Dear Sir

ICAP’s 16th GLOBAL ANNUAL CHARITY DAY

We are pleased to announce that ICAP Charity Day will take place on Wednesday, 10 December 2008.

On this special day, ICAP offices worldwide will raise funds for charity, giving both the company and our customers a unique opportunity to contribute to society. Thanks to your generosity, last year’s Charity Day saw a record £9.2 million raised for our chosen charities globally.

This year, ICAP AP (Singapore) has chosen the following organisations as our adopted beneficiaries:

(i) Alzheimer’s Disease Association (ADA)

ADA was formed in 1990 as a result of growing concern for the needs of people with dementia and their families. ADA is a voluntary welfare organization and is made up of caregivers, professionals and all who are interested in dementia. Its mission is to provide quality care for people with dementia and caregivers, promote research and programmes for dementia prevention.

Currently, ADA manages and supports 3 Dementia Day Care Centres for the elderly with dementia; a Caregiver Support Service which runs a Dementia Helpline, Information and Referral, Counselling, Caregiver Support Groups and Training; conducts Research and organizes Public Education programmes such as talks and workshops and participation in community exhibitions.

ICAP’s donation could help to start and operate a 4th Dementia Day Care Centre as its current 3 centres are at their full capacity.

(ii) Association of Women for Action & Research (AWARE)

AWARE is Singapore’s leading advocacy group dedicated to promoting gender equality. Since its inception in 1985, AWARE has brought women’s perspectives to national issues and has focused on Research & Advocacy, Public Education, and Direct Services. Its mission is to identify areas for improvement in gender equality, encourage positive change, and support women in realizing their highest potential. AWARE offers direct services to Singaporean women in need, which include the Helpline, befrienders programme, legal clinic and counselling services.

Funding from ICAP will help AWARE to reach out to more women in need.

The DSA is a member of the NCSS and was granted IPC status in 1996. The DSA is a self-funding non-profit organisation.

(iii) Singapore Cancer Society (SCS)

Established in 1964, SCS is a self-funding voluntary welfare organization on a mission to prevent and control cancer, and enhance health and quality of life in the community through education and patient care services. Today, SCS services have extended to include looking after the special needs of cancer patients, providing continual support for cancer survivors, rehabilitation care for patients receiving treatment and home medical care for terminally ill cancer patients.

Funds raised will go towards SCS Cancer Treatment Fund that provides financial assistance to needy cancer patients to meet their treatment expenses. The Fund has brought hope where there is despair, relief where there is anxiety and a semblance of normalcy where there is trauma in the lives of the cancer patients and their families.
