Continuously Building The Community - How Can You Help?

Alkansiya 

This is a "piggy bank" version in the Philippines that is made out of coconut shell with a hole that will only fit a coin. The concept is to fill it with coins and the Trustees will announce an event to break this "alkansiya". Whatever the total amount of the coins will be donated to the Filipino Community Centre project.

Adopt-a-brick

A number of bricks are offered for adoption, reserved and paid in advance by interested individuals, organizations, businesses, offices and politicians. These bricks are then set aside in a “warehouse bank" that will eventually be used to build the centre.

Fundraising Events

Please do support our events by buying tickets and attending the events. If you have a business, you can either sponsor the event or hire a stall or two.
