile that their parents have their best interests at heart. Rebuilding the parent-child relationship during or after the period of institutionalisation will be an uphill task

During the year, we experienced success with our restorative approach towards discipline that focussed on the repairing and strengthening of relationships between troubled young persons and their family. Families who work with us quickly realised the futility of sending their children into institutions when they considered its ill-effects. We also worked closely with the police to reduce the incidence

Our neighbourhood outreach teams worked closely with the police to reduce the incidence of inhalant abuse in the various neighbourhoods. This partnership with the police also helped us to put in place care and supervision plans for 8 young offenders, diverting them away from the juvenile justice system.

On the preventive and developmental aspects of our programme, we succeeded in getting more than 30 youths to pursue their sporting interest more seriously in competitive athletic and professional football clubs. For the girls who were not inclined towards sports, close collaboration with the Beautiful People Programme enabled 40 to attend monthly enrichment programmes that looked into the development of personal and work skills. 16 of these girls are now serving as youth leaders with the Beautiful People Programme - a volunteer project that creates a platform for professionals and skilled persons to share skills and spend time with teen girls associated with various community organisations.

Also, we are particularly proud of 3 youths who were awarded a scholarship to complete a Diploma in Travel and Tourism Studies by Kaplan Singapore. Finally, in both Ang Mo Kio and the Bukit Merah areas, our close partnership with the T-Net Clubs, enabled us to meaningfully engage youths with a range of educational and recreational activities, keeping their lives on track.

SummaryOur longer term interest is to support schools as they adopt a restorative approach towards discipline and other problems presented by students. Hence, we were grateful for the teacher training sessions that schools set aside for us. After these sessions, most teachers wanted to know whether such practices could guarantee an orderly classroom for lessons to be taught. We could not offer such guarantees but continued to explain that these practices kept students engaged through a relationship with their teachers and in the process students learnt skills to better manage their emotions; get along with others and cooperate with authority.

Restorative approaches promote the development of the person and eventually would achieve a classroom of self-motivated students. Authority is used to understand and guide students and not just to get them to comply with existing norms. Co-operation through mutual respect has educational

value and defi nitely lasts longer than co-operation secured by authority. Teachers who participated in the experiential learning activities with their students reported that relationship building was helpful in building a positive view of their students. Those that carried out talking circles found most of their students to be articulate and balanced when problem solving.

Schools now have more resources such as counsellors and teacher-aides for pastoral care but a restorative school environment will need the support of the school leadership and the cooperation of the entire staff. We will continue to support schools by attending to their most troubling students and hopefully in the process strengthen our partnership with them.

LIFE will also build into its curriculum, opportunities to inculcate moral values. To be effective, we will be a driver to ensure that children, their families and schools work cooperatively in the context of the programme.184 children & 553 care-givers served

OverviewService users could be broadly categorised into 2 groups: 1.Those who needed urgent and intensive case-management so that their situations could be stabilised and 2. Those once placed on a welfare scheme, got on quite nicely. The majority of service–users belonged to category 2 but those needing intensive case-management presented challenging issues that required families to dialogue in a way that was helpful for problem solving.

Hence, to facilitate communication and the strengthening of relationships, we put these families through adventure based experiential learning exercises. We worked with small groups of families where participants could benefi t from private family time as well as mutual learning between different families. Participants expressed that they enjoyed this active way of learning and found themselves having meaningful conversations within their families.

During these sessions, we consciously drew out from the participants relevant information on parenting, nutrition and so forth highlighting to them that they already had such expertise within themselves. Participants found this empowering and we believe that this is a more respectful way of promoting positive parenting.

About the ProgrammesASK (Attitude, Skills and Knowledge) the Parents Workshops equip participants with the attitude, skills and knowledge necessary for effective parenting. Topics included Health Education; Nutrition, Home Safety for young children and Family Planning.

A team of nutritionists offered participants culturally appropriate tips on practical and affordable meals for young children that are balanced and nutritious. Doctors taught how to manage contagious diseases and to create a safe home environment that minimizes accidents for children. Family planning sessions were also conducted by doctors.

Where necessary, families were supported with a supply of milk and diapers until their situation improved.

HOPE (Home Ownership Plus Education) Scheme helps families with limited resources access & to remain on the Home Ownership Plus Education grants provided by the government so that they can better provide for the educational needs of their children, upgrade their work skills and increase their family income. However, in our attempt to promote the HOPE Scheme we will be respectful of families who have chosen to have more than 2 children and we will link them to other appropriate services if necessary.

Triple P (Positive Parenting Programme) promotes positive, caring relationships between parents and their children, and help parents develop effective management strategies for dealing with a variety of childhood behaviour problems and common developmental issues. This programme is for parents of preadolescent children from birth to age 12 years.

The Toughlove Parent Support Group is for parents whose teenagers will not accept tender loving care. Not from their parents, their teachers, their guidance counsellors, nor other concerned adults. The Toughlove Programme is not meant to punish children but to help them act responsibly towards themselves and those that care for them.

SummaryWe ceased the operations of Community Beyond when the 2-year pilot project with the Ministry of Community Development, Youth & Sports ended in July. All residents were discharged back to their families or placed in other appropriate community services. Our existing resources were redeployed to the Kids United Home which moved to larger premises. Kids United Home which is a Place of Safety and an Approved Home listed in the Government Gazette increased its capacity from 12 to 24 residents.

Community Beyond which provided a period of stability for youths who were recently discharged from an institution could not fulfi l its original aim of catering to those from the Singapore Boys’ and Girls’ Home as the majority of youths upon their release preferred to count on the support of their natural networks. This was understandable as after having been institutionalised, these youths wanted their freedom and did not fancy moving from one institution into another even though our facility was not a secure environment. Hence over the last 2 years, we only served 1 person from the Singapore Boys’ and Girls Homes in the original aim, and our facility was fi lled with those undergoing a programme at the Reformative Training Centre and teenagers challenged by care and protection issues. From June 2006 to July 2008, we served a total of 39 young persons.

6. RESIDENTIAL & CHILD PROTECTION DEPARTMENT (CON’T) 6. RESIDENTIAL & CHILD PROTECTION DEPARTMENT (CON’T)

Nonetheless, the challenging work was an important learning experience that strengthened our helping philosophy and practices for residential services. It was learning that was transferable as we focused our resources on children facing challenges with care and protection issues and the Kids United Home. Our programme at the Kids United home was strengthened to facilitate resilience, family ties and a stronger partnership with the government who in most cases is the Statutory Protector of the Child.

This Department has been reshaped slightly to support and advocate for young people and their care-givers troubled by the issue of child protection. The programmes all play an important part in the different stages of the work. The Kids United Daily Care Programme serves as a preventive and post-care intervention, the Home as a stabilising and family strengthening programme while Safe Kids is a crisis management programme.

Since 2005, the Safe Kids Programme has supported more than 300 children and 800 of their family members to create safe and nurturing homes. As we continue to advocate for them we must remember that to be effective it is of utmost importance to nurture partnerships with others who share our concerns for them and to work within legal and other frameworks of the different stakeholders.

About the Programmes1. Kids United Daily Care & Guidance This programme serves as an important protective factor for children identifi ed to be in need of care and protection preventing their admission into a residential facility. It also serves as a ‘half-way’ programme that stabilises children who have been released from residential care.

This care and guidance programme operates every weekday from 9.00 a.m. to 8.00 p.m. The target group are children deemed to lack adult guidance, basic care or to be prone to delinquency, truancy and premature school leaving . On weekends, the children are involved in sports and other activities.

Key Objectives: To provide a safe and stable environment where

children are protected from negative infl uences. To help children stay in school and achieve

academic success To instil the values of personal responsibility, self-

respect and consideration for others.

To impart life skills such as teamwork, time-management, budgeting and family functioning.

To encourage parents and care givers to take an active interest in their children’s development.

133 children & 58 care-givers served

2. Kids United HomeKids United Home has a capacity for 24 children who are organised into small groups of 4 who are supervised by one residential care and guidance worker. Siblings are grouped together and as much as possible, family involvement is encouraged and respected.

What we doWe provide a short-term residential care programme for children aged 7 -14 years old (referred by MCYS or within Beyond) who are unable to remain at home for various reasons that affect their well-being.

How we do itWe work towards minimizing the ill-effects of an out-of-home placement by small group care that builds resilience through a residential programme that provides children a sense of belonging as well as the opportunities to be good at something, to make decisions and to show consideration for others.

The programme also works at strengthening children’s links with their families and natural support networks.

Why we do it this wayKids United Home is an institution and acknowledging this, is the fi rst step towards minimizing the ill-effects associated with institutional care.

Our institution believes that when a child is not cooperative, it is because our system is not working and not because we have a problem child.

Each day, a child should know some joy and look forward to some joy on the next.

3. Safe Kids is a harm minimisation programme that attends to alleged child abuse immediately. We provide crisis management, attend to clear & present danger and monitor care and safety plans in close collaboration with the Child Protection and Welfare Services of the government

We believe that it is in the best interest of young people to be cared for in the community by

their families or natural support network. State supervision and residential care must always be short-term solutions that if necessary, are utilised as opportunities to strengthen families and their natural support networks with the view that they have the primary responsibility and right to raise their children. Our partnership with MCYS is key and together we will form 2 arms of the Child Protection System. This will be a balanced two-prong approach where the perspectives and resources of both the State and the Community are considered and harnessed for the safety of young people and their longer-term well being.121 young people and 290 care-givers served

7. PARTNERSHIP & TALENT DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT 8. FINANCE & ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT

OverviewThis team looks into the strengthening of partnerships with stakeholders who contribute to the sustainability and growth of our work. Stakeholders include donors, volunteers, corporations and community organisations and the staff. The team’s tasks include fund-raising, volunteer management, research and training programmes that nurture and sustain the staff.

Highlights for the year are as follows:

The Beyond DinnerThe event held on 25 April raised $1 425 000. PSA Singapore Terminals (PSA) as main sponsor contributed S$100,000. Cost for the entire event was fully sponsored and the Guest of Honour was Mr Mah Bow Tan, Minister for National Development.

There were more than 600 guests and the highlight was a performance by Minister Mah Bow Tan and a band of musicians comprising representatives from the Government, Beyond, the private sector, the volunteers and the benefi ciaries that raised $513,900. Besides serving as a fi nale to the evening, it symbolically demonstrated the many helping hands approach.

The Citi-Milk RunThe event attracted 10,053 participants and raised $1,143,051 and it was another success mainly because of how our main sponsors Citi and Co-sponsors PSA Corporation Ltd rallied support for us from their associates. We also have to thank the Mainly I Love Kids Fund and for directing many resources our way.

Talent Development Certifi cate in Systemic Case Management

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OFTO THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT OF BEYOND SOCIAL SERVICES

We have audited the accompanying fi nancial statements of BEYOND SOCIAL SERVICES (“the Society”), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2008, and the statement of fi nancial activities, statement of changes in funds and cash fl ow statement for the fi nancial year then ended, and a summary of signifi cant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. The audited fi nancial statements for the fi nancial year ended 31 December 2007 were audited by another fi rm of Certifi ed Public Accountants who expressed an unqualifi ed opinion on 19 March 2008.

THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSThe Society’s Board of Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these fi nancial statements in accordance with the provisions of the Societies Act (Chapter 311), Charities Act (Chapter 37) and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes:

(a) devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls suffi cient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair income statement and balance sheet to maintain accountability of assets;

(b) selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and

(c) making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances

AUDITORS’ RESPONSIBILITYOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these fi nancial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the fi nancial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the fi nancial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the fi nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the fi nancial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by Board of Management, as well as evaluating of the fi nancial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for ouraudit opinion.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These notes form an integral part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying fi nancial statements.

1 THE SOCIETY AND ITS PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY The Bukit Ho Swee Community Service Project, the predecessor of the Beyond Social Services was originally established in August 1969. The Bukit Ho Swee Social Service Centre was registered as a Society (herein referred to as ‘the Society’) in 1987. It is registered as a charity under the Charities Act, Chapter 37 Since Year 1988.

On 15 October 2001, the Society was known as Beyond Social Services. The registered address of the Society is Block 26, Jalan Klinik, #01-42 / 52, Singapore 160026.

The principal activities of the Society are to provide counselling and care services for children and young persons, to assist where possible families in need and to encourage voluntary social service and responsible citizenship.

The Society is approved as an institution of a public character (IPC) under the provisions of the Income Tax Act. The Society’s tax exempt status will expire on 30 June 2013.

The fi nancial statements of the Society for the fi nancial year ended 31 December 2008 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Management on 23 March 2009.

2 BOARD OF MANAGEMENT

The Society is governed by the Board of Management. All Board members are volunteers and received no monetary remunerations for their contributions.

For the fi nancial year under review, the members of the Management Committee were as follows:

Stanley Tan - President Goh Chee Kong - Vice President Norman Wong - Honorary Secretary Chua Kee Lock - Honorary Treasurer Janet Lyn - Committee Member Douglas Foo - Committee Member Lee Lung Nien - Committee Member Molly Lim - Founder Member Representative

3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3.1 Basis of preparation

The fi nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Societies Act, (Chapter 311), Charities Act, (Chapter 37), Recommended Accounting Practice 6 and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (FRS)

The fi nancial statements are prepared under the historical cost basis except as disclosed in the accounting policies below.

The preparation of fi nancial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. All these judgements, estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual may ultimately differ from those estimates.

The fi nancial statements are expressed in Singapore dollars (SGD or $).

The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Society and are consistent with those used in the previous fi nancial year.

3.2 Changes in accounting policies

The following INT FRSs are effective for annual period beginning 1 January 2008:

- INT FRS 111 FRS 102 – Group and Treasury Share Transactions - INT FRS 112 Service Concession Arrangements - INT FRS 114 FRS 19 – The Limit on a Defi ned Benefi t Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and Their Interaction

The adoption of the above interpretations does not have any impact on the fi nancial statements.

3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

3.3 Future changes in accounting policies

The Society has not adopted the following FRS and INT FRS that have been issued but not yet effective: Effective date (Annual periods Reference Description beginning on or after) INT FRS 113 : Customer Loyalty Programmes 1 July 2008 FRS 1 : - Presentation of Financial Statements – Revised presentation 1 January 2009 - Presentation of Financial Statements – Amendments relating to Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation 1 January 2009 FRS 23 : Borrowing Costs 1 January 2009 FRS 32 : Financial Instruments: Presentation – Amendments relating to Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation 1 January 2009 FRS 102 : Share-based payment – Vesting conditions and cancellations 1 January 2009 FRS 108 : Operating Segments 1 January 2009

The Board of Management expect that the adoption of the above pronouncements will have no material impact to the fi nancial statements in the period of initial application.

3.4 Functional currency

The management has determined the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Society operates i.e. functional currency, to be SGD. Donation received, sales prices and major costs of providing goods and services including major operating expenses are primarily infl uenced by fl uctuations in SGD.


3.5 Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment. The cost of plant and equipment initially recognised include its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the plant and equipment to working condition for its intended use. Subsequent expenditure relating to plant and equipment that has already been recognised is added to the carrying amount of the asset only when it is probable that future economic benefi ts associated with the item will follow to the Society and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance expenses are recognised in the statement of fi nancial activities when incurred.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis to allocate the cost of the assets less residual values over their estimated useful lives. The annual rates of depreciation are:-

Air-conditioner 5 years Computer 3 years Equipment 5 years Furniture & fi ttings 5 years Leasehold improvement 5 years Motor vehicle 5 years

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each fi nancial year end to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefi ts embodied in the items of plant and equipment.

An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefi ts are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on derecognition of the asset is included in the statement of fi nancial activities in the year the plant and equipment is derecognised.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

52 53


3.6 Impairment of non-fi nancial assets

The carrying amounts of the Society’s assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. All impairment losses are recognised in the statement of fi nancial activities whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount.

An impairment loss is only revised to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or impairment, if no impairment loss had been recognised. All reversals of impairment are recognised in the statement of fi nancial activities.

3.7 Financial assets

Loans and receivables

Financial assets are recognised on the balance sheet when, and only when, the Society becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the fi nancial instrument.

When fi nancial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus transaction costs.

All regular way purchases and sales of fi nancial assets are recognised or derecognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the Society commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of fi nancial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned.

Non-derivative fi nancial assets with fi xed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classifi ed as loans and receivables. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment losses. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of fi nancial activities when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.

The Society classifi es the following fi nancial assets as loans and receivables: cash and cash equivalents other receivables


3.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, bank balances and fi xed deposits. Cash carried in the balance sheet is classifi ed and accounted for as loans and receivables under FRS 39.

3.9 Impairment of fi nancial assets

The Society assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a fi nancial asset or group of fi nancial assets is impaired.

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash fl ows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the fi nancial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in the statement of fi nancial activities.

When the fi nancial asset becomes uncollectible, the carrying amount of impaired fi nancial assets is reduced directly or if an amount was charged to the allowance account, the amounts charged to the allowance account are written off against the carrying value of the fi nancial asset. To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on fi nancial assets has been incurred, the Society considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or signifi cant fi nancial diffi culties of the debtor and default or signifi cant delay in payments. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of fi nancial activities, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date.


54 55


3.10 Derecognition of fi nancial assets

A fi nancial asset is derecognized where the contractual rights to receive cash fl ows from the asset have expired.

On derecognition of a fi nancial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that has been recognized directly in equity is recognized in the statement of fi nancial activities.

3.11 Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities include trade and other payables, which are normally settled on 30-90 day terms and payables to related parties. Financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet when, the Society becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the fi nancial instrument. Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value of consideration received less attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of fi nancial activities when the liabilities are derecognised and through the amortization process. The liabilities are derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired.

3.12 Funds

Fund balances restricted by outside sources are so indicated and are distinguished from unrestricted funds allocated to specifi c purposes if any by action of the management. Externally restricted funds may only be utilized in accordance with the purposes established by the source of such funds and are in contrast with unrestricted funds over which management retains full control to use in achieving any of its institutional purposes.

3.13 Provision

Provisions are recognised when the Society has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event where it is probable that it will result in an outfl ow of economic benefi ts to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to refl ect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outfl ow of resources embodying economic benefi ts will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre- tax rate that refl ects, where appropriate, the risks specifi c to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a fi nance cost.


3.14 Operating leases

Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risk and benefi ts of ownership of the lease term, are classifi ed as operating leases.

Operating lease payments are charged to the statement of fi nancial activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made to the lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination takes place.

3.15 Employee benefi ts

(a) Defi ned contribution plan

As required by law, the Society makes contributions to the state pension scheme, the Central Provident Fund (CPF). CPF contributions are recognised as compensation expenses in the same period as the employment that gives rise to the contribution.

(b) Employee leave entitlement

Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognized when they accrued to employees. Unused annual leave are not allowed to be carried forward to the following calendar year.

3.16 Incoming Resources

(a) Donations

Donations and income from fund-raising projects are recognised as and when received.

(b) Grants

Government subventions are recognised as income according to the terms of the funding agreements, on an accruals basis.


56 57


3.16 Incoming Resources (continued)

(c) Membership fees

Membership subscriptions are recognised on accrual basis..

(d) Render of services

Income from providing services is recognised when the services are rendered in accordance with the agreements.

(e) Interest income

Income on bank current accounts and fi xed deposits placed with banks are recognised on accrual basis.

3.17 Resources Expended

All expenditures are accounted for on accrual basis, aggregated under the respective areas. Direct costs are attributed to the activity where possible. Where costs cannot be wholly attributable to an activity, they have been apportioned on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

(a) Allocation of support costs

Support costs comprise staff costs relating to general management, human resource and administration, accounting and fi nance, partnership and community building functions and have been allocated to charitable activities and governance based on the headcount required of the activity.

(b) Costs of generating funds from fund-raising activities

These costs are directly attributable to the fund-raising activities, separate from those costs incurred in undertaking charitable activities. These costs are fully met by contributions in the form of cash sponsorships and grants.

(c) Charitable activities

14 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(a) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The main risk arising from the Society’s fi nancial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The Society has no foreign currency risk. The board policies for managing these risks are summarized below.

Credit risk

Credit risk is limited to risk arising from the inability of receivables to make payments when fall due.

Exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of other receivables and cash and cash equivalents represents the Society’s maximum exposure to credit risk. No other fi nancial asset carries a signifi cant exposure to credit risk.

Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired

Other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are receivables from government subvention, fundraising activities, deposits and prepayments. Cash and cash equivalents that are neither past due nor impaired are placed with or entered into with reputable fi nancial institutions with high credit ratings and no history of default.

Financial assets that are either past due or impaired

The Society has Nil (2007: Nil) fi nancial assets that are either past due or impaired.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the risk in which the Society is unable to meet its short term obligations and this arises due to shortage of funds.

Liquidity risk for the Society is minimal as the Society is able to meet its funding requirements through its operations.


72 73

14 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

(a) Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)

Liquidity risk (continued)

At the balance sheet date, the Society has non-derivative fi nancial liabilities that are other payables amounting to $246,057 (2007:$314,395) which will mature within 1 year or less.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk relates to fi xed deposits.

The Society’s fi xed deposit has an interest ranging from 0.45% to 1.25% (2007: 0.68% to 2.74%).

The fi xed deposit is exposed to market interest rate risk which the Society has no policies in place to mitigate the effect.

The Society’s interest rate risk is minimal.

Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk

At the balance sheet date, if the interest rate risk had been 100 basis points lower / higher with all other variables held constant, the Society’s (outgoing resources) / incoming resources net of tax would have been $39,218 (2007:$15,137) higher / lower arising mainly as a result of a lower / higher interest income on fi xed deposits.

(b) Fair values of fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities

The fair value of fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities reported in the balance sheet approximates the carrying amount of those assets and liabilities, as these are short term in nature.

During the fi nancial year, no amount (2007: NIL) has been recognised in the statement of fi nancial activities in relation to the change in fair value of fi nancial assets or fi nancial liabilities estimated using a valuation technique.

15 COMPARATIVE FIGURES The fi nancial statements for last year were reported on by other Certifi ed Public Accountants who expressed an unqualifi ed opinion on 19 March 2008.

Certain reclassifi cations have been made to the prior years fi nancial statements to enhance comparability with current year’s fi nancial statement.
