Group Volunteers
Organisations and their staff have skills and expertise that are needed to help those in need and make meaningful impact in the community. Volunteers bring joy to patients through meaningful engagements. This also helps our nurses and other healthcare professionals spend more time on medical care.
In 2024, we are looking to fundraise $10 million in order to sustain our operating expenses across Homecare, Inpatient and Daycare services.
New to group volunteering and not sure how to start? Not to worry! Our experienced volunteer coordinators have helped over 30 organisations match their objectives with the needs on the ground. We can provide the necessary consultancy for your group and work out a meaningful volunteering experience for your participants. Embark on a regular volunteering journey with us for greater impact!
Hawker Delight

Patient Outings
Hearing the birds sing, shopping at IKEA, prawning with friends…these outings bring simple joy to our patients. For some patients with advance lung disorders and who require oxygen therapy, going on such outings can be very challenging.
Sponsor an outing for Day Care patients, where trained Assisi staff will be on hand to handle the medical equipment and monitor the patients’ condition, making such outings possible for them.
