Stewardship Report FY 2017 - 18
Message from the
Executive Director
W
We have also established an internal
referral system so that frontline staff
can refer beneficiaries to a team
of professional social workers and
counsellors.
e want to have an inclusive
society, and it matters much to
us that those in dire need should find
the needed help and not be left out. In
every society, there will be people who
have been disadvantaged by life issues
and require some forms of intervention
and support.
In our drive to focus on upstream work,
we recognize the importance of a more
inclusive society to look out for one
another. For collective impact, we need
to foster a growing culture of mutual
support to forge a thoughtful and caring
society.
Promptness to detect early distress
and provision of help in swiftness and
effectiveness are what we can strive for
as a social service organization.
As a charitable organization, there is a
limit to how many we can help. However,
with your support, more can be done
with added resources.
To
be
intentional,
the
Presbyterian Community Services
has positioned its services at the
upstream to focus on “Prevention
and
Education,”
and
“Early
Detection and Intervention”.
Your continual encouragement and part-
nership with us is deeply appreciated.
With the many helping hands working
together for good social causes, we all
can be challenged to serve with alacrity,
to deliver help in a more timely manner.
As “Prevention and Education” has
always been our mainstream of work,
greater effort has been put in to
heighten the work of “Early Detection
and Intervention”. Staff and volunteers
working with the vulnerable population
are being trained to spot early signs of
distress so that timely intervention can
be provided.
