Why March?

Community Chest, the organisation adopted by the Singaporean community in the UK for SG50 (28th) March for Charity, raises funds for the nation's many charities. Funds go into supporting children with special needs to reach their potential; adults with disabilities to integrate into society; families in need, and elderly to age graciously in the community.
