Give the Gift of Dignity

As part of Singapore’s SG60 celebrations, the Society for Continence (Singapore) [SFCS] is launching a heartfelt donation drive to provide Continence Care Packs to 100 financially needy seniors living with incontinence.

Incontinence is a deeply personal and often overlooked challenge among the elderly. Beyond physical discomfort, it can lead to emotional distress, social withdrawal, and a profound loss of dignity. Unfortunately, many low-income seniors are unable to afford the essential products needed to manage this condition with confidence and comfort.

Through this campaign, SFCS hopes to bring practical relief and restore dignity where it’s needed most. Each Continence Care Pack will include high-quality incontinence products carefully selected to meet daily needs.

This initiative serves two key purposes:

To uplift the quality of life for vulnerable seniors by supporting their hygiene and well-being;
To raise awareness of SFCS’s mission and inspire the community to support our work through donations and membership.

Your support does more than fund a care pack — it sends a powerful message to our seniors that they are seen, respected, and not alone.

Help us reach our goal by November 2025. Every dollar brings us closer to ensuring that no senior has to suffer in silence.

Together, let’s celebrate SG60 by delivering compassion, comfort, and dignity to those who once cared for us.

Thank you for your generosity.

SFCS will continue to conduct seminars and workshops for the public and the medical profession to improve continence care within the local community.

We welcome all donations to help further this important work.

This is our first editorial post for 2022 and I want to start off by talking about a problem that incontinence caregivers at home or maybe, even incontinence patients themselves, may sometimes neglect – skincare. A person with incontinence is not able to prevent urine and stool from leaking, and is at risk for skin problems around the buttocks and genital areas. Urine and stool can damage the skin at these areas, causing redness, irritation and soreness. This can be distressing, uncomfortable and isolating. While ...

SCFS’s first editorial!

Dear friends of SFCS, Welcome to SCFS’s first editorial! This will be the first in a regular (monthly) series of editorials where we talk about issues central to the theme of “Restoring Dignity to Incontinence Sufferers”. In Singapore, 10-40% of the population is estimated to suffer from some form of urinary incontinence, while about 4.7% suffers from faecal incontinence. These are not uncommon conditions. Yet, incontinence remains a taboo subject for many members of the general public and incontinence patients. The condition remains highly misunderstood, and many sufferers are reluctant to come out to speak about their experiences dealing with ...
