MWS Establishes Family Services Hub to Support Families More Seamlessly
On 19 August 2025, Methodist Welfare Services (MWS) officially opened two of its newly relocated offices – Families for Life@Community – MWS (MWS FFLC) and MWS Strengthening Families Programme@Family Service Centre (FAM@FSC)* – at Hougang Avenue 8.
Together with MWS Covenant Family Service Centre (MWS CFSC) on the same street, the three services form the MWS Family Services Hub that aims to offer more seamless, integrated support to residents across the Hougang, Sengkang, and Serangoon region.
The three services collectively span a continuum of care – from early prevention to intensive intervention.
“We are very excited to establish our Family Services Hub, to serve families even more seamlessly through a wide range of situations — all in close proximity,” said Calvin Ngo, MWS’ Chief Executive Officer. He added that this means there is no wrong door, and families will get the support they require once they reach out.
Guest-of-honour Mr Darryl David, Member of Parliament of Ang Mo Kio GRC, who officiated the event, added that the greater integration of the services will “serve our people, right where the needs are” and “cater to the diversity of our clients”. He also thanked MWS for being an integral part of the community’s past, present, and future.
The opening event also included guests from the Ministry of Social and Family Development as well as the other social service agencies in the region.
Mr Goh Pei Ming, Minister of State for Social and Family Development (MSF), sent his congratulations, acknowledging the vital role that the MWS Family Services Hub will play in providing “accessible, coordinated, and responsive” help and affirmed the Ministry’s commitment to nurturing strong and resilient families.
* MWS Strengthening Families Programme@Family Service Centre (FAM@FSC) was renamed Strengthening Families Programme (Methodist Welfare Services) (FAM (MWS)) on 1 November 2025.
