The Citizens' Consultative Committees (CCCs) are at the apex of all grassroots organisations. A vital bridge between the people and the Government, the CCCs plan and lead major grassroots activities within the constituency, oversee local assistance programmes, and organise major fund-raising projects and national campaigns.
Programmes
The CCCs organise various programmes to support PA's mission.
Outreach Programmes
These programmes are designed to:
- Build strong community ties with events such as festival celebrations;
- Encourage residents to get to know and understand one another; and
- Support the Government and various agencies in nationwide campaigns such as dengue prevention, Clean & Green Week, Racial Harmony Month and Good Neighbour Day.
Assistance Programmes
CCCs help implement/ administer assistance schemes for the needy and economically underprivileged in our community. These schemes include:
- CCCs ComCare Fund for urgent, temporary relief in hardship cases;
- Edusave Awards;
- Pre-School Outreach programmes; and
- Distribution of adhoc meal/ transport vouchers.
Bridging Programmes
CCCs facilitate interaction between the people and the Government by explaining government policies and gathering feedback from residents. These bridging programmes include:
- Community forums involving residents; and
- Dialogue sessions with representatives from the Government agencies.

About Us
Community Club Management Committees (CCMCs) help build, manage and maintain all our Community Clubs (CCs). Our CCs are the common meeting ground for residents from all walks of life by providing numerous recreational activities and learning opportunities. CCs also connect residents and the Government by providing relevant information and gathering feedback on national concerns and policies. Each CC serves about 15,000 households or an average of 50,000 people.
What role does the CCMCs play?
CCMCs promote racial harmony and social cohesion through the various cultural, educational, recreational, sporting, social and other community-based activities organised specially for residents. Our CCMCs manage all the CCs, ensure that all CCs keep up with the expectations and needs of residents, and organise creative and innovative courses and activities for residents in the community.
How does the CCMCs accomplish its goals?
CCMCs are made up of volunteers who work with our professional staff to manage the CCs. Volunteers meet regularly to plan and organise programmes that meet the needs and interests of residents. By doing so, the CCMCs help bring people together at the CCs to meet, interact, share a common interest, and make friends.
