Hearty Care Centre
Hearty Care Centre (HCC), a division of Singapore Buddhist Welfare Services, is an educational cum family service centre set up in 1994 to serve the local community in Geylang Bahru and its vicinity.
After 20 years of service, HCC was relocated to our current premises in Fu Hui Link community hub located at 19, Compassvale Walk in 2015, to serve the needs of the local community in Sengkang.

Our Special Community Projects
It has always been HCC priority to outreach and collaborate with community partners, such as the National Library Board (NLB), Health Promotion Board (HPB), North East Community Development Council (NECDC), Singapore Police Force (SPF), Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), Singapore Kindness Movement (SKM) etc , so that our students can partake and be actively involved in community projects.
As the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child . Students in HCC, who are from different socio-economic background, are able to benefit from the enriching opportunities that arose due to resources pooled from the community.
HCC embraces the idea of giving back to the society. We encourage students to participate in charity based projects. This is to cultivate the values of compassion and generosity in our students.
Through our intergeneration activities, HCC students learnt how to take care and show concern for the Seniors. HCC students also learn to engage the Seniors in game activities, guide them to complete simple artwork, do fun exercises, or make handicrafts together
