• Boys' Town Home

Boys' Town Home is a unique Catholic Institution dedicated to providing guidance, shelter, education, vocational training and practical living skills to youths. Boys' Town comprises of four arms: Assumption English School (AES), Assumption Vocational Institute (AVI), Boys' Town Home (a boarding home) and Boys' Town Alumni.

In the past, the aim of the institution was to provide vocational skills training and education to orphans. Today, Boys' Town Home has expanded its scope of services beyond the original aim of its pioneers to include youths of disadvantage as well as those who encounter greater difficulties and challenges growing up.

As a non-profit organization, Boys' Town Home forms a part of the National Council of Social Service. However, Boys' Town Home is not funded by the Community Chest. Boys' Town Home raises the majority of its funds through projects such as Flag Day, Walkathon, and Carnival & Festive Seasons Appeal.

• Catholic Welfare Services

CWS is founded on the Spirit of the Good Shepherd - leading people to love and fulfillment and the Spirit of the Good Samaritan - helping those who have fallen along the way.

The works of CWS began in 1959 with a simple food relief programme to provide food for the poor. Today, CWS has grown to be the Action Arm of the Catholic Church of Singapore, initiating, assisting, coordinating and carrying out social services to alleviate poverty and distress among the people of Singapore, regardless of race or creed.

CWS was instrumental in the setting up and funding of projects such as the Good Shepherd Centre, the Marine Parade Family Service Centre, and the Catholic Aids Response Effort. CWS also provided funding to other Catholic social service agencies such as the Family Life Society, the Roman Catholic Prison Ministry and the Morning Star Community Services.
