The Greenhouse Community Services Ltd

What The Greenhouse Community Services Ltd does

The Greenhouse Community Services Ltd is a Singapore-registered non-profit substance use recovery centre serving marginalised and vulnerable populations, with explicit prioritisation of LGBT individuals, women, racial minorities, those living with HIV, and formerly incarcerated persons. The centre operates a trauma-informed 'Heal, Grow, Serve' framework that combines 12-step methodology, peer-led mentorship, professional counselling (including a Counselling Internship Programme), self-help group meetings, therapeutic horticulture, and a Friends & Family Programme. Service catalogue breadth extends to a Lifeline Programme developed by gay men for gay men, practitioner training, NCSS Certified Peer Support Specialist credentials, recovery ambassador advocacy, and a research function targeting Singapore and the broader region.

The business model relies on two revenue streams: tax-deductible charitable donations routed through Singapore's official Giving.SG portal — eligible for 250% tax deduction and 50% matching via the Tote Board Enhanced Fundraising Programme — and corporate social responsibility engagements. Named enterprise partners include Julius Baer, Gilead Sciences, Micron, Google Singapore, and Revolut, which engage through workshops, volunteering, talks, and programme adoption. Direct services to beneficiaries are provided at no cost through a single physical centre in Singapore, with beneficiary intake sourced from NAMS referrals, WeCare referrals, and word of mouth.

Infrastructure is deliberately light: no mobile app, API, or SDK is offered, and the digital footprint centres on a Squarespace-hosted website, social channels, and an active story-publication programme. The organisation self-positions as Singapore's only LGBT-affirming addiction recovery centre. No financial figures, headcount, or funding-round data are disclosed, and the entity has no parent organisation.
