This is Mr Benjamin William. After serving as a Diplomat for 30 years with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he was seconded to the Singapore Red Cross (SRC) as a Director of the International Services department in April 2001. When Former Secretary General Christopher Chua decided to step down, Mr William was asked to take on the role of the Secretary General, which he took on in March 2012.
Since taking over the helm, SRC had launched services ElderAid, FoodAid, Home Monitoring and Eldercare, Community Health on Wheels to cater to the growing elderly population and the vulnerable who have fallen through the cracks of the society’s social safety nets. Under his leadership, the Red Cross Training Centre was rebranded the Singapore Red Cross Academy to incorporate training, not just in first aid but also in humanitarian work. The Academy also rolled out customised first aid courses tailored to meet the needs of different people. Besides that, SRC also focused on being a thought leader to galvanise public interest in humanitarian issues. Mr William also played an instrumental role in developing the Volunteer Service Pathway to maximise the potential of volunteers based on interests, preferences and their leadership skills. Besides strengthening SRC’s local presence, Mr William also sharpened its disaster response by building a strong volunteer pool, and deploying volunteers within 48 hours of a disaster.
Given his diplomatic background, Mr William saw the importance of engaging the diplomatic community. In 2018, he conceived the Diplomatic Night to bring the Diplomatic community together, as partners of SRC.
We would like to thank Mr William for shaping SRC into an organisation that is relevant to the times, in catering its services to the needs of the vulnerable in our society.
A huge thank you to the students and lecturer from ITE College East's NITEC in Digital Audio & Video Production, School of Electronics & Info-Comm Technology for the production of our "My Red Cross Memories" series.
