Metta Welfare Association

Metta Welfare Association is a Singapore-based social service organisation established to deliver comprehensive care and support for individuals and families across the lifespan. With more than three decades of service and over 1,600 beneficiaries, Metta operates an array of welfare programmes including hospice care, homecare, disability homes and day activity centres, preschool services, special education (Metta School and Maitri School), youth employment support, arts and social enterprise initiatives, and rehabilitation services for the elderly. The association collaborates closely with donors, community partners, volunteers and vendors to provide person-centred services that transcend racial and religious barriers. Metta also runs social enterprises such as Metta Café and Arts@Metta to empower beneficiaries with employability and artisan skills while generating sustainable support for its programmes. The organisation emphasizes volunteer engagement, fundraising and donation channels (including PayNow and monthly giving) and maintains transparency through governance, annual reports and financial statements. Metta’s mission centers on compassionate care, skill development and community integration for vulnerable populations in Singapore.
