Infocredit Cares a special csr edition

Issue 01, September 2014

Dear Valued Clients & Partners,

A very warm hello from Infocredit Holdings Pte Ltd!

On 5 September 2014, Infocredit Holdings Pte Ltd (IHPL) embarked on its #rst-ever

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative as part of its commitment to

philanthropy, volunteerism and charity at the Kembangan-Chai Chee Seniors Activity

Centre (SAC). 250 elderly residents living in the Kembangan-Chai Chee district were

being served up an evening of delightful Mid-Autumn Festival treats by more than 80 sta$ volunteers from the

Infocredit family.

For the 250 elderly residents, it was a memorable evening of sumptuous food, golden oldies and a myriad

games under the pavilion near Block 22 of the Kembangan-Chai Chee SAC. However, truth be told that many of

these elderly residents were staying alone in one and two-room HDB rental %ats with little or no social and famil-

ial support. By befriending these elderly residents, IHPL hopes to help them overcome loneliness, social isola-

tion and forge new friendships in their community and beyond.

We were also especially honored by the presence of Mr. Tan Chuan-Jin, Minister for Manpower, Adviser to

Marine Parade GRC Grassroots Organisations and Member of Parliament for Marine Parade GRC (Kembangan-

Chai Chee) who graced the event to meet-and-greet as well as distribute red packets to the 250 needy elderly

residents living in the district.

This Mid-Autumn Festival CSR celebration also saw the kind sponsorship and contributions of body wipes from

Freshening Industries, which were packed into a specially woven Infocredit Cares goodie bag which were

distributed to the 250 elderly residents. The body wipes were particularly useful for the bed-ridden or immobile

elderly residents who had di'culties using a shower to clean themselves. The specially woven Infocredit Cares

goodie bag contained practical items such as the toothbrush and toothpaste, bar soap and shampoo to help

the elderly in their personal hygiene.

To mark the launch of Infocredit Cares, we are delighted to share some of the memorable moments captured

on camera with all valued clients and partners. Hopefully, we can help spread this humble message of the joys

of giving and engaging in CSR and volunteerism with one and all.

We look forward to sharing more about our upcoming CSR initiatives with you soon!

Warmest regards,

Eugene Z.

On behalf of the Infocredit Cares Organizing Committee

“We believe that CSR is more than a charitable

act. For this outreach, we adopted a “Many Help-

ing Hands” approach to encourage those within

the community to assist their peers who are not

as able. As such, we enlisted the help of Uncle

Sam, an elderly resident from the community to

co-host the event.”
