Investing in the Community

APSN Katong School & Barclays

Employees from Barclays volunteer as physical education facilitators (PE) buddies to students with special needs at APSN Katong School.

"This structured volunteering programme provided the opportunity for students to interact with the volunteers during Physical Education lessons. Together, they participated in endurance-building activities, relay and ball games, where students improve interpersonal skills, develop physical fitness and experience joy."
- Sam Lee, APSN Katong School, 3 Acting HOD (Student-Management, PE, CCA)
