Singapore Silent Heroes Awards 2025 open for nominations till June 15

The awards, organised by non-profit organisation Civilians Association (Singapore), are aimed at being a platform to inspire others to do good, while also empowering recipients to continue making a difference.

The public is encouraged to nominate those seen as "everyday heroes, who remind us that empathy, kindness and resilience are the foundations of a strong and compassionate nation".

Launched in 2014, the awards will honour individuals in five categories in 2025:

  • Heart of Humanity - Individuals with disabilities who demonstrate extraordinary compassion and service

  • Outstanding Adult - Adults who have made significant contributions to their communities through consistent volunteerism

  • Inspiring Youth - Young individuals whose actions inspire and uplift their peers and community
