The work of the Resilience and Engagement Division (RED) centres on strengthening social solidarity and commitment to Singapore. We do this through three pillars of work: fostering a strong and inclusive sense of national identity; helping newcomers integrate into Singapore and appreciate what it means to be part of Singapore; and promoting a culture of volunteerism and philanthropy.
