Corporate Volunteerism in Singapore In a landmark initiative, Cushman & Wakefield was proud to have been one of 14 entities selected for Project V , a national pilot shaping the future of corporate volunteerism in Singapore. Project V is led jointly by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth; the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre; and the National Council for Social Service. The project aims to transform how companies engage in community service. In addition to volunteerism, the initiative is about building a cohesive society through active corporate participation through regular volunteering and at scale. Our C&W Services Singapore Workplace Experience Team brought together more than 160 employees to be at the heart of two impactful volunteer programs: Bridging the Digital Gap: In collaboration with a local organization, our people stepped up as digital ambassadors to equip the elderly with digital skills. Bi-weekly sessions at our office have empowered the elderly to navigate health apps and secure medical appointments independently.
