Achievements

SNM won the award for Best Active Ageing Programme – Community, in partnership with Cycling Without Age Singapore for ‘Moving Generations’ at the finale of the 9th Asia Pacific Eldercare Innovation Awards 2021 on December 3rd, 2021.

We were also finalists in two other categories: Best Dementia Care Programme and Best Day Centre Operator.

SNM would like to thank our community partners, our volunteers from Cycling Without Age, and our dedicated staff who made this all possible! SNM will keep striving do our best to become a charity of choice for the community, regardless of race, language, or religion!

The Ministry of Health (MOH) has awarded Sree Narayana Mission (Singapore) [SNM] the contract to manage a second nursing home facility in Yishun for an initial period of 3 years. The new nursing home will be situated along Yishun Ave 6 and has an estimated capacity of over 300 beds.

As the health and social services landscape continue to evolve, SNM aims to support the national vision of progressing as one by ensuring that all its institutions and services remain robust and accessible to all Singaporeans – especially the vulnerable.

We are proud to share that we will be operating our third nursing home in the upcoming ‘Lorong Chencharu’ precinct in Nee Soon GRC! By 2028, we will be managing a total of 832 beds, a significant expansion from our current 224-bed facility!

This expansion reflects our dedication to meeting the growing demand for quality eldercare services in Singapore and underscores SNM’s commitment to being a key player in the Community Care sector in the decades to come.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the government and all our stakeholders for their unwavering support and trust in our ability to care for our seniors.

A monument called ‘Momentary Monument’ was unveiled on 16 February at Block 313 Sembawang Drive as a reminder to Singaporeans of the nation’s development from a “mud-flat, swamp” to a “metropolis”.

Those were the words uttered by founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew on Sept 12, 1965, in his historic speech “From Mudflats To Metropolis”, close to the marker near Block 313 Sembawang Drive, which used to be the former Sree Narayana Mission (Singapore).

Mr MK Bhasi, former President of the Mission in 1965 who hosted Mr Lee Kuan Yew at the Mission during the delivery of his speech, was also present at the launch alongside other members who witnessed the famous ‘Never Fear’ speech.

SNM is one of the 81 benefitting agencies supported by the President’s Challenge 2022 for the Helping Hands Plus Programme with an allocation of $98,800. The SNM Helping Hands Project is a community initiative jointly developed with the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC), with the aim of raising awareness in the community, specifically in the Indian community on mental health and wellness.

This year’s President’s Challenge focuses on ‘Supporting Lower-Income Families’ and aims to empower them with skills and opportunities to help them emerge stronger from the pandemic. 

Congratulations to Team SNM for their hard work in achieving this!

Our heartfelt congratulations to our beneficiaries, Mdm Pandithurai Parimala and Mdm Rajeswari for making it to the top 5 finalists at the 29th Exemplary Mother Award (EMA).

About the Awards

​The Charity Transparency Award (CTA) and Charity Governance Awards (CGA) recognises charities that have adopted good transparency and governance standards. An initiative of the Charity Council, the awards aim to promote good transparency and governance in the charity sector by acknowledging the excellent work of charities, while inspiring others to emulate their best practices.

First launched in 2015, the Charity Transparency Framework (CTF) aimed to improve transparency and accountability in the charity sector. The CTF with its Charity Disclosure Scorecard acts as a guide to help charities take active steps to improve charity transparency. The scorecard also serves as a self-diagnostic tool for charities to assess themselves against identified good disclosures standards. It is not mandatory.

To qualify for the Charity Transparency Awards, charities must meet the following criteria:​

• Be a registered charity and/or an Institution of a Public Character (IPC) which has been in operation in Singapore for at least three years;​
• Have submitted their Annual reports (AR), Financial Statements (FS) and Governance Evaluation Checklist (GEC) on time for the two immediate preceding financial years; and​
• Have gross annual receipts of not less than $50,000 in the immediate preceding financial year.

SNM has won the Charity Transparency Awards in 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023 and remains committed to good governance practices.

Congratulations to Ms Jezsica Ida Su, Ms Yogeswari Chandrasekaran, Ms Nalina Kumari Resmi and Ms Saravanan Mahalakshmi on being awarded the Healthcare Humanity Award! The award recognises inspirational role models who have gone the extra mile to offer care and comfort to those in need.

We applaud the SNM Staff for their remarkable achievements and thank them for their dedication to healthcare and the well-being of others. Their contributions serve as a shining example of what can be achieved when individuals come together to support their community in times of crisis.
