We strongly hope all the kind people in Singapore will not be affected.
Below is an important announcement from Boys' Town.
Dear Benefactors, Friends and Partners of Boys' Town
It has come to our attention recently that there have been cases of youths who claim to be volunteers or boys from Boys' Town who are selling ice-cream in the streets and door-to-door.
We would like to clarify that Boys' Town has not endorsed such fundraising activity and if you have had any encounters with them, please do take down their particulars and inform us either via email at info@boystown.org.sg or call the Community Partnerships department during office hours at 67691618 so that we can inform others and the respective authorities on such activities.
There is currently no fund-raising initiative through the sale of ice-cream by Boys' Town.
Charitable organisations that are licensed to solicit funds in public would be granted a Collector's Certificate of Authority from the National Council of Social Service, or a copy of the police permit. If you are approached by any individual or group claiming to be soliciting funds for a charitable purpose, you can seek verification of the fundraiser's identity and the authenticity of the fundraising project by requesting to examine these documents.
If you are unsure of any fund-raising activity, please do not hesitate to contact us through the above email and phone number or if it is after office hours, please contact this number at 96234731 to check out the validity of the fund-raising activity.
Please do continue to support Boys Town as we seek your support and assistance in our work and mission to serve the boys who have been placed in our care.
We thank you for your support thus far.
Yours gratefully,
Irene Loi
Executive Director
Boys' Town
