North East Community Development Council

Community center located in Our Tampines Hub

The North East Community Development Council (NECDC) serves as a vital community cornerstone at Our Tampines Hub, dedicated to creating a caring and inclusive environment for over 1.1 million residents across the North East District. Established in 1997, this government agency operates with a clear mission to address evolving community needs through tailored programmes and initiatives.

Located on Level 3 of Our Tampines Hub, the NECDC office provides essential support services that directly impact families and individuals in the Tampines area. Their comprehensive assistance includes financial aid for students facing transportation burdens, family support packages featuring milk formula and diapers for those in need, and the distribution of CDC vouchers worth $500 per household to help with daily expenses.

The council takes a proactive approach to tackling complex social challenges, from rising living costs to employment difficulties and the needs of an aging population. Through strategic partnerships with other agencies within Our Tampines Hub, including the National Library Board, Ministry of Health, and Workforce Singapore, NECDC creates a seamless network of community support.

What sets NECDC apart is their commitment to fostering social cohesion and building a strong community compact. Their employment assistance programmes and financial support initiatives are designed not just to provide immediate relief, but to empower residents with sustainable solutions for long-term stability and growth.
