We’re about seeing lives transformed
Our story
Our journey began in 1996 when Dr Tan Kok Beng, our founder, felt a sincere desire to help children from low-income and/or vulnerable backgrounds.
He knew that early intervention is the best way to help these children, as he himself was given a lifeline out of his circumstances growing up.
Even when life has handed them cards they may not have wished for, they can still make choices that yield different life outcomes.
With this heartbeat, Life Community Services Society was born. Every child has his/her own unique strengths and talents, and we aspire to fulfill our vision of “Every child, the best that they can be”.

Our work
We serve more than 900 children and families from low-income and/or vulnerable backgrounds through our five core services annually.
We have seen that challenging family situations such as financial challenges, parental incarceration and neglect could cause much emotional stress, trauma, and wounds in their children.
When a child experiences such stressors in the long run, their cognitive and emotional development are hindered. They find it hard to develop essential traits such as resilience and grit, which are crucial to help them break out of their circumstances. This also sets them back earlier on in life.
We aim to close these gaps, help our beneficiaries build strong foundations in their growing years and to reach their fullest potential, with resilience and purpose, later in life.
