Our vision is for A Good Day to be an annual event that inspires more people to care about social issues and actually do something about it, while also fundraising to continue the operations of A Good Space. Tickets to A Good Day cost $39 last year, with all proceeds being used to sustain the A Good Space community. This year, we are collaborating with the national SkillsFuture Movement to champion doing good as a life skill for everyone.  As part of our collaboration, tickets this year will be complimentary. However, if you choose to register, we ask that you acknowledge the costs and effort our changemakers have put in by making 2 pledges: 1. Make a commitment to attendIf you register and are unable to attend, please pass on your ticket to someone. If not, please make a contribution of $39 (equivalent to the value of one ticket) to A Good Space. 2.

We are also hoping to raise funds for the continuation of A Good Space (AGS), a community of ordinary changemakers who care about different social issues and communities in Singapore and create projects to do good, together. As the funding for AGS comes to an end in July, we are seeking to raise some funds to sustain the community for an additional 4 months as we continue to be in talks with possible corporate or public funders. If you have enjoyed the activities of A Good Space and benefited from it in any way, we'd love to invite you to consider making a donation. You can donate at: https://www.giving.sg/nvpc/agoodspacesg About A Good Space ==This event is co-hosted by Lifelong Learning Institute, the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre (NVPC) and A Good Space, in support of the SkillsFuture Festival. A Good Space is a community of changemakers from all walks of life who create experiences that help the public learn about diverse social issues in Singapore from Poverty Smulations to a Feast with Seniors. Changemaking doesn't have to be a lonely journey. Our dream is to build a community where people wanting to do good can support each other to do more good, together. To learn more and join the community, visit our website at: agoodspace.orgIn the event of unforeseen circumstances, activities and the program can be subject to change at the discretion of A Good Space.
