What’s New In August 2025

A celebration of bonds, bites and big hearts at SAFRA

By Sean Tan        1 August 2025

August is shaping up to be an exciting, feel-good month at SAFRA as we mark SG60 with a vibrant mix of fun, food and community spirit across our clubs. From making a splash for charity at SAFRA Swim For Hope to indulging in cool matcha treats and soaking in nostalgic National Day festivities, there’s something for everyone – NSmen, families, foodies and photo buffs alike. Whether you’re giving back, enjoying $6 member promos, or just relaxing with a well-earned kopi, this month is all about celebrating what makes us proudly Singaporean – heartfelt connections, shared memories, and meaningful moments together.

Make a Splash for a Good Cause 

In celebration of SG60, SAFRA Swim For Hope returns with a meaningful mission –rallying 6,000 participants to raise $300,000 for communities in need. This year’s beneficiaries include Community Chest (supporting groups like AWWA and Singapore Cancer Society), Singapore Aquatics, President’s Challenge and the SAF Care Fund. Participants can swim at SAFRA clubs, virtually from anywhere, or do both in a hybrid format with a minimum of 1km completed on-site. To top it off, there’ll be carnival fun at SAFRA Mount Faber and Yishun on 16 August, with an inflatable pool obstacle course and classic treats like churros and nacho cheese to enjoy with the fam. Tickets for the carnival is already on sale at $20 for 4 pax (additional tickets at $5 each) while registration for SAFRA Swim For Hope will open on 4 August. Nett proceeds for this campaign will support the SAFRA Swim For Hope beneficiaries. Come swim for hope, swim for change!
