I went to the website and these are the "special events":
1. Vision Casting Team Bonding Games 2022
2. Beyond the horizon - It's jusr just their 16th anniversary, and then it stated that "it was an honour and a privilege to be able to accomodate so many esteemed guests"
3. TNCM charity golf 2022

I was not able to find out any real evidence of contribution to any charity, despite having one charity golf graced by Seah Kian Peng.
Going through the website it's full of statements put out by past and current famous politicians. Why do this? Seems too eager to show that they're supported by politicians and hence they're legitimate. My opinion is it's wayang to the max. As a social enterprise, do what you are supposed to do, no need to glorify your organisation. If you have donated to charities, show which are those supported. Don't pull famous people in as advertisement - it's usually the first sign of a scam.
Because you cannot find you want to insinuate they have done no charity work. The core founders of this group gave up their time and put up their own money. They build from nothing to do so much.
How did I get to know this group was when they came over to my block to help refurbish one of the eldely's home. I myself had done nothing because I am so used to poor living conditions I did not think it was anything to be done. That day I help to do some painting by the time I saw them they were almost done so my help was minimal. I told them to call me the next time.
That was how I got to know them.
But what is great about these people is not that they change lives but that they change people's hearts. Their businesses hire ex convicts who find it hard to get jobs. ...that is the reason they started some of the businesses. When they reach out to help ex convicts they found this was the key problem. Bringing them in accepting them and changing their hearts they turn people around.
If you want to see their charity work which you claim you find no evidence, there is a number on the link I gave call it volunteer and see for your self.
I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
