The Movement is led by the Public Hygiene Council and supported by the NEA and Singapore Kindness Movement. Since its launch, the Movement has engaged over 15,000 volunteers including students, NGOs, corporate workers, grassroots leaders and residents. In 2014, the Movement was introduced to schools to foster among students a deeper sense of personal responsibility for the environment. Schools embraced the programme; by the end of 2016, students in all schools from primary to junior college levels will be involved in the daily cleaning of their school environment. Working in tandem with the Movement, NEA ran a publicity campaign across multiple platforms including traditional media, out-of-home media, online and digital media, social media and on-ground activations. The campaign focused on promoting a socially gracious culture and encouraging the community to do their part to keep Singapore clean. COLLABORATING WITH THE COMMUNITY AND OUR PARTNERS
