CKS Spreads Christmas Cheer at Hope Centre Singapore with CSR Activity

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 19 December 2024 - In the spirit of giving and togetherness, CKS Property Consultants, a property valuation company in Singapore, participated in a heartwarming Christmas celebration at Hope Centre Singapore on 6th December 2024.



CKS

A Day of Joy and Bonding

Hope Centre Singapore is a non-profit voluntary welfare organisation established in 1997. Held at the Centre’s location at 806 King George’s Avenue, the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) event saw 30 youths and 30 seniors take part in various engaging activities, supported by CKS staff and the Centre’s volunteers. The participants were divided into groups to enjoy customised activities for youths and seniors. Highlights included lively group games, Christmas craft-making sessions, and a spirited round of BINGO. To foster a sense of community and fun, competitions were held to showcase the best craft creations, with prizes awarded to the winners.

Adding a sweet touch to the day, CKS sponsored cupcakes for all attendees, further spreading festive cheer. Seniors also enjoyed a relaxed get-together, sharing conversations and laughter with the volunteers.

Supporting a Worthy Cause

As part of the community engagement programme, CKS pledged $3,000 to sponsor Christmas gifts for 30 children and to support Hope Centre Singapore’s ongoing programmes. The advance Christmas gifts were a memorable highlight for the youths, who received presents of their choice.

“This event was deeply fulfilling for all of us at CKS. It strengthened our team bonds and reminded us of the importance of enhancing the well-being of the community,” said Ednas Wong, Associate Director of the company.

Impact and Reflections

The event was a success, not only in spreading holiday joy but also in reinforcing CKS’s dedication to making a difference in the community. The interactions with seniors highlighted the importance of giving time and attention to those in need, while the youth activities inspired a spirit of creativity and camaraderie.

“By engaging with individuals from all walks of life, we aim to promote inclusivity and kindness, building strong connections within the community. We look forward to organising more meaningful initiatives in the future,” said Ednas Wong, Associate Director of the company.

What’s Next

CKS aims to continue its efforts in giving back to society with future CSR outreach programmes. Plans include involving staff members’ families in upcoming initiatives to further extend the reach of meaningful activities.
