CGS SG inks deal to boost financial literacy amongst PWIDs, caregivers

A pilot trial has already begun with 15 MINDS participants.

CGS International Securities Singapore (CGS SG) has partnered with MINDSG Ltd to enhance financial literacy initiatives for persons with intellectual disabilities, caregivers, and MINDS staff.

Under the initiative, CGS SG will provide classes for MINDS clients, focusing on skills such as currency recognition, basic transactions, and arithmetic for calculating change through supermarket simulations.

A pilot trial has already begun with 15 MINDS participants.

The partnership is set to expand into other areas, including support for MINDS’ craft training programmes and social enterprise initiatives. CGS SG will also provide volunteer assistance and raise awareness of MINDS’ activities to strengthen the collaboration.

Beyond this initiative, CGS SG aims to broaden its financial literacy outreach to more groups. These efforts include engaging students through the flagship ASEAN Investment Challenge, conducting anti-scam workshops for seniors in partnership with the National Crime Prevention Council, and supporting individuals living with dementia and their caregivers through partnerships with TOUCH Community Services and ALLKIN Singapore.

financial literacy

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
