Supporting children & youth who have faced adverse life circumstances such as abuse or neglect

Established in 1902, we are amongst Singapore's oldest secular philanthropic organisations. Through our two services, Melrose Home and Melrose Care, we provide residential care and specialised therapy to support children and youth who have experienced challenging life circumstances such as abuse or neglect. Our services seek to mitigate the impact of these circumstances so that the children and youth have better outcomes in terms of mental health, educational attainment and can engage in healthy relationships with peers.

Some wishes can’t be wrapped. 🎁

When we asked the children and youth of Melrose Home what they wished for, they wrote about a home filled with laughter, love that stays, and a future they can look forward to.

One child wished for his grandparents to live long and happy lives.

We cannot grant every wish. But we can help children nurture relationships, find confidence and build towards the futures they imagine.

This holiday season, our Give Hope campaign supports the daily care, therapy and counselling, education and enrichment that make this possible. These are gifts children can carry with them long after the season ends.

Will you help give them something that lasts?

More opportunities to try something new. More people to turn to. More moments worth remembering.

These are some of the things we hope to make possible for the children and youth we support through Give Childhood.

With just a few days left in our campaign, there's still time to be part of it. Every donation helps us continue providing the care, guidance and opportunities they need as they grow.

Birthdays are about more than cake. They're about feeling celebrated, remembered and knowing that someone thought of you.

This Give Childhood, our bakery partner Pinch Bakehouse is helping us create more of these moments for Melrose Home.

For every S$1,000 donated in a single gift, Pinch Bakehouse will sponsor a birthday cake for a child at Melrose Home.

And your donation? It goes towards supporting the care and opportunities we provide for our children and youth.

Getting the keys to your own home is a milestone. But keeping a home going comes with responsibilities that aren't always easy to navigate.

For our young people leaving residential care, learning to manage rent, groceries and household bills while balancing school and work is part of becoming independent.

And while many young adults can turn to their families for advice or support when things get difficult, care leavers may not always have that option.

Through Thrive21+, we continue supporting young people as they navigate life beyond residential care. Whether it's working through everyday challenges or figuring out their next steps, having someone to turn to can make a difference.

Support our work through the Children's Aid Limited Charity Draw 2026. Tickets are available at participating Singapore Pools retail outlets until 8 November, with cash prizes to be won. Find out more: https://childrensaidlimited.sg/events/charity-draw-2026/

There is more to a young person than the circumstances that brought them into care.

For Anna, there’s also music, dance, friendships, new interests to explore, and plenty she is still discovering about herself.

The support we provide at Melrose Home is not only about helping children and youth through challenging experiences. It is also about giving them the stability and opportunities to keep growing.

You can support this work through the Children’s Aid Limited Charity Draw 2026. Tickets are available at participating Singapore Pools retail outlets from 5 October to 8 November 2026. Every ticket purchased supports our work with children and youth, while giving you a chance to win cash prizes. Find out more: https://childrensaidlimited.sg/events/charity-draw-2026/

Moving from larger dormitories to smaller living groups is one of the biggest changes we're making as we rebuild our Clementi Road premises into Melrose Village. It's about creating an environment where children and youth can feel more at home, receive the support they need and prepare for what comes next.

But bringing Melrose Village to life comes at a cost of S$30 million, and we still have a fundraising gap to close.

That's why LiangXun, our Centre Head of Melrose Care, is running the BYD Singapore Marathon this December, with a goal of raising S$20,000 towards the project.

What makes a place feel like home? For our children and youth at Melrose Home, having their own space and privacy isn't always possible.

As LiangXun, Centre Head of Melrose Care shares, the environment children grow up in matters just as much as the support they receive.

That's one of the reasons we're rebuilding our Clementi Road premises into Melrose Village, with smaller living groups and spaces that offer greater privacy, comfort and a stronger sense of belonging.

This December, LiangXun is running at the BYD Singapore Marathon to raise S$20,000 towards the rebuilding of Melrose Village.
