Helping Where It Matters

Singapore

OCBC-SDSC SwimTogether Programme

We launched the OCBC-SDSC SwimTogether Programme, Singapore's first structured water safety initiative for Persons with Disabilities. Fully funded by OCBC, the programme supports 100 participants across 800 classes led by trained coaches and OCBC staff volunteers. Classes use adaptive swimming aids and are held at venues with heated pools, tactile flooring and wheelchair-friendly facilities. We also provide free transport for participants with high-dependency needs.

OCBC Seremban medical equipment donation

Together with Klinik Kesihatan Bukit Pelandok in Port Dickson, the OCBC Seremban branch funded RM19,352 worth of essential medical equipment to strengthen healthcare services for rural communities. 9,000 B40 patients in 2025, and about 108,000 individuals across 10 villages over the next 12 years will receive timely and reliable medical care. Complementing this effort, 50 OCBC staff volunteers handcrafted personalised wish cards to uplift patients and healthcare staff.

Ramadan Food Distribution

In celebration of OCBC Indonesia's 84th anniversary and the month of Ramadan, the teams in Indonesia and OCBC Syariah distributed 1,000 food packages to families in need across Jakarta, Banten, and West Java. Volunteers spent their weekends working alongside the locals to deliver food packages to the community. More than 300 OCBC volunteers organised and distributed the packages to foster children and other vulnerable groups. This ensured that support reached those who needed it most.

China

Little Green Summer Camp

"Little Green Summer Camp" let young participants from underprivileged backgrounds explore healthy living and sustainability through hands-on activities that encouraged curiosity and creativity. Supported by OCBC volunteers, the programme also brought campers to high-tech venues in Zhangjiang and science workshops, exposing them to innovation and sustainable development, while building environmental awareness and future-ready skills.

Life in a Snapshot

Through the "Life in a Snapshot" programme, seniors living with dementia reflected on their life journeys through a series of meaningful photographs. The photographs serve as keepsakes which help reconnect them with cherished memories. OCBC volunteers delved into in-depth conversations with the seniors and continued to engage them over six months to hold a public showcase featuring artwork reflecting stories from their lives.

Mother's Day Chiffon Cake Baking

In conjunction with Mother's Day, OCBC volunteers welcomed seniors from Ilha Verde Elderly Centre for a chiffon cake baking activity. The session became more than baking as they whisked, mixed, and shared stories. It became a moment of love, appreciation, and companionship, reminding the seniors of their cherished place in our community.
