It will soon be easier for Singaporeans to volunteer or donate, with the launch of an app to matchmake aspiring do-gooders and social causes. Developed by SG Cares - the national movement to promote volunteerism, the app was announced on Saturday by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong who called on Singaporeans keen to contribute to step forward.

Beyond getting Singaporeans to help the needy, SG Cares is also among the programmes cited by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth to promote mixing across different societal boundaries. This is in the wake of a survey published last month that found that sharpest social divisions in Singapore may now be based on class, instead of race or religion.

The newly-launched app offers details of volunteering projects available - such as their contact information, how to volunteer and donation methods. There are 310 projects currently listed.
