Ibis Styles Singapore on MacPherson will be hosting its first charity event together with the Friends of The Disabled Society (FDS) charity as part of the year-end festive campaign. 

Various handicrafts and accessories will be available for sale to members of the public on 17 November, 2016 at the hotel lounge area and poolside. All proceeds will be donated to the FDS. The hotel will also be hosting a dinner for the FDS on 3 December, 2016 as part of the festive celebrations. 

The events are part of the hotel’s drive for corporate social responsibility to create awareness in helping the less fortunate. GM Mrs Shamila Rolfe said, “It’s great to give back to society during this time of the year and we are very pleased work with FDS to do our part in helping the less fortunate. The campaign is our first CSR project of the year since the hotel opened and we look forward to creating more memorable activities like this annually.”

“A component of our Skills and Entrepreneurship Program is Art and Craft Development and Marketing Skills (ACDMS). This programme not only taps on the creativity of our members, but also allows them to earn an income through the displayed items for sale. Members can also undergo training to become arts & crafts instructors which gives them an opportunity earn a living. This programme helps them to lead meaningful lives and allows them to participate and contribute to the community,” said S. Roogmanny, Executive Director of FDS.
