i-SHINE: A Singapore Pool's staff community programme
From its inception, Singapore Pools has played a significant role in enriching community life by channeling surplus income to innumerable charity, community and sports causes. In the same spirit of giving, Singapore Pools employees started giving back to the community in kind, by donating staff time to children and elderly homes under our i-SHINE staff volunteerism programme since 2003.
 
Talk of goodness is no good. Only to do so is.
– Mr. Tan Soo Nan, CEO of Singapore Pools


iShine, which stands for I-Shine in Serving from the Heart and In Nurturing Everyone, is about the value and joy of helping in the community. It is about individual Singapore Pools staff reaching out, lending a helping hand to and doing that extra bit for members less fortunate in the community. It is about our emotional connection to good causes and doing good work in the community, and making Singapore Pools a great place to work because we, as a company, care. In short, iShine is about creating a “Family of Hearts” - living the community-engagement culture and spirit of philanthropy.
To date, there are six i-SHINE teams and they each chose their own cause and beneficiary.
