About LeapForGood


LeapForGood is a programme designed to help passionate change-makers take thoughtful and innovative ideas, and turn them into real and sustainable business solutions. Every year, we invite aspiring social entrepreneurs and existing social enterprises to join us in addressing emerging social needs in Singapore. This year, our focus is on the Work, Life & Play of Seniors and Caregivers returning to work. We want you to join the movement and be part of the social change in Singapore!
