Rooted in Community, Driven by Care

Phoenix Child Welfare was born out of necessity and compassion in the late 1970s, when the rapidly growing Phoenix community faced severe socio-economic challenges and a lack of infrastructure.

Recognising the urgent need for support services, dedicated community volunteers joined forces with the Verulam Child & Family Welfare Society to serve the vulnerable and disadvantaged.
