As a nursery, and through its children and employees, and its parent community body, JINS has been making an impact through various volunteer and charitable organisations.
JINS Fundraising Events
JINS children, parents and staff, regularly hold events at the nursery to raise funds towards various charitable initiatives. The funds raised are then matched in equal proportion by the nursery and donated to particular organisations and causes.
Since 2008, JINS is conducting book fairs and cake sale events with the help of children, parents and staff. We also tie up with some business enterprises that donate vouchers and share entertainment. All proceeds go to our sponsored charity.
