Steptember - Stepping up together with St Pats!

This September, we’re lacing up our shoes and stepping out for a cause close to our hearts. St Pats is taking on Steptember to raise vital funds for AFC Crisis Shelter, which provides temporary refuge for women and children who have experienced family violence.

Members of our community have been volunteering with the shelter for many years, witnessing firsthand both the incredible work they do and the urgent need for more support. With your help, we can make a real difference.

👉 Our goal is to walk 10,000 km and raise $10,000 over the month of September.

What will the money raised go to? "A Feeding Community" programme is an ongoing initiative which partners hawkers in the shelter's vicinity. Residents are given vouchers on a monthly basis and they can purchase meals from these partner-hawkers to reduce their costs of living and meet their basic practical needs.   The rest will go towards family outings for all the residents. As part of their healing from their trauma, AFC aims to create positive memories & connection during their stay at the shelter. One way of doing so is to organise outings to various places of interest in Singapore to enhance mother-child bonding as well as to build a closer-knit community. These outings are organised as many of them would otherwise not be able to afford them.

Every step and every dollar counts. The Irish are known worldwide for their generosity and community spirit. Let’s show it once again — step by step, side by side.
