Together, we hope to strengthen resilience within the community and rally more businesses and individuals to create more opportunities to support those in need.” Saurabh Prakash, Interim Chief Operating Officer & Chief Commercial Officer, Millennium Hotels and Resorts said, "As we celebrate our 30 years of legacy, we want to reaffirm our corporate social responsibility at the core of our operations. The hotel industry offers many opportunities and pathways. With the right training, right job placement and the right support system in place, our special needs employees have found their sense of belonging and adapting well to the fast-paced environment and high volume of guest interactions. We value them just as much as our other employees and they have contributed to our company’s success. With our ongoing partnership through ComChest and new initiative with The Salvation Army’s Gracehaven Children’s Home, we hope to continue creating lasting impact in the communities we serve."

On top of a longer-term approach to uplifting lives, their generous contribution also qualifies for the SG Gives matching grant, which multiplies the impact of their donations. We are encouraged by more companies contributing to sustain social service efforts. This strong community spirit is important as we build a shared future together this SG60 and beyond." MHR’s other initiatives to drive long-term and sustainable social impact From 2025 to 2027, MHR will be supporting over 200 meaningful programmes through a series of initiatives to enhance accessibility and opportunities in key areas such as disability inclusion, youth empowerment, family resilience, mental health advocacy, and elderly care.

Expanding its social community efforts, MHR is also sponsoring a monthly meal programme from April to December 2025 in collaboration with The Salvation Army’s Gracehaven Children’s Home.
