About The Social Space

The Social Space creates multi-concept spaces to inspire social-impact champions in all that we do so as to create an economy for good. Our spaces feature a Café, a fair trade retail area, and a nail salon, all promoting greater awareness for sustainability, an appreciation for providence, and more accessible conscious living.  The Social Space is also a platform of opportunities for differently-abled people to acquire skills and dignified employment and put their talents and skills to a good cause. We aim to empower such individuals who face a higher barrier to employment opportunities due to circumstances beyond their control to gain self-sufficiency in the long term. The Social Space aspires to bring about serendipity through our creative spaces and platforms, and hopes to encourage our community to be more socially conscious in their daily lives.

Circular economy and waste management

We minimise waste by sourcing sustainably, using upcycled materials, and retailing circular products. Our cafés cut food waste via mindful prep, composting, and discounted surplus sales. We prioritise bulk buying, reusable ware, and local suppliers to reduce packaging and carbon footprint. Workshops educate customers on low-waste living, creating a community that values circularity.
