Meet Perrine, a Partner Service Manager at MSF, whose role is, well… it depends on who's asking 🧐

But in all seriousness, no two days look the same for Perrine. From overseeing agencies that support vulnerable children and families, to fostering partnerships with Specialist Agencies and being involved in engagement sessions, it is work that sits right at the heart of what MSF does.

If you are someone who thrives on variety and genuinely cares about making a difference, consider joining MSF! Find out more at msf.gov.sg/join-us/jobs-careers 💙

Every Friday night, public rental tenants and transitional shelter residents bond over food, music and good conversation at the Night Cafe by Catholic Welfare Services - a key partner of MSF's Partners Engaging and Empowering Rough Sleepers (PEERS) Network.

What began as a gathering for rough sleepers to build relationships and access support services has grown into a safe space where many have taken meaningful steps toward stable housing.

Love should never come with fear or asserting control.

If your relationship leaves you feeling trapped or unsafe, know that you're not alone.

Join us as we chat with Ben, Founder of Fellowship of Men, about recognising the signs of abuse and where to turn for help.

If you or someone you know needs support, call the National Anti-Violence and Sexual Harassment Helpline (NAVH) at 1800-777-0000.

Some of the most meaningful family moments happen over a simple meal. I joined families and community partners at the launch of the Warm Meals @ North East, which will provide around 1,000 ComLink+ and Long-Term Assistance households with meal credits to get warm and nutritious meals near their homes.

Beyond nutrition, these meals create opportunities for families to spend time together, catch up on each other’s day, and strengthen the bonds that matter most.

I am grateful to our partners, OCBC and North East Community Development Council who have stepped forward to support families in such a practical and caring way. When the community comes together, we can give every family a stronger start and a brighter future.

Recognising the signs of abuse is the first step towards protecting someone from harm.

By learning what to look out for, we can all play a part in creating a safer community and show those experiencing abuse that they're not alone.

If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, contact the National Anti-Violence and Sexual Harassment Helpline (NAVH) for help and support.

From 1 May 2026, only Child Protection Case Management (CPCM) agencies can manage child protection cases. This helps ensure children and families receive timely, specialised support.

To further support this, the Triage Assessment Panel (TAP) helps resolve complex cases when assessments between agencies differ, allowing families to get the right support.

Watch to learn what this means and how it strengthens Singapore's child protection system.

Starting and raising a family is one of the most important decisions you can make. The measures announced at the National Day Rally reflect our commitment to support Singaporean families through the different stages of life.

The enhanced marriage and parenthood measures will give parents more time, assurance and support. This includes increased childcare leave, more financial support through the new SG Child Support Package, and better access to affordable, quality preschools.

These enhancements were shaped by feedback we have received from Singaporeans. We will continue working with families, employers and partners to build a Singapore made for families.

A job title may tell you what someone does, but not always the heart they bring to it.

So, as we celebrate this year’s National Day theme of “going beyond”, we’re also celebrating some of the people behind MSF who go beyond their role – whether for a family, young children, or Singapore’s future. Every time we go a little further for one another, it’s a reminder that better starts with us.

Happy National Day, Singapore! 🇸🇬

Li-Choo and James don't just lead teams at Great Eastern Singapore; they lead by example.

In their lunchtime chat, they shared about their mission to build a workplace where family comes first. From championing family-friendly policies to organising events that bring parents and children together, they believe a successful career and a thriving family life aren't a tradeoff. They're both possible.

Everyone plays a part in building strong families, from corporates to individuals. Together, we can make Singapore a great place for families. Learn more at go.gov.sg/BetterStartsWithUs.

Big goals can feel overwhelming. But what if the secret was… starting with smaller steps? 💡

ComLink+ family coaches like Izzati work with families to turn big, daunting goals into clear, manageable actions. And if things don't go according to plan, there's always plan B 😉

Want to be that person who helps families take the first step too? Find out more about becoming a MSF ComLink+ family coach at ➡️ go.gov.sg/familycoach
