About Us

About Us

Our Story

Every Contact Counts (ECC), is a charitable foundation dedicated to promoting physical fitness and active lifestyles among vulnerable populations in our community. Our mission is to use sports to empower and engaged socially marginalised members of the community, i.e. individuals who are vulnerable and struggles with their physical and mental health.

These include children and adults in the community, discharged service users from hospitals, individuals with history of offending, learning disability and the elderly.

We create a supportive environment that promotes the interests of our service users, that enable them to rebuild their live, through engaging in physical activities, mental health support, rehabilitation and social integration programs. We have a proven track record of delivering sessions across schools, community centres and hospital wards.
