In the shadows of despair, a solemn epidemic silently claims precious lives – suicide. A heart-wrenching journey that transcends borders and demographics, its grip tightens on individuals battling inner storms. Yet, amidst the darkness, a glimmer of hope emerges – prevention. With compassion and understanding, we embark on a collective quest to shine a beacon of support, extending our hearts and hands to save lives. Together, we stand united against this silent enemy, striving to dismantle stigmas and foster a world where every soul finds solace, reminding them that they are never alone. This is the urgent narrative of suicide and the profound importance of prevention.

Spark the Change Fest 2023
In conjunction with World Suicide Prevention Day, SOS will be hosting Spark the Change Fest on Saturday, 2 September 2023, at OCBC Square @ Singapore Sports Hub.

In its second edition now, the fest will kick off with a physical 3km #HowRU charity walk in the morning, where participants can walk to show solidarity and support of individuals facing a crisis, thinking about or affected by suicide. Apart from a range of fringe activities and exhibitions throughout the day, event-goers can also learn more about SOS and how each of us have a part to play in Singapore’s suicide prevention and intervention efforts.

This year, our fundraising goal is $300,000 and your support in helping us achieve this will make an impact in suicide prevention, together. All eligible donations to SOS will also be entitled to 2.5 times tax deduction of the donated amount.

Join the Spark the Change Fest, where compassion sparks the flame of hope. Be a lifeline for those in need.
