High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Singapore Children's Society is a charitable organisation which looks after the welfare of children. It is committed to protect the physical, emotional and mental well-being of disadvantaged children. The SCS was founded on 17 April 1952 by a group of civic-minded citizens. The group started with a convalescent home for malnourished children in Changi that was subsequently gazetted as a Place of Safety in 1988. It was also the pioneer voluntary welfare organisation to provide opportunities for training of social work undergraduates from the then University of Malaya.
