As the vouchers redemption deadline is tomorrow on 31Dec2021 (tickets booked can be for any date before 31Mar2022), I hope to bring attention to this fact and the option of donating vouchers to good causes, so people can do so before the last day! If you have no intention to spend the vouchers yourself, or know someone who can and may want to donate, please go to the website above or direct them there so they may look at the beneficiaries (local charity etc) and options
Even if you have just $10 voucher left after spending, you can actually donate that $10 as there are options to do so, I just donated my $10 balance to Klook's program yesterday. Hope that this post may help to remind those who were intending to donate but forgot, or were wondering what to do with their remaining $10 vouchers :) Thank you for donating and for spreading the word!
Edit: a redditor kindly shared this link, and I think it is clearer in explanation and sharing details about different donations and whether they're still ongoing: https://trevallog.com/donate-singaporediscover-voucher-srv/
Hi all! With the flurry of activity using or donating our SRV over, I was checking the It's Raining Raincoats FB when I noticed that they have a call for ART kits donation. So I'm just putting this out here for information in case anyone has spare kits!
They are asking for 2000 kits so that they can get the migrant workers to take the ART test before going on the Flyer. So if you have spare ART, check out their collection options!
They have a 24 hr collection point at Serangoon Ave 4, the details are on It's Raining Raincoats FB.

Context in Tuesday post. The topics were similar to what was discussed during Sochi meetings on November 26.
