· SP volunteers host 600 seniors, youths, children on electric bus excursions
· SP to match staff donations by three-fold and sustains 10,000 Power Packs distribution
· SP’s total donation to be further matched by SG Gives grant for SG60

SINGAPORE, 4 JUNE 2025 — SP Group (SP) today held its inaugural Community Festival, rallying its 3,800 employees in new community service initiatives, as the national grid and energy solutions operator marks SG60 and the 30^th anniversary of SP’s corporatisation (SP30).

At the event, SP launched SG60 Journeys from the Heart excursions aboard an electric bus for 600 beneficiaries, increased its matching of staff donations to its SP Heartware Fund, and flagged off its signature volunteer initiative, SP Power Packs, where staff will deliver 10,000 care packs to lower-income households.

Group CEO of SP Group Mr Stanley Huang, said, “SP Group’s services impact every household and business. As we celebrate our progress as a company and as a nation, we are also focused on uplifting individuals and families in need, from different age segments in the community. Our employees have been a strong driving force of our corporate growth and social service outreach. Through these initiatives, we aim to strengthen our culture of giving and our efforts in sustainable programmes.”

Bringing joyful and sustainable experiences on electric bus excursions

SG60 Journeys from the Heart are excursions to Singapore landmarks, with customised itineraries for 600 seniors, youths and children and their families. Aligned with SP’s focus on sustainability, they will travel on an electric bus to places of interest such as the iconic Singapore Flyer, Merlion Park and Sentosa island. They will be hosted by staff volunteers, known as SP Heart Workers, in interactive experiences to suit the interests of each age group. These excursions will run from the June school holidays to the National Day month of August.

Ms Jocelyn Toh, Head of Senior Service at Allkin Singapore, which saw 40 of its elderly beneficiaries join the launch excursion, added: “Excursions like these allow the individuals and families we serve, many whom are from lower-income backgrounds, to explore Singapore with renewed wonder, meet new friends, and create shared memories they might not otherwise get the chance to experience. It’s a unique way to celebrate SG60 and SP’s anniversary, and a welcome extension of the SP Heart Workers’ activities with us.”

Nuhsyafiq Bin Razak Effendi, Senior Engineer of Electricity Operations, who has been part of the team organising SP’s volunteer activities, shared, “Volunteerism is very much part of our company’s DNA. More colleagues are coming forward to give their time and energy in carrying out our diverse range of activities, which also helps in team bonding. Having participated in several excursions with seniors and kids, I’ve seen how simple gestures can make a big difference and create a lasting impact.”

Enhanced donation-matching through SP Heartware Fund and SGSHARE

To commemorate SP30, the company also announced an enhanced donation-matching initiative through its SP Heartware Fund, in support of programmes funded by Community Chest. From now until 31 December 2025, staff donations will be matched threefold by SP, up to a total of S$1 million. This initiative aims to encourage employees to contribute to community causes, amplifying the impact of their generosity and fostering a culture of giving within the organisation.

This year, as part of the SG60 campaign SGSHARE, all donations to the SP Heartware Fund will also be matched dollar-for-dollar under the SG Gives matching grant. This means that for every dollar that an SP staff donates, eight dollars will go towards helping service users of social and community programmes in Singapore.

Established in 2005, the SP Heartware Fund has since raised over S$30 million to date, supporting critical social service programmes, enabling seniors to age with dignity and empowering children and youth to realise their potential by enhancing their social mobility. SP underwrites all fund-raising and operational costs of the Fund and programmes, so that all donations will go fully to the social service agencies the Fund supports.

Celebrating corporate volunteerism and community spirit

The festival at SP’s head office also saw the flag-off of SP Power Packs – the company’s largest annual volunteer initiative – where employees will deliver care packs worth S$300,000 of essential items to 10,000 lower-income households throughout the year.

At the festival, SP staff also spoke about their volunteer experiences to inspire more colleagues to participate in SP’s outreach activities. SP staff enjoyed a carnival-like atmosphere, learning about SP’s community efforts at activity booths of social service partners Allkin Singapore, Care Corner Singapore, Dyslexia Association of Singapore, KidSTART Singapore, St. Andrew’s Autism Centre, TOUCH Community Services, and Youth Guidance Outreach Services.

SP is honoured to be recognised for its commitment to sustained giving over the years. The company received the Pinnacle Award, the highest accolade at the Community Chest Awards, for two consecutive years in 2023 and 2024. Additionally, SP has received Community Chest’s Charity Platinum Award, Volunteer Partner Award and the Enabler Award, and was conferred as a Champion of Good by the National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre.
