Over S$30 million in SG Culture Pass credits used; new portal to help seniors access cultural outings
Youths accounted for the largest share of SG Culture Pass credit usage, at 43 per cent.
In the first year of the SG Culture Pass scheme, around 411,000 Singaporeans have used more than S$30.4 million in credits, with youths accounting for 43 per cent of the usage. The Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) has been working with Active Ageing Centres, community clubs, and nursing homes to organise cultural outings for seniors, many of whom had not attended local arts and culture events in the previous five years.
A new Group-Assist Portal will be introduced from mid-October, enabling more community partners to organise group outings and simplify the redemption of SG Culture Pass credits, helping seniors overcome barriers such as digital literacy and mobility challenges.
