Support Our Work

Every gift keeps the change going.

Not everyone has a Saturday to spare — but every gift helps us put more volunteers where they are needed, and keeps our programmes within reach of the charities that can least afford them. The Volunteer Switchboard is a social enterprise, so here are a few transparent ways to give.

Give what you can, whenever you can — every gift goes straight to where the need is greatest.

Please note: Gifts support our programmes and operations. The Volunteer Switchboard is a social enterprise and does not hold Institution of a Public Character (IPC) status, so gifts are not tax-deductible and no tax-deductible receipts are issued. Every gift goes directly to the purpose you choose, and we will acknowledge it in writing.

Code of Conduct

Everyone who volunteers, gives or partners through The Volunteer Switchboard agrees to act with dignity, respect and care toward the people and communities we serve.

Respect & dignity

We treat every beneficiary, volunteer and partner as an equal. No harassment, discrimination or behaviour that demeans anyone on any grounds.

Safety first

Follow site briefings and safeguarding guidance. Report any concern about a vulnerable person to the VSB team promptly and confidentially.

Privacy & consent

Do not photograph, record or share the details of any beneficiary without their consent. Keep personal information you encounter strictly confidential.

Show up as you committed

Communities plan around you. Honour your sign-ups, arrive on time, and let us know early if plans change.

Privacy Policy

This policy explains how The Volunteer Switchboard collects, uses and protects your personal data under Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).

Contact details and information you give us when you sign up to volunteer, support or partner — such as your name, email, phone number and the causes you care about.

How we use it

To match you to opportunities, coordinate programmes, issue tax-deductible receipts, and keep you updated. We never sell your data.

Who we share it with

Only the charity or partner running an activity you join, and only what they need to host you safely — under confidentiality obligations.

Your rights

You may ask to access, correct or delete your data, or withdraw consent, at any time by writing to our Data Protection Officer.
